Tulipanism

Tulipanism is a sociopolitical movement and ideology primarily present in Eldham. The values of individualism, pacifism, democracy, free will, promotion of the arts, and abolition of autocracy are all characteristic of the movement. The symbol of tulips is typically used to represent Tulipanists. It is generally regarded to be founded by Seved Driets de Honse, a Baykonian Noble.

It often parallels the real world ideological shifts of the Enlightenment.

Classical Tulipanism
Classical Tulipanism is a kind of Tulipanism that espouses liberalism and pacifism. It is the original kind of Tulipanism that was formed as an opposition to Bardonian expansionism. Classical Tulipanists argue that war causes destruction and thus gives no value to the world. Instead, tolerance and cultural advancements will enrich the world and make it a better place. For this reason, Classical Tulipanists are also in favour of Squatters' Rights as they see squatters as newcomers who merely wants to live in peace and decide over his/her own fate.

Tulipanist Socialism
This ideology tends to revolve around the core values of Tulipanism with a focus on the establishment of a socialist state with minimal government intervention of the daily lives of civilians, only existing to ensure the continuation of socialism and the wellbeing of the people.

Conservative Tulipanism
Conservative Tulipanism is a kind of Tulipanism which prioritises the nation and the culture of the nation. They argue that the culture of the nation must be preserved and promoted within the nation. They tend to favour Pluralism, tolerating other religions but promoting and granting privileges to the state religion. Conservative Tulipanism therefore tends to be more nationalistic and traditionalist than other forms of Tulipanism.

Modern Tulipanism
Modern Tulipanism is the kind of Tulipanism currently espoused by the Tulipanist Party of Baykonia and Zamotz. They favour a parliamentary democracy where the executive and the monarchy, if there is one, are both accountable to the legislature. They argue in favour of equal rights for all bipedals (Pigs, Humans, Vampires etc.) as well as a secular state and government. Modern Tulipanism favours a market economy based on smaller businesses rather than larger ones, as they view an economy based on smaller businesses as more open and free than economies based on larger businesses. Modern Tulipanists also tend to favour a decentralised state over a centralised one, being in favour of preserving regional cultures, identities and traditions. Due to this, some Tulipanists identify themselves as nationalists of their home regions rather than the nations they're a part of.
