Symbol of Stâhlism (Valarisk Socialism)

Stâhlism or Valarisk Socialism is the dominant political philosophy of Valyrien that incorporates several Valarisk traditionalist ideals, which believe certain things, such as economic goods and power, should be vested in individuals on the basis of talent, effort, and achievement, rather than factors such as sexuality, gender, or wealth. Advancement in such a system is based on performance, as measured through examination or demonstrated achievement within the nations armed forces. Stâhlism require stratocracy, a form of government headed by military chiefs. It is not the same as a military dictatorship or military junta where the military's political power is not enforced or even supported by other laws. Rather, stratocracy is a form of military government in which civil and military service are difficult to distinguish, where the state and the military are traditionally or constitutionally the same entity, and that government positions are always occupied by commissioned officers and military leaders. Citizens have a mandatory military service, it is believed that only those willing to sacrifice their life on the state's behalf are fit to govern. What sets Stâhlism apart from other ideologies is that Stahl advocated for a return to the system of a monarch combined with the High Council similar to ancient Valyria instead of the round table style used by the previous regime.
