Penumbrism (colloquialy referred to as "Ilbonese Capitalism") is a social, political, and economic ideology originating from the Agleian isle of Ilbon. Penumbrism was devised in the 1930's during the premiership of Nagano Toru as part of his initiative to create philosophies only applicable in Ilbon. Penumbrism has changed drastically since its founding. It was originally an economic philosophy meant to meet the needs of Nagano Toru's "National Defense State", a far-right concept based around mobilizing all parts of a nations economy in preparation for war. Later on, after the Deluge, Penumbrism became less popular among conservatives and gained followers among Ilbon's moderate left-wing parties. Amano Katsuro, the "Tiger of Oikage" and 8th Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Ilbon, sought to reform Penumbrism along reformist lines and made the philosophy much more than just one meant to help a country increase its war-time production. Penumbrism's core tenants underwent a drastic change, becoming more focused on general development as well as creating an economy that was diverse and benefited the general populace. In the modern day, Penumbrism enjoys a large following, especially among members of the ruling (BLANK) party.
Etymology
The term "Penumbrism" was coined during the 1932 Ilbon Industrial Expo, during which a late-night conference to decide the outcome of the expo was interrupted by a lone businessman noticing the particular color the Moon had that night. The other Executives in the room turned first to the lone businessman, and then to the Moon, inspiring them and leading to the conference members deciding that the ideas demonstrated during the Expo would all be combined and turned into a single philosophy; Penumbrism. A mystical connection between the effectiveness of the economy and the phases of the Moon has been proposed by Penumbrist theorists because of the philosophies origin.
