*Skolnost is the belief that the nation should reflect culture, and is generally translated as Tendency, or Propensity. In the purely political sense, it means that the nation should not shy away from comprehensively and even radically embracing its own culture. In the economic context, it means that regulations should reflect appreciation for traditional crafts and traditions. Because Skolnost is used in the context of Novzhenovian society, it can mean many things in the social context, and social skolnost in general varies dependent on the region.
**Pillarisation in Novzhenovia is the politics system that involves different factions of the nation in the governance system. Instead of a government made from the people, the pillarised government involves the six pillars of Novzhenovian society:
- Alyonist institutions (Alyonism is the environmental/shamanist religion)
- The Popular Pillar (individual voters)
- The Pillar of the Peoples (cultural groups of the country)
- The Workers' Pillar (the labor unions)
- The Pillar of Education (the Novzhenovian Academies of Sciences and the Governor of the Commonwealth Institute of Colleges and Universities)
- The People's Army (Public service workers in the traditional areas of infrastructures, public parks, public beautification, healthcare, and the housing brigade).
Through pillarisation, these six pillars have representation in the government, and for this reason, not all representatives are elected by the people. This system has created unequal representation, whereby some people may have multiple votes, and others may have only one. For instance, a member of the People's Army will have votes through their local constituencies (Popular pillar), the People's Army, through the Pillar of Education (at least one, possibly one dependent on their level of education), and the Pillar of the Peoples, dependent on their cultural group. Additionally, some pillars are partisan and give way to political parties (The Popular Pillar and some of the democratically elected Pillar of Education alumni constituencies), and some pillars are non-partisan, like the Pillar of Education, the Workers' Pillar, and the People's Army. These representatives have no political affiliations, and for this reason,
***Segmentarianism: Segmentarianism is the idea that regions of the nation may have obstacles to free interaction between them, for the preservation of culture and spirit. Traditionally, segmentarianism has been linked to Alyonism, and the idea that land is sacred and has its own rights. For example, the most ancient segmentarianist policy is that only Alyonists should be allowed to the Alyona Mountains. Today, the Alyona Region requires registration to the Alyonist Registry. In the economic sense, segmentarianism is the idea that regions of Nozhenovia should be able to have their own economic policies and systems, and is split into two beliefs: Insular segmentarianism, which advocates the econo-regulatory and fiscal separation of the regions; and Common segmentarianism, which advocates the Econo-regulatory but not fiscal separation of the regions. Socially, segmentarianism is the idea that civil/social laws should not be national, and instead should be delegated to the regions, and allowed to vary between regions. It is split into three mainstream beliefs: Absolute Segmentarianism allows for absolute variation in civil/social laws between regions, Constitutional Segmentarianism prescribes judicial oversight over civil/social legal variation between regions to ensure egalitarianism, and Centralized Segmentarianism subscribes to limiting variation in civil/social laws between regions to areas not covered by the work of the Senates General (a movement towards segmentarianism overseen by the national community). Civil segmentarianism refers to the aspects of civil society (the press, arts, music, etc.), while social segmentarianism refers to the aspects of society concerning interpersonal institutions (marriage, family life, etc.). Political parties usually have separate civil an social segmentarianist positions. Democratic segmentarianism is an approach to segmentarianism that sees direct-democracy as the only grounds for segmentarianism.
