Many at first thought of an authoritarian government think of the states created by the National German Worker’s Party in Germany and the Bolsheviks in Russia and thus with this preconceived biased they are too xenophobic to even give any notice the overwhelming virtues of authoritarian government, rather they focus all their effort on exploring the vices of the authoritarian government. This xenophobia has caused most of the common to be afraid of anything that is slightly authoritarian throwing the label, “Nazi” on anything that is, and from this biased they demand the government to act with as little authoritarian traits as possible; thus greatly impeding the government’s ability to use it’s rightful authority. Without the ability to use overwhelming authority a government will soon find itself unable to command and with the lack of command corruption shall flourish thus dooming the government to a steady decline into nothingness. This point that has been brought forth seems to be unseen in today’s politics and instead many would be content to anarchy despite the fact most are unknowing of what anarchy truly is: a system of chaos from which there will be no order and without order there shall be no peace. Instead it is what people fear that will save them from anarchy and this is authority for where authority is peace shall come from the chaos and from peace will come prosperity. Thus it is the government’s jobs not to not wield authority but rather to wield it in a regulated manner; this ensuring that it is never abused.
The key to properly wielded authority is a properly maintained power base and chain of command. In authoritarian government of the past the power usually resided in one family whose power was passed on from one hereditary monarch to another monarch within the same family. Today in democratic government the power base is spread out among an elected government with no true ultimate authority. Both have their faults: in a hierarchal monarchy the figure of ultimate authority often are extremely varied in skill: sometimes they are brilliant, sometimes idiotic, and sometimes righteous and sometimes they are deranged yet, in a democratic government, whose right to rule is not a right born from one’s blood but rather by popular sovereignty, there is no true ultimate authority and power base thus allowing partisans to take hold and stop the government cold. It is needed for a government to have some sort of singular ultimate authority, a Supreme Monarch, yet, it is also necessary that this singular ultimate authority to be given only to those who have shown up most talent in regulating a government and for those given the ultimate authority to have one true devotion: the nation that is symbolized by them. To choose the next Supreme Monarch the previous Supreme Monarch should abides the Adopted Emperor System found within the Roman Empire in the Era of Five Good Emperors. This system allows the previous Supreme Monarch to pick the most loyal and capable person that is found to replace them when their reign has ended and the heir to the current Supreme Monarch shall not be a task for later in the Supreme Monarch’s reign rather quickly should a successor be found so that the successor can be some sort of apprentice, to learn both the virtues and vices of the Supreme Monarch that they serve, to the Supreme Monarch during their reign; this quick picking of a successor also prevents a swift tragedy from submerging the state into civil disarray as a successor to the now dead Supreme Monarch is found. With power under a well-chosen and well-trained Supreme Monarch the government lead by this ultimate authority can be well regulated and maintained so that the legislation passed through the government can be both just and well crafted.
With a just Supreme Monarch whose very word is the law of the state in power peace would be inevitable however, an organization is still needed to tackle the day-to-day administration of the state. To do this first priority is to form a Royal Council, which will be formed from capable and worthy members of the aristocracy and it will be this Royal Council that will be put in charge of the day-to-day administration of the state. Next to be found will be a Chancellor, who just like the Supreme Monarch will be both just and loyal but who also has great popularity among the plebeians; a Chancellor like this must be chosen by the Supreme Monarch and the Royal Council in a joint and mutual decision; this Chancellor must be loyal and as capable as the Supreme Monarch for the Chancellor will be the one who will be official dictator of the Royal Council. Both the Supreme Monarch and the Chancellor will officially oversee the actions of the Royal Council however it will be the Chancellor who truly leads it’s actions with the Supreme Monarch being there more for guidance and for advice. The Royal Council will be made up of no less than fifty chosen members of the aristocracy who have been chosen, due to their competence and loyalty, by the Supreme Monarch and Chancellor themselves with opinions of the common affecting whether or not they are chosen. The councilors within the Royal Council shall be the backbone of the state and it is them who will pass the legislature that will affect the path of the state in matters both foreign and internal however the power of the Supreme Monarch will ensure that they shall never pass legislature that does not benefit the state. Also to ensure that they, the chosen councilors of the Royal Council, do not intrude upon the rights of the common five Tribunes shall be elected by the plebeians to ensure that the legislation passed by the Royal Council is supported by the plebeians however, their power shall not overpower the will of the Supreme Monarch; whose word happens to be law. The Royal Council will be the official legislature for both the laws of the nation and for the policies that the nation takes however, the Supreme Monarch must ratify everything that passes through the Royal Council and if the Supreme Monarch does not ratify a piece of legislature the word of the Supreme Monarch is law and the piece of legislature will be considered ultimately to be vetoed; never to be discussed again by the Royal Council.
A new aristocracy shall be formed from the people who give their very existences to the state and these people shall be the best and brightest available who are willing to serve a cause greater than themselves. To get into this new national aristocracy service to your nation and your ability to govern shall be the key attributes judged and testing will play a secondary role in this process; thus favoring those who serve than those who can however chose not to serve thus keeping the aristocracy pure. These aristocrats will, as the word tends to designate, be the ruling class of the state and being the rulers of the state they shall be entitled to the honour of being the few who serve, thus deserving great gratitude from both the state and the public. Merit and morality shall be factors in deciding in every Purge who gets to stay in the aristocracy and who, due to their failure to live up the expectations put upon them, will be given an unhonourable dismissal. Those who do not serve the state to their fullest capability and those who do not follow the moral dogma put upon them by the Supreme Monarch and the state shall be the only ones to fear these purges for they are a device not of terror but rather of rejuvenation as new blood is brought in as corrupt blood is bled out of the body that is the state. True retirement from the aristocracy shall rarely happen, and only because of health reasons when it does, for once you join the aristocracy death shall be your true retirement. The aristocracy shall be the workforce of the state and from their ranks shall the leaders of the state be chosen from.
The economy and the state shall be two separate entities within the state and the state shall seek the least amount of intervention in matters involving the market. Laissez-Faire shall be the economic system used by the state and the capitalists shall be left to rule the economy however, the rights of the plebeians shall be enforced by the government in the form of laws and regulations. Right to Protest and Worker Unions shall exist to let the plebian express their views, their grievances, and to help protect their liberty from both the government and the capitalists however, the Right to Protest and Worker Unions shall never be allowed to be the tyrant and if truly necessary the government will see to it that the tyrannical Worker Union be nullified from existence. The government, plebeians, and capitalists shall work together in a mutual relationship, and neither shall be allowed to use the other two for only their own good rather this Economic Triumvirate shall work together to better both the state, the economy, and themselves for where there is cooperation in the Economic Triumvirate there shall be prosperity. If any of the three factions within the Economic Triumvirate put their own good before the good of the state and the economy it will be necessary to stop their greedy actions before it impedes the affectivity of the economy.
Monopolies shall be despised rather the economy of the state shall be an economy of competition not an economy of control. Unlike in earlier times when separate guilds and other such trade organizations each held a monopoly of one trade good in this modern time a competition of monopolies is a deadly economic system that gives too much power to the capitalists thus unbalancing the Economic Triumvirate. This destabilizing power held by the capitalists when they hold monopolies allows them too much power over how the economy functions primarily because they are the only ones who have a certain good and when they wish to stop trading that certain good it will be missing from the market places thus allowing the capitalists to stall the follow of the entire economy if they do wish to. With the capitalists having the ability to stall the economy when they wish it is not a question of if but when and when it does happen it will lead to the great loss of production thus greatly hurting the economy and the plebeians whose very existence depends on the strength of their local economy.
The Economic Triumvirate shall be a system of both trusting and balancing the three economic parties and to do so the government shall play the role of making sure that all the balancing factors in place are working as they are supposed to. The three economic parties in the Economic Triumvirate shall be the government, the plebeians and the capitalists and it is these three parties who are the economic classes of the economy. To each of the parties within the Economic Triumvirate shall be given almost equal rights, with the most rights being given to the plebeians who will have neither great political or economic power and the least being given to the government who will intervene as little times as possible in matters of the economy, and for these rights each will give certain things to each other to keep the economy balanced. The government to both the plebeians and the capitalists shall give the promise of peace and the protection of their rights that are bestowed upon to them by no other than god and the fact they are sentient beings. The capitalists to the state will give taxes and to the plebeians they will give wages in compensation for the work hours worked and a place for the plebeians to be compensated wages for their labour. The plebeians to the capitalists shall give their valiant labour and to the government the plebeians shall give both taxes and military service in the Grand Army of the state. When the grievances of any of the three parties within the Economic Triumvirate build up there must be w ay for them to vent them in a way that will fuel peaceful and mutual change in a polite and legal manner.
Government should only do what the people cannot do for themselves and little else so the state will also avoid interfering in matters of society much like it avoids regulating the economy. The more the state infers in matters of the economy the more the unjust power of the state will grow turning it from an organization that works to benefit the people loyal to its banner into a government that works only to benefit the people within the government; much like the Old Regime of Europe. The state and the Supreme Monarch will allow society to evolve independently and will only interfere when society has requested for the government to either interfere on a matter, often to liquidate tyrannical organizations, or to regulate society in some manner, often to protect sections of society from influences that prove far too corrupting for them. Religion, which is a trait to be celebrated within the aristocracy, will be left alone in matters of society and the government shall not force religion onto its people, however the state shall praise the principles of religion and it will be hoped that from the aristocracy religion osmosis into the main-stream society. However the state shall not celebrate religious value as done before in the Absolute Monarchies that hailed the doctrine of Divine Right, the state shall rather hail the Divine Right of Humanity, which hails not the divine right of the government but rather the divine right of humanity to do what they wish. The state shall not seek interference in the matters of society rather the state shall let society evolve alone however religious values shall be praised by the state and religion shall be a virtue found within the national aristocracy.
The question of how the government will create a media, which is both truthful in word and honourable in intentions, is perhaps one of the hardest questions to tackle and this media, founded by the state however run by the people, must be treated with both respect and suspicion. It is quite easy to see in history how the media, who usually have an informative monopoly (another aspect of how monopolies eventually fail), has abused its rights by confusing the plebeians by thrusting spiteful lies and clever deceit skillfully down their throats however, a free media is a right which should never be stripped from them. The state will need a free media however it will need a free media that does not lie to sell and instead upholds a sense that it is an important factor in a free nation and that if it lies this factor becomes corrupt thus leading to the failure of the free nation it helped to create. A purge or any other cruel means could not control a media that knows no honour even if the state dared go to such tyrannical means rather a trust must be formed between the people, the media, and the state. This trust, which would work much like the Economic Triumvirate, should be mutual and it will prevent the honourable intentions of the media, the intention being to enlighten the people on the daily events unfolding around them, from slinging mud at the state for little reason. To inform the media on the actions of the state the government shall make public the minutes from every government meeting and after every Royal Council meeting the state shall also release an official statement that will summarize the meeting and what was accomplished during it; however the media will not be allowed to sit on government meetings so that the statesmen of the state may work in a peaceful environment in which they need not fear the unnecessary scrutiny of the media. No media organization will be purged or ever put on trial for the news that they spread, rather the state shall trust the media to be honourable in intention and truthful in action and hope that the media will respect the state, if this does not happen the state will ask the media organization in question to be truthful. If the media in question refused the government's demand further action shall be decided by the Royal Council.
