| Lindstromism
| | [[category: In_MicroWiki]] |
| 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.
