Socio-Libertarianism
Socio-Libertarianism, also known as Bi-Part Libertarianism or Economic Free Socialism, not to be confused with Libertarian Socialism, is a political ideology in effect in Kelonian States. It is a two-layer mix of Socialism and Libertarianism. The first layer, concerning the people of the state, is an adaptive form of Libertarianism with very little taxation or restrictions on what people can do, provided they don't restrict the liberty of others - the laws against minor crimes are either lenient or rehabilitative, while violent, anti-social or major crimes carry serious penalties, including the death sentence; It is believed that someone who has not learned the way of learning to respect other peoples' liberty does not have a right to theirs, and someone who has proved themselves incapable of learning does not have the right to restrict people's freedom, even in such a minor way as the tax citizens pay to the upkeep of prisoners.
The second layer, concerning industry, is closer to Socialism, with nationalisation of core industries being a cornerstone of the theory - large corporations are closely watched and heavily taxed, and the government takes a special interest in curbing the ability of big businesses to infringe into too many elements of people's lives. In Kelonia, for example, the Turvic Corporation was subject to a crackdown where at-cost contracts were given out by the government to other companies purely to raise their profiles and to lessen that of Turvic itself. All industries directly related to public-neccessity services are socialized to avoid public dependance on corporations, while police numbers are high but operate with restricted powers. This two-layer system developed out of the Socialist ideologies held by many of the revolutionary factions that overthrew the Royalist regime in the Kelonian War of Succession combined with the people's desire to cast off the overly oppressive rules enforced by the Royalists. Due to their role in bringing the first layer of the theory into being, this theory is also referred to as Gamolt-Romaninko Free Socialism after Gen. (now Premier) Maksim Romaninko and Lt. Col. Dimitri Gamolt.
Some of the socio-libertarian ideology is evident in Kaze Progressa, though the highly pluralist and divided nature of the political system here means that there is no powerful ideological consensus.
