**Five Principles of Mankind** ---- | {{:wiki:kunlun.png?nolink&200|}} | ^ The flag of [[Kunlun]], commonly ascribed to the concept of the Five Principles of Mankind. ^ The **Five Principles of Mankind** (acronymized as the "FPM") is a novel ideology of [[Kunlun|Kunlunese]] origin that synthesizes the concept of [[spacer nationalism]] with that of the specific nation of Kunlun under the auspices of [[Labourism|Labourist]] and [[Prostasism|Prostasist]]-derived social and economic tenets to bolster the efficacy of the state. Created by [[Chen Chengyang]], the current Commissioner-in-Chief of the People's Collective and founder of the [[New Mankind Movement]], the Five Principles of Mankind declares the following essential tenets: **self-governance, self-sufficiency, self-possession, self-expansion** and **self-determination** for the human race (and fore-mostly the space colonies), without being tied down by the machinations of the human homeworld of [[Plateia]]. The FPM was formally promulgated in the government of Kunlun following the colony's liberation by [[Grensland]] from the [[Coalition of Congressional Nations]] in [[Operation Boswilger]], and the re-instatement of Chen as leader of the polity. The ideology is not considered to be "structural" in nature, as it is inherently a momentum-based and guiding revolutionary phenomenon spawned by Chen and the NMM as a means for the independence of Kunlun. Due to this reason, it does not establish a formal framework of government or economy, instead laying the foundations for future democratic governance (or otherwise) by the way of independent space nations. This has led to a frozen oligarchy being set upon Kunlun as Chen's rule becomes one of democratic promise and a familial-dictatorial reality. {{tag>ideology five_principles_of_mankind}}
