The term [[National Functionalism#Contemporary Functionalism|neo-Functionalist]] emerged following the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] to describe groups emulating the Functionalist ideology. National Functionalism arose in [[Gaullica]]n militaristic political circles in the late 19th century, following the [[War of the Triple Alliance]]. Gaullican defeat in the war, the loss of traditional territories such as [[Kesselbourg]] and [[Hennehouwe]] and the fragmentation of traditional allies in [[Soravia]] and [[Valduvia]] left the nation diplomatically isolated and fueled {{wp|revanchist}} sentiment. The tenets of the ideology can be traced to Gaëtan de Trintignant, a Gaullican Field Marshal who wrote numerous political treatises demanding a rejection of the modernity typified by the constitutional amendments that had whittled the power of the Gaullican monarchy following the Age of Revolutions. In two political works, de Trintignant outlined his beliefs on the necessity of a strong central authority, a rejection of both ''{{wp|laissez-faire}}'' {{wp|capitalism}} and international {{wp|socialism}}, a strong sense of social cohesion underpinned by a civic national identity and the establishment of the means to spread this identity. Inspired by the growing field of {{wp|sociology}}, de Trintignant viewed the state as a parallel to the human body, with a healthly state achieved when each part was working in concert. There is some debate regarding whether National Functionalism is an ideology specific to Gaullican political development, or if it has had wider influence. In the modern day, National Functionalism has experienced a sharp decline. The ideology was officially outlawed in Gaullica as a threat to constitutional order following the Great War and its proponents were targeted by DENAT as part of the {{wp|Denazification|defunctionalisation}} of the country. Modern neo-Functionalists are a fringe movement in [[Euclea]]n politics. Nevertheless, in the context of nationalist groups like the Etrurian [[Tribune Movement]] and Paretian [[O Povo]], Functionalist has re-entered political discourse as a pejorative term for members of those parties.
