"The Basis of the Perfect State,

on politics and governance,

by Edward Winter II and Otto Sarkozic Carrion,

Penned by Edward Winter II on a frosty morning.

 

The governance of a state must be just. To be a just state, the governing body must execute their duties and powers efficiently with the will of the people and the good of the state held as supreme.

 

The judicious and firm-handed monarch can in his own right control the state. A monarchy is far more efficient, effective, and has a lesser potential for corruption than the republican system of councils, voting, and election. The downfall of the just monarch is his heir. The spoiled child corrupts the state, the weak-willed monarch relinquishes the power of the royal family. The royal heir must be established as the supremely noble and knowledgable steward of the state, whose governance is just and his decisions well-made.

 

The ill-fit heir has, in the past, been rectified by extensive counsel, where the royal extends to his advisors the powers of the state. The function of the government in this state does deteriorate, as the absolutism of the monarch is sullied by the extended powers and corruptions of the monarch's counselors, whose motives and intellects are unknown and unverified.

 

So one must establish the basis by which a just monarch can be ensured by the generations.

 

Election of the most just by the common people is a flawed system, as the uneducated and ignoble masses know not of justice nor righteousness. The thieves and beggars in the charity of the state should not be tasked with the selection of a republican heir. The whims of the people to favour a man do not establish him as the most effective steward and leader to his people.

Election by the masses of nobility is too a flawed system, as the nobles delight in their pleasures without properly knowing of management or governance. Their corruptions of sin diminish their efficacy as a just constituency.

 

The solution then, is to look for the most just of a collective of just monarchs in a collective of states, and to choose from them a supreme monarch, who should steward the constituent monarchs in his wisdom and with a firm-hand.

 

Were the Kingdoms of humanity to with each other combine, and the monarchs together of varying levels of aptitude to their position were to choose from amongst themselves the most well fit to the supreme crown over the constituent monarchs, then a just monarch could be established. The unity of the Kingdoms should  strengthen the military and economic state of function, and further serve to demilitarize and focus supplies on economic pursuits, by allowing for the each of the states to contribute to a military to a lesser degree, which shall together equal a force unrivaled by any modern monarch.

 

The human Kingdoms of Salvus, Ruska, Herendul, and Oren, were they to unite, could each contribute but 25,000 men to a combined force, and still manage to afford their borders greater protection than if they alone attempted to muster 90,000 each for their own interests, an impossible feat regardless. The unified states would be able to pass and enforce legislation and regulation, and efficiently and effectively steward their states with the guidance of an emperor-steward and his leadership in their governance.

 

Furthermore, the borders and futures of the human states would be secured by the stabilizing force of the constitutional empire and her emperor-steward, who would be elected by the constituent Kings to be the most just of all men to govern humanity. The states would together validate their claims and legislature, and their combined military force would both strengthen the defense of their borders and allow for each of the constituent Kingdoms to turn focus upon their domestic affairs.

Otto nods, he had helped Edward pen this.

[Garukumus 81]

Nigel senses a disturbance in the jimmies. Looking up from his desk he turns his eyes in the direction of Kralta.

 

"Crows."

*Is handed the paper by a courier and reads the context. He sighs as he finishes and looks at the courier*

"That escalated quickly"

[Zanderaw 162]

Zandros reads the pamphlet, raising a single eyebrow.

 

"There can be no justice under Oren," he says simply, tossing the book into his fireplace.

[Supremacy 3361]

An old man's eyes flick over the note, he frowns intently before taking a lustrous pin from his coat and pinning the note to a pole. He shuffles off, hunched over. Below an appendix has been added:

 

You grossly overestimate yourselves with a so called army of 25,000.

[Glyc 234]

While in Oren, a man hands Eachenn a copy before stating it's price. Laughing, Eachenn throws it to the ground "You must pay for Propaganda now?" he says before shaking his head and walking off, hooting and hollering.

[Wakaton 0]

A man huddled in his wool cloak shivers as the winter cold creeps into his every being. Walking down the path, he eyes the stack of pamphlets sitting idle next to the shopkeeper's counter, and gestures for a copy. After reading it for a few minutes, he casts it onto the ground, muttering,

"The real issue now is to decide when the power of the states end."

[Quavinir_Twiceborn 1050]

Quavinir downright laughs as he reads the document ""Oren poleeteecs is seemply a bunch of vell armed men yelleeng at eachother, and demanding taxees from zhere peasant subordeenahnts, Pah! Oren can, ahnd never veel beh perfeect."
