• Absoluteness — An archaic, rare, or regional form of the abstract noun 'absolutism' or 'absoluteness', found sporadically in early translations of philosophical and legal texts from the 18th and 19th centuries. Conceptually, the term denoted the state or quality of being sovereign, unconditioned, independent of any external relationship, or possessing a total moral and political authority that brooks no normative limitation.
• Autocrat — An early archaic form of the noun 'autocrat', used in Romanian medieval chronicles and royal chancellery documents under Byzantine influence. It designates an absolute monarch, an emperor, or a ruler with full power, unlimited by any external law or institution, governing by divine right.
• Anarcho-individualism — A school of thought within anarchism that emphasizes the absolute sovereignty of the individual, personal freedom, and the rejection of any form of forced collectivism, state authority, or institutional control. Unlike social-anarchist currents, this structural doctrine holds that the individual will and consciousness must not be subordinated to any group or majority decision, promoting private ownership of one's own resources and exclusively voluntary associations based on mutual interest.
• Annexation — The action of annexing or the result thereof; the forced or unilateral incorporation, annexation, or attachment of a foreign territory into the administrative and political structure of a state.

In a structural sense, it promotes national sovereignty, self-determination, and the full independence of nations.
• Defenders of independence — An historical and patriotic phrase designating the soldiers, political leaders, cultural figures, or citizens who sacrificed themselves or actively fought in the War of Independence (1877-1878) or other national liberation movements. This structural concept reflects the collective forces that guaranteed the sovereignty of the Romanian state against neighboring empires.
• Omnipotence — Absolute, unlimited, and universal power; the supreme capacity to accomplish anything without any physical, legal, or moral restriction; omnipotence. In theological dogma, it constitutes an exclusive divine attribute; in political philosophy, it describes the total concentration of state control within a single ruler or regime.
• To self-determine — To decide on one's own and independently one's destiny, political status, form of government, or path of economic, social, and cultural development, without any interference, pressure, or dictate from external forces or states. In psychology, it refers to an individual's action of making autonomous choices based on their own internal values and motivations.
• Self-determination — The act of self-determining and its result; a fundamental pillar of public international law proclaiming the freedom of a people to decide their own political and state organization. In cognitive psychology, it represents a theory of human motivation focused on the importance of autonomy, competence, and relatedness in personality development.
• To self-govern — To rule, administer, or govern oneself autonomously through one's own laws, institutions, and internal decisions, without being subjected to external administrative control or foreign political domination.

• Self-proclamation — The act of self-proclaiming and its result; a unilateral political or legal act through which an individual or community assigns themselves an official status, sovereign title, or state independence without the prior consent of a higher authority or the electorate.
