Republicanism is a File:Nonquadrant.png Non-Quadrant ideology centered on a system of government that (at least nominally) is non-hereditary, and opposition to Monarchism. Most of his views are dependent on context, varying from country to country. The only consistent trait has been hatred for monarchist systems.

History

Republicanism is a political ideology centered on citizenship in a state organized as a republic, where the people hold popular sovereignty rather than being subjects of a monarch. Republics have existed since Classical Antiquity. Notable early examples include the File:Res Publica.png Roman Republic and Carthage. However, by the beginning of the Common Era, Carthage had long been destroyed, and Rome became an empire under Augustus, temporarily ending republican forms of government in Europe.

During the Middle Ages, several city-states in File:Cball-North Italy.png Northern Italy established republican governments, such as Venice, Pisa, and Genoa. Though small in territory, these maritime republics were wealthy and influential in trade and politics. The Holy Roman Empire also included many free imperial cities governed as republics with elected councils and mayors.

In the Early Modern period, the Dutch Republic emerged as a powerful and wealthy republic following its independence from Spain. Around the same time, England experienced a short-lived republican period under the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell after the English Civil War.

Republicanism took on its modern form during the File:Enlightenment.png Enlightenment, which emphasized individual rights, popular sovereignty, and the rejection of hereditary rule. Events such as the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Spanish-American Wars of Independence, and later the Russian Civil War contributed to republics becoming the dominant form of government by the 1920s, at least in Europe and the Americas.

Foundations

Republicanism is based on a rejection of any form of hereditary rule, whether absolute, limited or File:Cermon.png ceremonial. The republic can be presidential, semi-presidential, parliamentary, one-party or non-partisan dicatorial. It is a broad movement, with the motive for abolition of the monarchy varying on the time period, the country and the situation.

Personality and Behaviour

Republicanism REALLY hates monarchists and is usually seen attacking them. Acts as a mentor to Leninism, Jacobinism, Ilminism, and other ideologies that explicitly oppose the monarchy. Hangs out with File:Enlightenment.png Enlightenment Thought.

Frenemies

• Anarchism - No state means no republic, which is bad, but we fought against monarchist counterrevolutionaries together in Spain.
• Juche - You're on thin ice, Mr. "Paektu Dynasty".
• Ba'athism - You too, Mr. "Al-Assad". Also, FSA is far better.
• File:Conserv.png Conservatism - You call yourselves the "republican party", yet you don't kill monarchists. curious. And outside of the US, some are monarchists, but some are not.
  • File:Conserv.png The reason why my American variant does not kill monarchists is that you won back in 1783, and the loyalists were booted out. There are no more monarchists left to kill there. Your mission is accomplished.

• Fascism - Tu as essayé, but keeping the king on the throne was a mistake. But at least you later formed your own republic in 1943 and your actions indirectly lead to the permanent abolition of the monarchy in 1946.
• Apartheid - You should have left the crown in 1948, not 1961!
• Reactionaryism - You may not be explicitly monarchist, but you tend to side with them at times. But at least we both like the Islamic Republic of Iran.

• File:Cromwell.png Cromwellism - Thank you for making the British Isles a republic for a brief time but it would had happened sooner if you didn't defend the king prior. In addition, why did your son succeed you after you died?!?!?
• Bonapartism - A French "Imperial Republic"?! You confuse & frustrate me in ways I cannot understand!
• File:Res Publica.png Roman Republicanism - One of my first major influences, though you led into a Monarchy far too easily.
• File:Cermon.png Ceremonial Monarchism - I should hate you way more, but at this point, you're basically just a celebrity who technically runs a country. Sparing and using you as an example to portray royals as lazy and File:Hedonism-cloud.png hedonistic File:Kak-Dunce.png man-children who drain the treasury are great propaganda against monarchism! 🦀🦀🦀 Na Na Na Na Na Na~ Lizzie's in a box~ (in a box!) 🦀🦀🦀
  • File:Cermon.png Charles III will show you your place hahaha.

• File:Corbynism-ball.png Corbynism - You personally want a republic, yet don't have the balls to try actually getting rid of it because you're worried you'll hurt the feelings of the people who needlessly worship the royal family.
• File:Thaksin.png Thaksinism - I hope the conspiracies about what the Thai Royalists say about you are true.
