Universal Monarchism

From Polcompball Wiki

Universal Monarchy is a theoretical system of governance in which a single monarch rules over the planet, whether absolute or constitutional. As such universal monarchy can be identified as an ideology that is globalist in nature, at least in outcome.

History and Examples

Ever since even the concept of Empire and rulership, there were cases of great monarchs who with their might and wealth have claimed domain over the entire known world with the first examples being in mesopotamia, Sargon of Akkad claimed the title of King of the Totality/King of the Universe. It may thus be considered one of the most ancient variants of monarchy.

The concept itself has heavy religious undertones, be it with the concept of the God-King from the ancient eras, all forms of divine right to rule or conquer.

Ancient Mesopotamia

Persia

Rome

Mongol Empire

The Franks and the Holy Roman Empire

Personality

He loves talking about geopolitics & historical empires from the past as such he wants to imitate them by expanding his empire into what is known as the "universal monarchy" used to civilize what he sees as savage or technologically backward nations. He fears that trends of ethnolinguistic nationalism could lead to civil war in his colonies & the fall of his empire.

He sees the nature of empires and politics and the world as all a giant game that will end once someone holds the entire world, something that the development of technology has made increasingly a possibility. As he believes that someone should be him, he is naturally extremely ambitious and imperialist.

A lot of justification behind his goals lies in a religious perspective: divine right, the chosen empire, etc. so should he be depicted as such.

How to Draw

 
Flag of Universal Monarchism

Universal Monarchism's designs are based on a flag that the Reddit user u/CenturioFabio made to represent a pan-monarchist movement which he posted on r/monarchism under the title "My Take on a Pan-Monarchist Flag".

  1. Draw a ball with eyes and fill it purple.
  2. In the middle draw a gold fleur-de-lis (⚜).
  3. Around the fleur-de-lis draw a golden wreath.
  4. Draw a crown with red jewels on top of the ball.
  5. You're done.

Relations

International loyalists

  •   Monarchism - ONE EMPIRE, ONE EMPEROR, ONE EARTH!
  •   Imperialism - I shall not stop until all continents and oceans are my domain! Am I not your ultimate goal? Some of you are too republican and ethnocentric.
  •   Caesarism - While Caesar wasn't a Monarch or universalist himself, all succeeding Emperors made Rome one of THE greatest of Empires destined to rule the world. Unfortunately this   nationalist moron tried to claim your legacy, created a republic in 1943, and failed miserably.
  •   Byzantine Model - Justinian is my favorite of your emperors, and I really like your slogan.
  •   Pan-Nationalism - You're good for initial imperial momentum, uniting the immediate nations of say the Germans, Britons, Slavs, Franks and such.
  •   Interculturalism and   Multiculturalism - Now that's how we can unify our imperium culturally.
  •   Alexander the Great - Excellent!
  •   Zoroastrian Theocracy - Cyrus the Great was, in fact, Great!
  •   Integralism - I am your Katechon, I am the second sword the Lord has given Man to protect the faithful.
  •   Aurelian - ...thank you for saving me, Restitutor Orbis.
  •   Habsburgism - A.E.I.O.U.
  •   Khanism - He is LITERALLY me: Genghis Khan means Universal Ruler. You also created the BEST empire in all of history (The Brits build a bigger one, but you're still better because you're not racist).

Frenemies

  •   Roman Republicanism - You are the predecessor to one of the greatest of Empires, but why do   your supporters hate expansionism? And why do you hate kings?
  •   Fourth Theory - You have some neat ideas regarding the nature of civilizations, Rome, Genghis Khan and so forth, but you're not explicitly a Monarchist and multipolarism goes against global unity, I don't anything close to the division of Rome.
  •   Feudalism - Way back in the past we worked together in the HRE but it ended up causing border gore.
  •   World Federalism - I am not sure if you intend on keeping me around. And you don't support my absolutist tendencies either.
  •   Third Way - Trudeau and Blair technically support both monarchy and globalization. Still, you're too limited and not dedicated enough as you support the King only as a figurehead (not even a global one) and you limit yourself to economic globalism. But   pan-Anglicist cooperation between the states in personal union is a good stepping stone (see above).
  •   Showa Statism - That Hakkō Ichiu some of your fans follow is kinda based, but you are still too nationalist. OK, maybe the house of Yamato could be a potential candidate for an international ruling dynasty, but its supporters need to throw fascism in the trash.
  •   Globalism - What's different between you and me, is that you're unorganized, mostly economic, and have few long-term goals. While I believe that eventually, some institution will conquer the world, I intend for that to be me, making it last indefinitely and making something of the power that comes with it.
  •   Catholic Theocracy - You hold dominion over 1.3 billion people, but you directly control only a   tiny piece of land.

Republicans and tribalists

  •   Nationalism - You make my life much harder.
  •   Ultranationalism - Oh, come one, just euthanize yourself already so that my world doesn't have to deal with your tribalist madness.
  •   Irredentism and   Jingoism - After all you've done to the people of my planet, you deserve nothing more than a painful death.
  •   Republicanism - Republican scum!
  •   Separatism - Stop rioting or go to jail for secession!
  •   Tribalism - Primitives ripe for civilizing!
  •   Optimateism - You are the worst: republican, anti-expansion, and against integration of our subjects. YOU'RE ALL GETTING PROSCRIBED!
  •   Trotskyism - World communism and permanent revolution? My ass! The Imperial Army is going to squash you!
  •   Patchwork - LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID TO THE HRE, WHY YOU IMPUDENT BURGHER BASTARD! THESE BORDERS MAKE MY EYES BLEED!
  •   Monarcho-Fascism - Brother, you are on the wrong path, even if you're not as bad as   that moron. Why rule a single nation when you can rule the planet?
  •   Tridemism,   Arab Socialism and   Kemalism - Republican and nationalist? Looks like you will be my next victims.
  •   Khomeinism - While you may not be a Nationalist, I cannot forget what you did in 1979!
  •   Lee Kuan Yew Thought - Patchworky republican who split his city-state from a monarchy. *vomits* you're the worst. What do you mean you didn't actually want to separate? And at least you opposed Ketuanan Melayu (the very reason you got kicked out) and supported interculturalism.

  1. All Monarchs in history who proclaimed themselves king of kings or anything of the sort were always based on some interpretation of the divine right of kings: The monarch may be the incarnation of a deity (Ancient Mesopotamia), anointed by God to rule Christendom, were granted all under the blue sky to rule by the might of Tengri and so forth. The concept is almost always inherently religious.
