Well, yes, but I would also argue that the US democracy, UK, France etc all have a democratic system which works better than Rome did, since they don't divide people into Plebians and Patricians. But hey, I'm not an expert in Roman history. Good luck.

True.I got some ideas from the roman republik. And the roman republick did work for about five hundred years (until Ceasar came...)! This is longer then any active democracy in the world (France, US, ...)!

And thanks for the compliments!

I'm impressed. Reminds me a lot of the Roman Republic, which worked as a concept- I hope yours just works :D

Hello,

I want to inform you on the foundation of the Southern League of Free Cities and Teritories.

We are a group of people that do not want to be part of a aristocratic or authoritarian alliance. We are players who do not want to be in an alliance where only a few huge players make the decisions while small players are not even informed about the situation. Thus we decided to form some kind of democratically organised alliance. We will base our decisions on a participatory and representative system. We are looking for large or small players that are interested in joining!

So far we are in the process of founding this alliance. Currently we do have some Dictators and everyone that joins and participates in the debate on the Convent of the Southern League of Free Cities (=some kind of constitution) can be named Dictator!

If you would like to join as member and if you are interested in participating in the creation of the Convent, please feel free to do so. Just contact a Dictator or any other member.

Below you will find a short description on the structure of the alliance when the Convent is accepted (however, some things might change. If you like to have more information (also a graphical introduction), please have a look on the alliance profile and the public forum.

In any case we are interested in good relations with our neighbours and other alliances!

Best wishes for the future,

Janosch




Introduction to the Southern League of Free Cities and Territories:

The Convent of the Southern League of Free Cities is a contract between the League Members. If you are new in our alliance, you will usually start as Associated Member. You can observe and learn about our alliance in order to apply for membership, if you desire. And (if you need it) you have some time to grow and learn about Illyriad. You are however protected by the alliance and we can send you ressources.

There are some administrative bodies and positions you should know about.

If you apply for membership, you may become a League Member and thus a member of the General Assembly. Every Member of the Southern League should participate in the political process through the General Assembly. The General Assembly is the sovereign and has powerful political instruments. However its decisions take time. In order to protect the interest and the governability of the League some decisions can not immediately (or not at all) be influence by the General Assembly. The General Assembly is chaired by the General Representative.

The General Assembly elects two Consuls among the members of the Senate and the High Council. They are something like a President of the League. (Consuls where the highest posts in the Roman Republic before Caesar became Dictator for life.) The consuls should not rule from above but justly and fairly moderate the political discourse. However, if quick decisions must be made the Consuls and the High Council must act! They are responsible for the functioning of the political system.

The Consuls chair the High Council. The High Council consists of the Consuls, the general Representative, the President of Senate and the Minister of War. The High Council serves as some kind of Government. Most members are elected and only the Minister of War is appointed by the Consuls. The High Council has powerful political instruments and acts much quicker then the General Assembly.

League Members that are active and participate in the the League and continue to grow can be elected Senator. The Senate consists of trustworthy and honourable league members that are named Senators for live. The Senate controls the Consuls and the High Council. It is chaired by the President of Senate. The Senate speaks justice in case of crime or political conflict.


StarUpdate:


1. We have renamed our alliance to the Old Republic [Rep]!

2. You do not need to be located in the south/alliance focus is moved to all of Illyriad, in order to attract more members.

3. We are currently voting on the founding document of our alliance in our new forum (that has included polls).


This Republic is not only interesting for small players (that have the benefit of being included and informed on all decisions), but also for larger, more active and experienced players (since 1. we have the Senate, that is particularly attractive for larger players and 2. it offers an excellent perspective to exchange information/thoughts/strategies/foreign affairs and all other important issues of Illyriad, in an active and friendly community). We are urgently looking for active players, that have at the moment excellent opportunities to be elected in high offices.
