− | Lindstromism
| + | [http://micras.org/wiki/index.php?title=Lindstromism on MicrasWiki] |
− | is the political idealogy created by [[Nathan Shepard]]. A pure
| + | |
− | lindstromist government involves a single check on an absolute ruler,
| |
− | that of, in traditional lindstromist idealogy, death. Modern
| |
− | lindstromism involves removing the ruler from power, and a further
| |
− | check is usually in place. A high judge is given the power to remove
| |
− | the ruler from office, but the national legislature may vote to
| |
− | overturn this judicial decision.
| |
− | The fictional founding of lindstromism dates back to 17th century
| |
− | Sweden, when the poltical theorist Gustav Lindstrom first suggested the
| |
− | check on the Swedish throne. He was imprisoned and executed and his
| |
− | political writings vanished. As the story goes, Nathan Shepard
| |
− | rediscovered the ancient texts and put them into practice when
| |
− | reorganizing the city of Natopia into a micronation.
| |
− | The Sovereign Imperial Kingdom of [[Natopia]] is the only nation that
| |
− | operates on lindstromist principles, although the principles have
| |
− | largly been infused with democratic ideals over time.
