My alliance has a bit of a funny history. (Please check out my article on Wikia by clicking here.) We went from a democratic republic (inspired after the United States of North America) or otherwise known as representational democracy or just plain old (misleading) democracy. Soon, I realized that that system of government sucked (as obvious with the decay/corruption of the American government too). No one would vote for me. So, my ingenius self, I dissolved the "Celestial Republic" and I installed the "Golden Empire" with myself as the Emperor and Mr. Bank as the Supreme Chancellor. I also established a joint Imperial Senate (formerly the High Council) and the Grand Council, as to make the system more efficient/timely and more interactive with the rest of the community. Then we got destroyed by Generations (and Blue Anders and his mate Vn70072), but an old mate of mine revived the alliance and renamed it the Luminoth, which also was destroyed by Generations, so then I re-created it and now we're the Soviet Reunion.
Feel free to share your own experiments with political systems. I've found that in history that democracies fail because the people are dumb (Socrates criticised it to). Republics are awful because it's a popularity contest and you have to pretend to be "one of them". Bureaucracies are a pain and are the least bit time-efficient. Anarchies are misunderstood; the main principle is that the people rule themselves without rules to tell them to do so.
So, which form of government would your alliance identify with?
A helpful guide for everyone:
- Anarchism - the belief that the rulership is unnecessary and should be abolished.
Direct democracy (pure democracy) - sovereignty lodged in the assembly of all citizens who choose to participate.
Representative democracy - popular sovereignty by the people's representatives.
Dictatorship - an autocratic form of government in which the government is ruled by a dictator.
Empire - an entity ruled from a single center, such as a senate, council, or advisoring committee.
Oligarchy - political power effectively rests with a small, elite segment of society (whether distinguished by wealth, family or military prowess).
Plutocracy - state's power is centralized in an affluent (rich) social class.
Republic - sovereignty based on popular consent and governance based on popular representation and control.
Other - any that weren't mentioned.
Re-voting permitted.
