Hanoveran Royal Framework

The is an ideology which seeks independence from germany in favor of a Hanoveran (or ideally, united low-german) state. It is generally progressive, in favor of LGBT, racial equality and so forth and so forth. It generally wishes to establish a ceremonial monarchy with the house of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (or if you are cringe, Windsor) as it's royal house. It is in favor of a free market without government intervention, and the right to unionize or in radical cases collectivize businesses, and seeks to revive low-german culture.

Trade and Markets
The Hanoveran Royal Framework believes in an market, in which only internal business policy can be regulated by the government, and tariffs are abolished, in favour of free trade. Public services which are provided by the government are entirely optional, with private alternatives being freely available, causing the government to have to compete with private companies and innovate, this would increase the development of technology massively, which falls in line with the transhumanist beliefs.

Unions and Regulations
It supports unionization, making it mandatory, starting at 15 employees, as well as incentivizing workplace democracy and safety with a tax cut for businesses exceedingly meeting the Workplace Safety and Workforce Rights Standard. In case of an employer being deemed as exploitative of his workforce, the union can initiate a collectivization initiative. This initiative would take into effect after a union vote, in which 75% of union members have to vote yes, which would cause the employer to lose his position. He can challenge this though and if found not guilty by an independent 3rd party, which is thoroughly checked to not be aligned or bribed by either side. This would lead to the union representative(s) being fined a sum decided on a case-per-case basis by the court, as well as having to cover the employers legal fees.

Seperatism
The Hanoveran Royal Framework advocates for the seccession of Lower-Saxony, or ideally ALL of North Germany from the german state, seeing itself as low-german, instead of identifying with the rest of german culture. The wish to secede comes from the active suppression of low-german culture which the german state is exercising, as well as the simple wish to revive the culture. This would mostly be achieved via the change of official language of communication and the exchange of german-speaking classes with low-german ones in schools.

Multiculturalism
The Hanoveran Royal Framework is generally very supportive of Multiculturalism, and whilst this might at first seem contradictory to the cultural revival, the two actually work together. The ideology seeks independence not because it sees itself as better or more pure than other germans, but simply to reverse the suppression the culture has received by the german state. Notice, that it does not oppose having the culture influenced through external means, but simply opposes active suppression.

Social Issues
The Hanoveran Royal Framework is progressive on most of the major social issues, being pro-LGBT, pro-racial equality, pro-absolute gender equality, pro-abortion, and generally any other well-known topic.

Semi-Direct Democracy
The country is divided into administrative regions, which roughly align with city borders. Whenever an issue is brought up in the federal government, each of these regions has to give their say on the matter, the way in which a region figures out their way to respond, is handled by the regional council itself, yet must be in line with the regional regulation for democratic elections. If a group of people within a region deem the region too unrepresentative of the people within the group, they can either attempt to make the region democratic by involving the federal state, which will analyze the region and if deemed undemocratic, be forced to make changes to their laws. The secong option they have would be to attempt to split of from the region entirely, this would be done via a popular referrendum within the affected region, to clarify, that means only the parts where people are deeming the region undemocratic, which needs at least 65% approval to succeed.

Federalism
The country gives the states a great number of autonomy, giving them control of things going from education system to criminal code to their own court seperate from the national court. The states from here on will be referred to by their name "Regionalstaat", to avoid confusion between a federal state and the national state. Generally, a state is free to do as they please, within limits of the constitution.

Powers of the State
The state's powers are very limited, to the point where the state's legislative force is basically non-existent, as the state itself contains no law but the constitution, leaving how it is interpreted to the Regionalstaaten. Constitutional ammendments are possible of course, using a 75% majority national popular vote. The judicial branch of government, though, is completely free to their own bounds, and can protest any Regionalstaat's decision, and in extreme cases overrule it entirely, with approval of 75% of other Regionalstaaten.

Absolute Freedom of Individual
The state specifically prohibits any kind of regulation on what you do to yourself, meaning you can take drugs, own a collection of firearms and basically anything else you desire, as long as you do not harm another human being, what is considered harm is written in "the governmental definition of harm".

Freedom of Expression
You are allowed to express yourself in almost anyway you want. You can express yourself politically, as there are no regulations on which parties or ideologies are allowed to run. You can express yourself visually, as there are no regulations on clothing (excluding nudism) and you can express yourself creatively, as the state does not regulate any media, excluding of course age ratings, which are still just recommendations and not law though.
