Schliefenism is an ideology that centers around a certain form of rule in government. In a practical sense, Schliefenism describes the nature of the state of the Prussian Empire as well as Hungary. In the Schliefenist state, government is distributed between two branches with the Executive Branch holding near-absolute power over the operation of the nation. In terms of the political compass, Schliefenism is considered a centrist-authoritarian ideology.
