ROSIANISM | UNE IDÉOLOGIE

[Franczhiz 4438]

— R O S I A N I S M —

As written by the Rosianist Scribes of Louisanne

Preamble

Rosianism  is an ideology which follows the ideas and political legacy set by the past Lords of Rosius, specifically derived from the founders and progenitors of the House de Rosius; Valent Philip de Rosius and Sir Otis Maximilian, Baron of Rosius. Based upon the Rosius' rise from commoners to nobility, the ideology of Rosianism makes no distinction between the rights of the nobility, the backbone of the government, or the commoner, the backbone of our society.

Core Principles

Monarchical Absolutism

The Monarchs are the ultimate authority, ordained by GOD and bound by divine right to rule. The monarch's power is absolute.

 

Nobility

The nobility are the protectors of Heartlander traditions and values. They are granted significant privileges and responsibilities, including governance of lands and military leadership, to maintain the social order and stability.

 

Traditionalism

Rosianism places a high value on maintaining and preserving ancient customs, tradition, and social norms. Change is viewed with suspicion, and innovations are only accepted if they align with or reinforce existing traditions.

 

Militarism

Rosianism promotes a strong and disciplined military to defend the Heartlander Confederation from external threats and suppress internal dissent. Military service is considered a noble duty, and warriors are highly respected in society.

 

Religious Orthodoxy

Rosianism is deeply intertwined with the state religion, Canondom, with the High Pontiff as its earthly representative. The Church supports the monarchy, and the church plays a crucial role in legitimizing the Monarch's rule and maintaining moral order.

 

Hierarchical Social Structure

Society is strictly stratified with clear distinctions between classes. Each class has specific roles and duties that contribute to the overall harmony of the Confederation

 

Patriotism and Nationalism

Heartlanders are taught to take immense pride in their heritage, culture, and the kingdom's history. National unity is paramount, and loyalty to the monarchs and country is expected of all subjects.

Social Structure

The Monarch

At the top, the Monarchs embodies the will of the Confederation, ruling with absolute power.

 

The Nobility

Below the Monarchs, the noble class governs the land, leads the military, and upholds traditional values. Nobles are hereditary and often reside in fortified castles.

 

The Clergy

Clergymen who interpret the Holy Scrolls, support the monarchy, and oversee religious practices and moral conduct. 

 

The Warriors

Knights and soldiers who defend the Confederation. They are honored for their service and uphold the chivalric code.

 

The Commoners

Farmers, artisans, and merchants who form the backbone of the economy. 

Key Policies

Land Ownership

Land is concentrated in the hands of the Royal Household and the Council. Commoners may work the land but rarely own it. The feudal system ensures that each class is dependent on the other.

 

Law and Order

Laws are strict and enforcement is harsh. Punishments are severe to deter crime and maintain social order. Justice is administered by the local lords and ultimately by the king and his council.

 

Economic Regulation

The economy is primarily agrarian and through the selling of minerals, with guilds controlling trades and crafts. Market activities are regulated to prevent social upheaval and ensure fair dealings.

Symbolism

The Rose

The emblem of Rosius, symbolizing purity and strength.

“Long live Rosius.” Says some old Wick from some far land.
