The Three Goals of the People (Hoterallian: 人々の三つの目標, Hitobito no mittsu no mokuhyō; also translated as The Three Goals, People's Doctrine, or Trigoalism[16]) is a political philosophy developed collectively by many Hoterallian as part of a philosophy to improve Hoterallia. The three principles are often translated into and summarized as Strength (Gōgō), Prosperity (Hanjō), and Virtue (Zentoku). This philosophy has been claimed as the cornerstone of Hoterallian policy as carried by the people; the goals are also on the National Seal of The Second Empire of Hoterallia and the national motto.
Origins
The real origin of The Three Goals isn't exactly known as the three goals were created collectively by three different people before being officially united and fully developed by Mitsuo Kuwahara, who then applied it to the 1950 National Act.[17]
The ideology is said to be heavily influenced by the three founders' experiences during the shaping of post-modern and contemporary Hoterallia and contains elements of the Hoterallian nationalist, progressive and conservative movement.[18]
The Goals
Gōgō or Strength of The People
The Goal of Gōgō (剛強の目標, Gōgō no mokuhyō) is commonly rendered as "Strength", literally "Firmness" or "strength built the People". "Gōgō/Strength" clearly describes a nation that should be protected by the people, with the strength of every citizen. To achieve this, Viscount Keizō Kita, the founder of The Goal of Gōgō, believed that Hoterallia must develop an "Army that vows to protect the people, formed by the people...". To achieve this, he believed that Hoterallia must develop a "national consciousness" to unite the Hoterallian people in the face of foreign aggression.[19][20]
Mitsuo Kuwahara later modified the goal to better fit the new military doctrine of Hoterallia after the Second Reunification War. In the 1950 National Act, he wrote that the Hoterallian National Armed Force, later The Hoterallia Self-Defense Forces, "...should be a military force that aims to upkeep peace and protect the Imperial Sovereignty."[17]
The original idea for the goal was from a speech that Keizō Kita made in front of The Army War College in 1890:[21]
What's good for an army that has no reason to fight for? An army that has a leader with no clear intention? An army like that will surely lose only at the sight of the enemy! The Hoterallian spirits did not form you into heartless, brainless, gun-wielding soldiers, it formed you into warriors that are tasked to protect you, your family, and your home, the Imperial Land. Your tasks are to fight for the people because you are those people, you fight for yourselves, you fight for the defenseless, you fight in the name of the people of Hoterallia because that is your task...
His speech was later printed and distributed to the mass populace, which greatly boosted his popularity, and later helped him to become The Chief of the Imperial Hoterallian Army General Staff Office.[21] Mitsuo Kuwahara, using the same speech, applied to the 1950 National Act by writing:[17]
The purpose of the Hoterallian army is not to invade nor to expand the Empire territory, but to protect the Empire's sovereignty. As the army is made up of the people, their mission is to protect the people, not to protect the Imperial Land claims on foreign lands...
Hanjō or Prosperity of The People
The Goal of Prosperity (繁盛の目標, Hanjō no mokuhyō)
Zentoku or Virtue of The People
The Goal of Virtue (善徳の目標, Zentoku no mokuhyō)
Canon
The most definite (canonical) exposition of these goals was the 1950 National Act, with Mitsuo Kuwahara being one of the co-writers. Mitsuo Kuwahara has long been moderate in Hoterallian politics, aiming to somehow adapt progressivist and pacifist ideas into the Hoterallian constitution after the Second Reunification War. He was lucky enough to be a part of the team which would craft both the 1950 National Act and the new constitution for Hoterallia. He was an avid reader and historian, so armed with his knowledge, he draft the 1950 National Act with The Three Goals that he reorganized himself to fit with the post-modern Hoterallian situation.[17]
The Three Goals is considered to be a success as it perfectly merged into Hoterallian culture and traditions with its long history of unstable political stances, the Empire now had a base for political factions to build on. Many modern Hoterallian political factions are built on The Three Goals as structures. Not only in politics, economic and social structures were also merged with The Three Goals, as the people see them as goals in life that all Hoterallian should aim to achieve.[17]
