Aristocracy is commonplace in my world, though there are perhaps one or two exceptions. The majority of villages are governed by either a noble or religious figurehead; he or she in turn reports to the aristo overseeing that particular district of land, and any important information is passed on to the throne

[VOICED FOREVER and a dinosaur]

[yoctograms]

Government is garbage. CRUNCH. I'll add that to the heap.

[Voiced, and you have a thing with dinosaurs dude.]

[halgitamilf]

What makes you say that?

[Voiced, and I love me those dinosaurs.]

[yoctograms]

lim(regulation) on creativity? Zetta lame.

[Voiced, but what about like...wooly mammoths?]

[halgitamilf]

I suppose with regulations and laws in place, that does limit the freedom a citizen may have. With so many capable people among us, there really is no need for a central force to provide protection, either.

Well... Hazelrink is ruled by my dad, but he has a parliament too.

[halgitamilf]

Ah, you are of royal descent?

[hazelrink]

Oh, I gave that away, didn't I?! [/DERP] Yes, I'm a princess.

But more importantly, I'm Charlotte. Charlotte Hazelrink.

[halgitamilf]

A pleasure to meet you, Lady Charlotte. I am Svala.

As if a government could last here, ever since we lost our dear mayor.

[mydearapple]

And how devastating a loss that must have been.

[compos_mentis]

Quite. And then they saw fit to add insult to injury; I might never recover.

[mydearapple]

Absolutely terrible.

[esper_flight]

So far, I haven't encountered problems...but I haven't been here long enough to see how chaotic Luceti becomes during experiments or other trying times.

[halgitamilf]

Fairly disorganized, from what I've seen. Though certain individuals tend to make efforts to keep calm and several groups come together to put for their own effort. It is not rigid in the least, but perhaps that is what makes that system so very successful.

[esper_flight]

That's a good point. In a place like this, I'm not sure rigid organization would fare all that well. I am not trusting of strong government as it is, but even so, a little organization for times of defense makes sense to me.

[halgitamilf]

A middle ground would be wise. Strong governments take generations to form, after all; we have not such time.

[chikaidestroyer]

For all the talk of government and the complaints about the lack thereof, nothing has ever come of it.

[halgitamilf]

I suppose it would be difficult considering the rapid appearances and disappearances. It would be awkward to gather the opinions of all citizens when Luceti does not have a steady census at any given time.

[chikaidestroyer]

Correct. A few of us have discussed this in the past, down to the workability of a census. Because of Luceti's fluctuating nature, a democratic or republic-based government wouldn't last; New Feathers would question the validity of a vote held by residents who are no longer here, and it would be tedious to hold affirm the government's authority every New Feather cycle.

An aristocracy or hierarchy would also suffer from questions of authority. It's already been proven that the population can come together under pressure, so I wouldn't be surprised if rebellion happens under a leader the majority doesn't trust or accept.

[halgitamilf]

Without a need to regulate such affairs as supplies, land ownership and trade, a government is hardly necessary. Laws, too, would only provide a temptation to more unruly residents.
