  • Great Britain is specifically why I only called the US one of the oldest. You guys have barely modified your framework since what, the battle of Hastings or some shit around 1200 when the Magna Carta was written?

    Yeah, that shit has lasted far longer than it ever should have to be quite honest. I can only chalk that up to Brits and their stiff upper lip. Y’all don’t seem to like upsetting the tea cart.

    If you read The Constitution of the Six Nations, you’ll see why I said they had a bit more influence than The Magna Carta, and Commonwealth Law. After all only 2 of the colonies remained commonwealths to the present day, and only 3 in the last century.

    Almost the only thing we didn’t directly rip from their constitution, that is in their constitution, was the concept that “all laws passed must directly benefit all children of the next 7 generations of unborn children.”


  • A kender. All kender society is communist to the extreme. There’s not much in the way of currency, and what does exist, exists because of states outside of Kenderhome. All public property is communal. Hell, the “jail/palace” is only used if you manage to FORGET TO HAVE SEX with another kender, because they are so fucking ADD that is an actual issue.

    Most people don’t understand kender at all, and think they are just annoying. That’s not what we are. We’re the counterpoint to the gnomes. We can take anything and make it into something interesting, we don’t really understand private property, and personal property is shared amongst us, so others don’t like us. We take problems apart like there’s nothing that can stop us. That’s why I was picking locks IRL at the age of 2. It’s not to commit crimes, I don’t know if any of us are actually capable of doing that intentionally without a lot of disillusionment. We just want to explore everything, and fix all the problems we see. That makes us extremely annoying to others.



  • There’s been some adjustment within the framework, but we are one of the oldest countries that hasn’t thrown out their framework to start over with a new government ideology. I would agree that some of that adjustment comes extremely close to shattering load bearing beams of the framework, but that hasn’t happened quite yet.

    Unlike, for instance, China or Russia, both of which have thrown the framework completely out the window in favor of a new framework twice in the last century.

    The question of: if we need a new framework, or need to modify the existing framework to be better for the people and humanity is a discussion for a different thread.

    Regardless, “The American Experiment,” is what the British, and what became Germany’s aristocracy referred to us as, until after The Civil War, because they saw us as the death knell of “The Right and Proper God Given Rule of Kings, (and queens,)” and were hoping that The US would fail as an idea and political system. I also suspect that the fact that the US version of democracy being based almost entirely on a system that the local Native Americans had been using successfully for over 15,000 years may have also played into their fears about this.
