Ideological Guide - LIBERTARIANISM

This is a series of article describing diverse political ideological views that might be related and useful in this game. Every week(on Tuesday and Friday) i will publish 2 parts in this work.
This work was originally made by Demonaire and should be credited as such. This is a link to the original topic: https://forum.erepublik.com/index.php?/topic/4612-ideological-guide/

The present text looks to guide citizens in eRepublik (old or new) in choosing the political party that better adjust to his/her political intentions and goals, something important respecting party recruitment. Nevertheless, I repeat: this is only a guide, not the revealed truth.

Quote:

LIBERTARIANISM

eWiki Definition: Libertarianism is a term used by a spectrum of political philosophies which seek to promote individual liberty and seek to minimize or even abolish the state. The extent to which government may be necessary may be evaluated on ethical and/or economic grounds. "What it means to be a libertarian in a political sense is a contentious issue, especially among libertarians themselves. There is no single theory that can be reliably identified as the libertarian theory, and no single principle or set of principles on which all libertarians would agree."

Implementation in eRepublik

Democratic system.
Free-Market: bills are to be sent and approved that reducing all market taxation (Import Tax, VAT, Minimum Wage) near zero. Trade Embargo bill won't be used.
Night-Watchman State: state collection (through taxes and/or organizations) will be used to support military forces (state-owned or not) and diplomacy. It also will be used the bills of Mutual Protection Pact, Natural Enemy, Airstrike, Peace Proposal, Country Donation and Issue Money for those goals.
Private Education: Ministry of Education will remain vacant and new citizens welcome bill won't be used.
