Nolanism is a strain of liberal thought within Urcea that advocates the complete adoption of liberal social and economic ideas while remaining neutral on political issues such as the structure of the constitution or monarchy. Nolanists are generally regarded as a radical strain of conservative liberals, with the ideology calling for no accomodation with ancient institutions in Urcea such as the guild system, the established Catholic Church, and the prevalence of so-called vice laws. Nolanism is generally opposed to Crown Liberalism and views the emancipation of the individual and enshrinement of civil rights at the center of Urcean society as its chief aims. Adherents of the ideology also denounce socialism and various left-wing movements, feeling that they often make the monarchy a politically distracting issue while making their civil rights-oriented goals more easily subject to strawman dismissals. The ideology is named for Linar Orens-Nolan, a onetime National Pact member of the Concilium Daoni and mid-20th century thought leader.
