Thalassocracy

"This article is about sea power. For the Rule of the Sea, see Hydrarchy. For it's land equivalent, see Tellurocracy."

Thalassocracy is a political ideology that holds for a state that has naval control over a body of water (specifically seas and even oceans), either militarily or commercially. However, Thalassocracy is more of a policy rather than an ideology.

History
Majapahit - The Majapahit were a thalassocracy controlling an empire in the East Indies, the underlying political system was a Hindu monarchy led by the Chakravartin, considered a living god with rightful dominion over Earth. While the Chakravartin had control over Bhumi, or the nation, the Rayja controls the Nagara, or the province, the Watek describes the regency, led by the Wiyasa, the Kuwu, or district was controlled by the Lurah, the Wanua, or village, was owned by the Thani, and finally, the Kabayutan described the hamlet or sanctuary.

Minoan Civilization - The origin of the name thalassocracy, given to them by neighboring Greece. TBA

Friends
Stratocracy - Really loving that military dictatorship! Have you thought about spicing things up with a naval emphasis?

Imperialism - I think it's time to broaden your horizons, land acquisition's all well and good but you need to get yourself some water.

Dengism - Island building, an interesting way to update for the modern day, I like it.

Senatorialism - Well hello, I would be glad to let you stay... if you give me the space between dimensions, do we have a deal?

Plutocracy, Technocracy, Corporatocracy, and Combatocracy - Al of you are extremely compatible with me in a nation with an important coastline.

National Primitivism - A state, I like that, you don't want the degenerates coming in by sea, do you? The answer is of course a canoe brigade!

Frenemies
Hydrarchy - You're my son, but you need to stop raiding mercantile ships, you can still say arr, if you like.

Globalism - You give those shipping companies I like so much more power, just stop complicating naval borders please.

Right Anarchism - Oh no! I hate you! How dare you infringe upon the state! (whispers) but are you willing to give corporations aquatic territory?

Anarcho-Primitivist - I know you call yourself an anarchist, but can the tribe occupy a river with a bunch of rafts?

Enemies
Primal Primitivism: No, I will not abide this, we must have boats!

Left and center anarchism - Property is not theft, and the state has a right to its territory, especially aquatic!

Anarcho-pacifism - The worst of all, no navy, no commercial ships, nothing. The only good thing about international waters is I can throw you overboard without consequence.
