Monarchy or Democracy?
Letter from Arden Fury |
Message sent to : Everyone in the realm |
The fate of Ordenstaat and the Brotherhood will forever be intertwined
You are mistaken on so many counts.
It is not my council. I am not on the council nor am I running for my previous position of General. If it is at all my council then it is as much your council too just as Ordenstaat is our realm.
The Brotherhood founded Ordenstaat. Its fate shall forever be intertwined. You knew this when you joined Ordenstaat just as you knew that Ordenstaat is a Monarchy. All historical texts were available to you when it came for you to choose.
A Monarchy does not respect all human beings? Define your interpretation of respect. Define your interpretation of a free government.
All realms are ruled by a body. Even in a democracy or a republic it is ruled by a body of Senators or Representatives. You will not do well in such a realm if you do not even take part in running in a Monarchy. Ordenstaat has loosened its definition of a Monarchy, somewhat. A true Monarchy does not have elections. Capable leaders are appointed just as capable leaders are voted in in a democracy or a republic.
Should you feel yourself capable you are free to run or to support whomever you wish just as it is my right to support whomever I wish.
Our former Regent herself did not see fit to change the government system of Ordenstaat to a democracy during her tenure despite calls for democracy being the cause of the rebellion. She only changed the Title System to democratic. A rose by any other name smells just as sweet. And Ordenstaat as a Monarchy runs just as well even though we were called Representatives.
Another thing that you will find wherever you are on any number of islands in the world is that we are a feudal society. As such you have a liege even in a democracy or republic. It would behoove you to remember this. |
