Crovanism, also termed Crovanic democracy, is a Nordanoconitian political philosophy based on the writings and policies of Field Marshal Godfred Crovan, who served as President of the Ambrosian Confederal Republic from 1858 to his death in 1865. Doctrinally it is characterized by a democratic framework maintained through military support, with emphasis on populist, progressive social policies and centralized authority rooted in a charismatic leader. Crovanists may also hold interventionist outlooks in foreign policy, though this is less universally prevalent.
The movement has been a major player in Ambrosian politics since the mid-19th century. Today, the Conservative Party of Ambrose officially considers Crovanism a central tenet of their ideology; other major parties such as the Reform and Union Labor Parties espouse various aspects of Crovanism to differing degrees. In other Nordanian countries, particularly Sjealand and other NOSDO member-states, the movement is highly controversial due to its association with Ambrosian imperialism; however it enjoys limited mainstream popularity in Cradebetia and Swastria.
Crovanism has been the subject of both praise and criticism from political thinkers across the spectrum. Adherents claim to be the heirs of an evolved democratic tradition that began with the Ambrosian Revolution; indeed, during the Great War of the North Crovan characterized his regime as a bastion of democracy, standing against the autocratic monarchies of Nordania. Critics, however, contend that the ideology rejects the classical liberalism central to the revolution, and instead label it as a form of managed republicanism; Charles-Jérôme Persigny called it "an erosion of liberal democracy by martial rule", while Jigór Małinowski labelled it "a demagogic charade [perverting] popular sovereignty by masking reactionary anocracy with half-hearted reforms and pretensions."
Prominent modern-day Crovanists include John Frederick Cleburne, incumbent President of Ambrose, and Agueybana Humacao of Capantan.
