Liberal Imperialism. How many people have heard that before? Not many? That's probably because Liberal-Imperialist Governments are only in power currently in the Democratic Imperium of Praetonia and The Imperial Commonwealth of The Island of Rose. Why is this? you may ask. Well, the answer to that question is that no one really knows about it. Why is that? you may ask yet again, in an annoying fashion. Well, that is because I made it up. Not only did I make it up, but it doesn't toe the American or European Party Political line, and so it is not something that is easily duplicated by accident.
In this thread, I hope to shed some light on the founding principles of Liberal-Imperialism, persuade you of its worth and possibly even persuade you to RP opposition or governing Liberal-Imperialist parties in your nation. Here I shall give you a point-by-point run down of the main principles behind this party of contradictions:
• A Liberal-Imperialist believes in the sovereignty of the Liberal-Imperialist nation, and will often refuse to buy from another nation's arms manufacturers in favour of a home manufacturer, and will often refuse military bases.
• A Liberal-Imperialist believes that the Liberal-Imperialist philosophy is essentially correct, and should be spread abroad both to enhance the power of the Liberal-Imperialist state and allow Liberal-Imperialism to be accessible to other nations.
• A Liberal-Imperialist believes in the right of the people to choose their own government. This may seem a contradiction, but it is not. A Liberal-Imperialist nation will very, very rarely invade a free democracy, and generally only ever if said nation is a threat to the Liberal-Imperialist nation's national security.
• A Liberal-Imperialist believes in large personal freedoms, but strong penalties if they laws are disobeyed. A Liberal-Imperialist nation is, for example, likely to have legallised cannabis and little censorship, but in Praetonia rioters considered a danger to Parliament will be charged by cavalry.
• A Liberal-Imperialist believes in strong national armed forces. These are to be used both to project the power of the Liberal-Imperialist nation abroad, and defend it at home.
• A Liberal-Imperialist believes primarily in serving the national interests of the Liberal-Imperialist state. A Liberal-Imperialist will very rarely support a war of aggression unless he believes his nation has something to gain.
I'm rather tired, so I hope this all came out right. If you have any questions then feel free to ask.
