Sisucracy

Sisucracy (from the Finnish concept of ) is a form of social democracy in Arola which is derived from the Nordic model. Its principles mostly revolve around a welfare state with most industry sectors being privatised, except for public sectors such as education and healthcare which are under state ownership and are subsidised by the government. The model is also less dependent on meritocracy and thus less pressure and competition and has a tough stance towards corruption and a number of liberal policies present in Europe such as drug abuse.

The term was coined by Prime Minister Daavid Isotalo in April 2023, but such policies have already been in place in Arola since the turn of the 21st century. Most experts have praised the model for bridging the gap between meritocracy and aristocracy, but some have criticised it for being idealistic and being over-reliant on utilitarianism rather than the capabilities of the government.

 * Reduce competition in schools and the workforce so as to lower pressure and to prevent most people from being deemed a failure.
