Anglo-Hyperfrisianism is the ideology of the fringe religious group the Daughters of Frya and to a lesser extent the Frisian Alliance that they are part of. It espouses for a matriarchical, pagan theocracy in the United Kingdom, in accordance to the "Oera Linda Book", a likely fabricated document from the 19th century describing the religious practices of a supposed grand Frisian civilisation which inhabited Atlantis.

Civic

All the reforms that the Daughters of Frya wish to implement, it claims, will be done through the scope of Acts of Parliament. The Anglican Church and its patriarchism is to lose its favoured status in the British government, making way for a all-female, pagan Order of Priestesses. Anglo-Hyperfrisianism wishes for the House of Lords to be entirely replaced by the 'House of Priestesses', which will take on the duties of not just the House of Lords but the Supreme Court. The 'Folk Mother', the highest of the class of priestesses, assumes the role of the monarch, and is also deemed the High Priestess of Middlesex. Her house of residence, in Middlesex, will be built over the to-be-demolished Buckingham Palace, shaped like a Yule wheel (the primary symbol of Anglo-Hyperfrisianism). The Folk Mother will choose her successor among the High Priestesses.

The basic building block of governance will be the Shires, administrative regions roughly corresponding to counties. Shires will compose of parishes, towns and cities. Each Shire shall elect 1 MP to the House of Commons per 100,000 people, or part thereof living in it, with a total of 717 MPs. Each Shire will also annually elect a High Sherrif, along with a 21-member Council. In the capital town/city of each Shire, a Citadel (religious building, residence of Priestesses) will be built to house an eternally burning flame.

Priesthood

Priestesses in Anglo-Hyperfrisianism will form the bulk of the governing, spiritual and moral leadership in British society. Every Shire will choose four 18-year old priestesses a year, chosen by physical competition. Upon appointment, Priestesses will reside in Citadels, wear nothing but a short tunic, worship 6 hours a day (in 3 hour shifts) in front of the Citadel's eternal flame, abstaining from sexual activity, meat products and intoxicants. Upon reaching 25, after serving 7 years in a Citadel, they will become Elder Priestesses, forming the judiciary of the UK. It is expected that after a transition period, as more already existing judge retire, the only judges in the UK will be Elder Priestesses. Elder Priestesses will also provide spiritual and moral counsel. There will be approximately 12,800 Elder Priestesses in the United Kingdom at any given time. After serving one year as an Elder Priestess, one may become a High Priestess by appointment by the Folk Mother.

Education

Primary education will remain unchanged. At the age of 11, all pupils will be sent to single-sex secondary schools, of which there are 4 types, Practical, Grammer, Technical and Creative. School will be compulsory until the age of 18.

Duty to the Collective

At the age of 18, women are required to join their Shire Police Force, and men their Shire Defense Force, both for a period of 7 years.

In addition to policing, women in these ages will also take up work in the NHS and as civil servants. Shire Police Forces are under the command of the High Priestesses and the Folk Mother.

Shire Defense Forces will comprise of land, air and sea personell. Young men will also take up work as firefighters, other emergency responders and civil servants. Shire Defense Forces are under the command of the shire's High Sherriff. Access to healthcare, welfare, and all other rights of citizenship are dependent on completing service. Approximately 6 million young people aged 18-25 will be in service at any given point, more than enough to carry out the functions and duty of the state, on a local and national level. Those in service will be payed no more than minimum wage appropriate for their age. Those in service may choose to stay in their job to pursue a proper, well-paid career.

Economic

Not much is known about Anglo-Frisianism's specific economic policy, though it does wish to aspire for self-sufficiency.

Foreign

Anglo-Hyperfrisianism denounces the existence of the Republic of Ireland, claiming it to be founded on meaningless sectarian lines. It seeks to 'peacefully' annex it into the United Kingdom once more. It also advocates a policy of strict neutrality, while maintaining friendly relations with Britain's traditional allies, and wishes to reverse recent damaging immigration policies.
