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.

Due to this, some Tulipanists identify themselves as nationalists of their home regions rather than the nations they're a part of.
