is the political system practiced by the Peasants' Republics what is now mostly north-western Germany, most prominently in Frisia.
The system was a reaction to
Feudalism and a rejection thereof, instead placing the power in the hands of
peasants. Sometimes a
oligarchical system developed where a few families held power in the state and were the only ones allowed to vote (such as in
Dithmarschen), other times the societies were more
direct-democratic and communal in nature.
A constant however was that the peasants
owned the land they worked and had to pay little or no taxes.
Beliefs
[edit]Peasants' Republicanism is strongly
Anti-Feudal and believes that all peasants should be free from it.
Some peasants' republics, like
Dithmarschen, were
oligarchical in nature and were politically ruled by a very few wealthy families. Others, like in the
Free Frisian Lands, were mostly
communal and, according to some,
direct-democratic to even
anarchistic in nature.
Personality and Behavior

Feudalism and is sad to see other peasants suffer under it. It's best friend is
