Verionism (also: Jackism) is a Shirerithian political ideology that has been around since the 5th century but rose to prominence shortly before the Kaisership of Verion I.

Philosophy

The most important principle of Verionism is the "Freedom of the Shirithian". As such, Verionism promotes a centralised nation with limited but concentrated governmental powers. Verionism is critical of Shirithian regionalism for its tendency to expand government and threaten civil liberties.

Economically, Verionism favours laisez-faire capitalism, claiming it to be the fundamental principle through which the Shirerithian economy will grow.

Shirithian nationalism is another aspect of Verionism. The Verionist political faction was vehemenently opposed to the Kildari Independence and has maintained a critical position on relations with Hamland and Jingdao.

Examples

Verionism has been a significant ideology in Elwynn, where it was promoted by the Democratic Alliance of Elwynn. It has similarities with Ayreonism and with the Conservative-Republican movement.

A clear example of Verionism was the reign of Kaiser Verion I, which saw a dramatic decrease of government powers, especially through the Verion Economic Reforms. Some say the current Chapter contains Verionist elements.
