The People’s Republic of Wintercrest was founded, and continues to exist, on the following ideals, which shall be the guiding principles in all endeavours of the government and people of Wintercrest:

1. The Will of the People is of utmost importance. Their Will shall be executed through:

   1. Regular elections, where every Office of Government shall be re-elected no fewer times than once per calendar year;

   2. The above shall be with the exception to Advisors, and the Chair of Presidential Security;

   3. Democratic representation in all offices, directly or indirectly, at all times;

   4. Transparent governance, where all Members of State shall be honour bound to give all people an insight into how the region is being ran at all times.
      

2. The Wellbeing of the people is also paramount to our continuation. It shall be:

   1. looked after, to the best of all ability;

   2. nurtured, by every reasonable means;

   3. expanded, to increasingly higher quality.
      

3. All people of all backgrounds shall feel valued and supported within our community and in turn remain respectful to their fellow members. There shall be no tolerance for fascists, racists, Nazi, or any bigoted persons who stand against any group of people for their race, origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, or other identity or status.

4. All leftists and progressives shall strive to fight all forms of fascism, harassment and hate throughout NationStates. It must be our highest pleasure to not only invade and occupy, but ultimately rid the NationStates community of regions labelling themselves as fascist and Nazi. These same principles must also apply to regions which engage in blatant sexism, homophobia, transphobia, religious intolerance, and other hateful ideologies and practices.

5. Our region must always be vigilant, both domestically and inter-regionally, in searching for errors in policy and actions and be ready to adapt to meet new problems. Above all, we should always seek to progress and improve our great People’s Republic.

6. Our region must maintain its right to self determination and always have the flexibility to meet new problems through the will of the people only. Any foreign power attempting to influence or dictate policy to us is not acceptable and should be publicly addressed and condemned.

2. Liberty of Speech: The liberty to have one's voice heard on any matter publicly as well granting the freedom to express one's views and beliefs in a civil and legal manner without the fear of discrimination or retaliation;

3. Liberty to Vote: The liberty to vote as one is naturally inclined without coercion in any election or any referendum they are so entitled to vote in;

4. Liberty to Join: The liberty to join and leave the People’s Republic freely unless duly convicted of a crime in a court of law as well as the liberty to join or create associations, parties, or other groups or clubs;

5. Liberty to Justice: The liberty to be tried in a fair, impartial, speedy, and public court of law for any action of the government of the People’s Republic that would deprive a nation or person of their liberties as well as the liberty to appeal any decision and not be tried more than once for a single offence.
