Ideology

Ideologies determine what stance an interest group or political movement has on various laws. Each interest group has a set three or four standard ideologies. Political movements each have a single ideology. In certain circumstances, interest groups may also have other ideologies in addition or instead of these standard ideologies. Characters also have their own ideology, and the ideology of an interest group's leader influences that group's stances.

Standard ideologies[edit | edit source]

Below is the list of all standard ideologies found in interest groups. An ideology's stance towards all laws is neutral except where noted.

Non-starting ideologies[edit | edit source]

The following ideologies – except Pro-Slavery – are not present at the start of the game, but are standard for certain interest groups given certain conditions.

• Corporatist ideology replaces Pious for the  Devout when Corporatism is researched.^[1]
• Egalitarian and Liberal ideologies gain new stances on the Rights of Women laws when Feminism is researched.^[2]
• Pro-Slavery ideology is added to the  Landowners if slavery of any kind is enacted, and it is removed from all interest groups some time after it is banned.^[3]
• Socialist ideology is added to the  Trade Unions when Socialism is researched.^[4]

Leader ideologies[edit | edit source]

All characters have an individual ideology. When a character leads an interest group, this ideology adds to – and may override – that interest group's default stances. The  ruler's ideology also provides support or opposition to law changes.

Movement ideologies[edit | edit source]

Each type of movement has an ideology which determines its goals. Most movement ideologies are similar or identical to a regular interest group or character ideology.

Event ideologies[edit | edit source]

Event ideologies come into effect due to a journal entry or event chain. Some event chains add or remove standard ideologies from interest groups that normally would not have that ideology.

Call for Women's Suffrage

This journal entry can begin after researching Feminism and Political Agitation. When completed, it has an option to add the Feminist ideology to the  Intelligentsia, or replace Patriarchal ideology with Modern Patriarchal on a random interest group, depending on which interest groups are in government at that time.

Ideology	Law group	Strongly disapprove	Disapprove	Neutral	Approve	Collapse Strongly approve
Feminist	Rights of Women	Legal Guardianship		Propertied Women	Women in the Workplace	Women's Suffrage
Modern Patriarchal	Free Speech		Protected Speech	Right of Assembly	Censorship	Outlawed Dissent
	Rights of Women			Propertied Women Women in the Workplace Women's Suffrage	Legal Guardianship

Populist Unrest

Available only with the Colossus of the South DLC enabled.

This journal entry can activate for Brazil after researching Political Agitation, along with other conditions. When it activates, it triggers an event that replaces the Reactionary ideology with Modernizer for the  Petite Bourgeoisie. The Petite Bourgeoisie in South Asian countries and East India start with Modernizer instead of Reactionary.

Ideology	Law group	Strongly disapprove	Disapprove	Neutral	Approve	Collapse Strongly approve
Modernizer	Economic System	Traditionalism Extraction Economy Industry Banned	Cooperative Ownership Agrarianism	Command Economy Laissez-Faire	Interventionism
	Trade Policy	Isolationism	Mercantilism	Free Trade	Protectionism
	Children's Rights		Child Labor Allowed	Restricted Child Labor	Compulsory Primary School

Stamp Out Monarchism

This journal entry starts when replacing a Monarchy with a Presidential Republic, Parliamentary Republic, or Council Republic. When completed, it has the option to replace all of Paternalistic, Scholar-Gentry, Junker, and Baronial ideologies with Elitist for the  Landowners. A similar event may occur for Brazil while the journal entry Magnanimous Monarch is active. The Landowners in a number of countries in the Americas start with Elitist instead of Paternalistic.

Ideology	Law group	Strongly disapprove	Disapprove	Neutral	Approve	Collapse Strongly approve
Elitist	Governance Principles		Council Republic	Corporate State Monarchy	Parliamentary Republic Theocracy Presidential Republic
	Distribution of Power	Anarchy Technocracy Universal Suffrage	Census Suffrage	Single-Party State Wealth Voting	Autocracy	Landed Voting Oligarchy

	Policing		No Police	Dedicated Police Force Militarized Police Force	Local Police Force

The Age of Caudillos

Completing this journal entry removes the Caudillismo from the  Armed Forces.

The Matter of Slavery

Available only with the Colossus of the South DLC enabled.

If Brazil fails this journal entry, the  Rural Folk gain the Pro-Slavery ideology.

The Modern Oligarchy

Available only with the Colossus of the South DLC enabled.

This event can occur for Brazil during or after the journal entry The Positive Stage after reaching 50 Positivist influence. It replaces the Stratocratic ideology with Oligarchic for the  Landowners. A similar event occurs if Brazil fails the journal entry Magnanimous Monarch.

Ideology	Law group	Strongly disapprove	Disapprove	Neutral	Approve	Collapse Strongly approve
Oligarchic	Land Reform	Homesteading Collectivized Agriculture			Serfdom Commercialized Agriculture	Tenant Farmers
	Education System		Religious Schools	No Schools	Public Schools Private Schools

	Welfare		Wage Subsidies Old Age Pension	Poor Laws	No Social Security
	Taxation	Graduated Taxation	Proportional Taxation	Per-Capita Taxation	Consumption-Based Taxation Land-Based Taxation

The Nihilist Movement

While this journal entry is active, an interest group besides the  Intelligentsia with an Anarchist, Communist, or Vanguardist leader may gain the Anti-Clerical ideology.

The Red Army

This event can occur while the Council Republic law has been enacted. If the  Armed Forces are in government while their leader has the Communist or Vanguardist ideology, the Loyalist ideology is replaced with Proletarian. Additionally, the  Armed Forces are renamed to the Red Army.
