Municipalism
A world divided into independent city-states and microstates that compete like a market, with free secession, the right of exit and political experimentation, from the medieval free cities to Yarvin's "patchwork" and seasteading.

- Very strong · Federal
Niya Structure
Rationale
Our Municipalism definition includes “a world divided into independent city-states and microstates that compete like a market”. Territorial autonomy, confederation or jurisdictional competition bears directly on where public decisions reside.
- Leaning · Autocracy
Kaiser PMC General Representation
Rationale
Our Municipalism model centers on thousands of sovereign city-states competing for residents, with free secession, the right of exit and each city choosing its own laws. That core does not specify who can choose, replace and hold political decision-makers accountable. A social or economic objective does not by itself establish elections, popular sovereignty or an unelected ruling elite.
- Leaning · Liberty
Wakamo Power
Rationale
Our Municipalism model centers on thousands of sovereign city-states competing for residents, with free secession, the right of exit and each city choosing its own laws. That core does not specify the permissible use of public coercion versus protected personal autonomy. The form of government does not alone establish the extent of surveillance, repression or civil liberty.
- Leaning · Multiculturalism
Serina Immigration
Rationale
Our Municipalism model centers on thousands of sovereign city-states competing for residents, with free secession, the right of exit and each city choosing its own laws. That core does not specify minority membership, migration and the coexistence of cultural identities. Shared economic interests or a universal philosophical ethic do not alone specify immigration or cultural-integration policy.
- Leaning · Pacifist
Mari Diplomacy
Rationale
Our Municipalism model centers on thousands of sovereign city-states competing for residents, with free secession, the right of exit and each city choosing its own laws. That core does not specify the political role of organized armed force and acceptance of war. Domestic coercion, economic state intervention and national pride do not by themselves establish militarism or pacifism.
- Strong · Non-interventionist
Hina Intervention
Rationale
Corporate sovereignty, exit, jurisdictional competition or technological acceleration does not itself endorse foreign military projection. The retained coordinate models a chosen geopolitical variant; a rejection of democracy or an emphasis on profit is not independent evidence for aggression.
- Strong · Private
Kaiser President Economy
Rationale
Our Municipalism model centers on thousands of sovereign city-states competing for residents, with free secession, the right of exit and each city choosing its own laws. That core does not specify ownership of productive assets, land and enterprises. Welfare spending, moral solidarity and expert administration do not by themselves abolish or privatize productive ownership.
- Strong · Free market
Fuyu Control
Rationale
Our Municipalism definition includes “thousands of sovereign city-states competing for residents”. Decentralized exchange and competition bear on market coordination; they need not imply unrestricted private ownership.
- Strong · Globalism
Ritsu Trade
Rationale
Our Municipalism definition includes “a world divided into independent city-states and microstates that compete like a market”. Cross-border cooperation or networks supplies an international horizon; it does not by itself prescribe a trade treaty or tariff schedule.
- Balanced
Balanced Religion in governance
Rationale
Our Municipalism model centers on thousands of sovereign city-states competing for residents, with free secession, the right of exit and each city choosing its own laws. That core does not specify whether public rules and political authority are grounded in religious doctrine. Personal faith, atheism, religious identity and rejection of a state do not alone establish the source of public rules.
- Leaning · Progressive
Hanako Morality
Rationale
Our Municipalism model centers on thousands of sovereign city-states competing for residents, with free secession, the right of exit and each city choosing its own laws. That core does not specify public attitudes toward inherited customs, family, gender and social change. Economic redistribution, technological novelty and a religious affiliation do not uniquely determine every moral position.
- Strong · Technology
Rio Technology
Rationale
Our Municipalism model centers on thousands of sovereign city-states competing for residents, with free secession, the right of exit and each city choosing its own laws. That core does not specify the priority given to technological transformation versus ecological or bodily limits. Historical age, rural life and scientific reasoning do not by themselves establish acceptance or rejection of all technology.
