the major turning point in Cananach's life would likely be the disastrous 1888 war against Kuhl. I'm imagining he got out physically unscathed, but it was an absolute shitshow where his country not only started a war by Royal fiat, but proceeded to lose it spectacularly and even give up a large chunk of what's now Kuhl's Vandarch coast | the major turning point in Cananach's life would likely be the disastrous 1888 war against Kuhl.

Nationalism: | |||
Cultural and Territorial Nationalism/National Identity: Cananachan Republicanism defines a nation as the combination of a culture and people; while people can be disparate or unified, they only become a Nation when they share a common linguistic or cultural tie and only become a governable unit when collected in a relatively contiguous area. This means that a nation can consist of numerous ethnic groups as long as they share a language and some degree of group consciousness, through history or shared hardship or other means. | |||
National Solidarity: In Cananach’s view, socialist ideals on class were fundamentally fractuous and opposed to social cohesion. Rather than promoting class solidarity, he encouraged the idea of national solidarity – a pseudocollectivist concept that all tiers of a society had to work together in order for society to function. Rather than being seen as a tool, solidarity is instead a goal, with the various methods of ensuring legal equality and representation acting as means to create solidarity within a nation. | |||
The National Embodiment: In Fhainnin tradition, the government of the nation is legally indistinguishable from the nation itself; in other words, similar to the *Rih*s of old, the state is itself not a distinct legal entity from the nation. This is the foundational principle for the principle of the National Embodiment, a concept that ideally makes the State the collective embodiment of the people and nation, blending the three into a cohesive whole rather than creating distinct elements. This also acts, in theory, as the legitimization of political protest as a natural right rather than a granted one. | |||
Republicanism | |||
Populism/Popular Sovereignty: Sovereignty, at its core level, stems from the general consent of a supermajority; while a simple majority or plurality can inform policy, sovereignty stems from a greater cohesion among people in terms of willingness to accept a common system and particular government. | |||
This view informs the movement’s anti-monarchist trend, as Monarchy is considered the opposite of popular rule, with legal authority concentrated in a single person rather than distributed. As such, monarchy is a crime in and of itself, while a constitutional monarchy is considered a ‘meager half-step’ as it does not fix the core issue of the source of authority laying within a person rather than the general concept of the people. | |||
Social Contract: A republican social contract necessitates the respect of natural rights (right of belief, including dissent, protest, recall, travel, proposal, speech, association, assembly, and referendum; right to live; and right to property); in exchange, people who enjoy the rights, both natural and given, and other services provided are expected to contribute to those services through taxes, respectful use of public goods and services, obedience to the law, and military service in wartime. | |||
Representative Government: This part details the structure of government, detailing a tricameral legislature and an executive branch, with the judicial branch having some additional checking power. | |||
Reformism | |||
Modernism/Futurism/Transhumanism/Technonationalism/Scientism: A somewhat bulky and multifaceted concept, Futurism in Cananachan Republicanism combines elements of Scientism, Modernism, and Futurism. It advocated for national research and development programs, a focus on state-operated educational, cultural, and infrastructure projects, and a lesser focus on mechanization, technophillia, and great public works. | |||
Jurisprudence: | |||
Anticlericalism/Secularism: Secularism in Cananachan Republicanism includes both religious and civil religions, warning against the overwhelming control of the state or state powers by a single ideological group. This fundamentally demanded a split within the Republican Party to prevent a single viewpoint from ossifying the state’s functions, and along with the tenet of Popular Sovereignty created the foundation of the philosophy’s original belief of perpetual revolution. | |||
Peoples’ Development: | |||
