Okay, Cananach dies late 1925 or 1926, and the revolution was 1906-1914, with some unrest and pockets as late as 1918 or 19. I don't have an established date of birth so his age is malleable. He could die in his early 40s of a medical issue or later in life, so we've got a lot to work with, and I can mess with some dates if we really need to somehow.
==The Four Theses==
The tenets of Cananachan Republicanism are organized into a set of overarching points called the Four Theses. While there is overlap between them, they each handle specific issues with government. 'Sovereignty' outlines the basis of political authority and the rights and duties of the People, 'Nationalism' outlines the rights and duties of the State and lays out its mandate, 
 
===''Flaitheas'' (Sovereignty)===
The First Thesis, Sovereignty, centers on the source of legal power in a Cananachan Republic. It establishes two entities, the {{wp|Civil society|People}} and the State, as concepts and lays out their sources, rights, and duties.
 
''"A represented People and an effective State creating prosperity;
 
A represented People and an ineffective State creating poverty;
 
An unrepresented People and an effective State creating tyranny;
 
And an unrepresented People and an ineffective State leading to revolution."''
 
The First Thesis outlines the rights and duties of both the state and the people, as well as the basis of each.
 
====The People====
The People are defined as any group with a sense of collective consciousness, but is noted to be most often based on {{wp|Ethnonationalism|shared culture}} rather than {{wp|Civic nationalism|pluralism}}. However, it specifies that tolerance of minority citizens is of equal importance to the treatment of citizens from a nation's majority, in contrast to historic governments in [[Faneria]].
 
The People are considered the source of legal authority through popular support, and have the rights to life, personal property, self-defense, thought, and political representation. Importantly, only Citizens have the right to *elect* their representation, while the politically apathetic and children have the right to be represented but not necessarily to vote. The Peoples' duties are cooperation with lawful operations of the State and, in the case of citizens, '{{wp|civic engagement|civil contribution}}' (meaning taxes, jury duty, cooperation with legal authorities, and militia service in wartime).
Unlike the State, the rights and duties of the People apply to individuals; the People cannot be collectively tried in court. The State commonly stands as a legal entity both for itself and 'in place' of the People.
 
====The State====
The State is defined as a group of Citizens elected to form a smaller collective representing the People. In theory, its right to rule directly stems from the consent of the People. As a result, monarchic governments fall into a range of partial compliance and noncompliance with the First Thesis, requiring a republican form of government due to the election clause. Whether crowned republics and various types of elective monarchy are compliant with the First Thesis is an ongoing debate within political circles, which is critical to political discourse due to it defining if a Cananachan republic is ideologically opposed to such states or not.
 
The duties of the state mirror the rights of the People with the addition of the self-preservation of the State. The State's rights consist of the rights to pass and enforce laws and regulations and to represent the People both diplomatically and through war.
 
===''Riaghaltasachd'' (Governance)===
The Second Thesis, Governance, outlines a {{wp|Republicanism|republican}} form of government, breaking the core powers of the state into lawmaking, judicial operations, warfare, regulation, and international relations. Of these, regulation and warfare are considered too dangerous to both State and People to merely have checks and balances, instead being subordinate to the branches of government. The resulting system has four branches of government: Judicial, Legislative, Executive, and Budgeting. Budgets in the common form of a republic (three-branch republicanism) are typically handled by the legislature and the executive body, but in the Second Thesis, Cananach argues that power over the budget being separated to a council and approved by the legislature would the power of each branch individually.
 
The Second Thesis devolves administrative functions of government to Offices subordinate to their related branches of government. In theory, this creates four equal branches with a set of ministries appointed to each; in practice, the Executive branch usually has strong power over the bureaucracy.
 
===''Nàiseantachd'' (Nationalism)===
The Third Thesis calls for civic and national pride, the rejection of subjugation to foreign governments, a sense of 'national self-respect', and the viewing of international diplomacy as a mixture of competing and cooperating wholes, each composed of States and Peoples.
 
===''Teachdail'' (Futurism/Modernism)===
The Fourth Thesis, loosely translated to futurism, modernism, or scientism, outlines a general philosophical view based on {{wp|Scientism}}, political reformism, {{wp|Mathematicism}}, and indutrialization. It pushes for mechanization of industry, a focus on public infrastructure and works, heavy investment into the sciences and arts, and a secular government that refuses the authority of religious bodies to any formal legal power in government.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Kalma... dunno. We should work out dates of birth, death, coming of age, and the general time frame when they met.
Currently reading Restarkism - more than just skimming this time - and looking through French revolutionary and Three Principles stuff for inspiration.

==Key Pillars==


Underlying Concepts: Scientism, Constructivism/Mathematicism, Secularism, Organicism, Reformism, Republicanism, Multicameralism, Futurism, Nationalism, Populism, Classical Liberalism, Social Liberalism, Civic Duty, Big Tent Politics, Antimonarchism, Pragmatism, Antitheocracy, Pluralism, Holism, Positivism, Computational theory of mind/'Man a Machine' theory ala Julien Offray de La Mettrie, a few others I can't recall but largely of a similar vein

-- Scientism - knowledge, and more importantly, understanding it is the key to personal and political improvement, and the suppression of information, denial, or opacity is ultimately a detriment to the nation barring exceptional circumstances

-- Development - mechanization of production, sciences, education, infrastructure are the foundational blocks of wellbeing and prosperity both for the individual and the nation. The organicist tones usually emphasized in 'Review' come out here in the concept of civic greenery, home gardens, and use of artificial landforms, embankments, and so on.

-- Review - reform and adaptation of the state to fit the needs of its people is a must, and should be considered part of daily maintenance, the same as buying new clothes to fit as one ages

===Nationalism===
-- Pride -  considered 'national self-respect' or 'Brotherly Nationalism', not as a supremacist ideal
-- The New Man - summarily described as 'the eternal push forward', this point rejects the concept of the perfected person (as seen in naz/bol systems) and the Randian hyperindependent man in favor of promoting a balance of personal and social wellbeing. Heavily emphasizes altruism on a personal level, meritocracy, the use of labor and education to improve health, and the idea of endless improvement on the micro scale as an element of national improvement, rather than having a distinct end goal.

===Sovereignty===
-- The People - the consensus of all involved is the foundation of a 'right to govern' - there's no concept of 'no taxation without representation', but there is a concept of not owing the state if you are discluded. Realistically, this is window dressing to make it look even better, but the fundamental legal point that sovereignty comes from the people is still a core element of the system that the government must either follow properly or at least aggressively suck up to, depending on the zeitgeist of the period, stability, and the leadership at the time. (30s-70s were bad for this point, and there was a worry around the early 200s)
-- Rights - rights fundamentally come from existing in the first place - people live unharmed unless stopped, therefore they deserve to live unmolested. Harm to others, usually intentional, is considered the key marker of what should not be allowed, and is the basis of what is considered crime, whether directly or indirectly. This point is the crux of abortion debates in Faneria, and is why the country made progress on self-harm issues like suicide a little faster than the general curve. Free speech, property, voting, and civil rights are considered part of the necessary apparatus of healthy living, and thus removing them without serious need is a form of restricting free will.
-- Duties - the gov't has a duty to provide the minimum for life for its people, and is morally expected to fulfil that and then some. Since it's a function of human interaction, a great deal of emphasis is put on personal initiative and benevolence, but the state as an organization is obligated to protect persons' bodies and property, as well as to respect individual free will barring any harm to others. Citizens are considered to have a duty to maintain the state rather than damage it, as that often causes indirect harm to others, to press for reform if they feel wronged, and to support the state monetarily and occasionally in other forms, like being called for jury duty or conscription. Voluntary public service in any form is lauded.

Also, Faneria is a centrally-run state, not a federal one. I know the title on my infobox is wrong, I gotta change it. This could be a thing where they disagree on the mechanics of government and how sovereignty is best channeled, but it could also be that Faneria is less diverse than the Cape or as an element of anti-feudal/anti-monarchial sentiment, or even as an allusion to the late days of the monarchy where the nobility had no real power and were forced into business rather than governance.
