The monarchy is in the process of producing a census
of all Mauritanjan citizens, in theory this sounds
like a fine idea until you read the small print. Obviously
worried by the lack of support from the masses the
"Royal Family" is attempting to get some justification
for their positions.
Under the current census rules if your name appears
on the census then you are a supporter of the monarchy.
They will then no doubt wave the census round as
proof that they have the confidence of the people
when this is far from the truth.
The Guardians of the Republic urge all the Unicorn
people to burn the census's as they arrive in your
town or at the least refuse to sign until a genuine
census is created not some flawed pretence of a
voting system.
Actions
of deranged King lead to War with Skathen
The King of the Skathen
a race of rat-men has declared war on the Unicorn
faction, allegedly by accident and now claims that
he cannot overturn the decision. This has led their
allies in the royal family of the Harts faction
to lead a raid on the city of Rockholme. Many people
died in the assault including the Unicorn Field
Marshal the thoughts and the prayers of the Guardians
of the Republic go out to the victims of this heinous
assault planned and carried out by the royalty of
the Harts. This fiasco just goes to show what happens
when one individual has the power to start a war
on a whim or by accident.
| Monarchy
vs. Republic Most
people seem to be unaware about why the Guardians
of the Republic are so fervent in their belief that
a Republic is right for the Unicorn people. For those
that do not understand the difference between a Republic
and a Monarchy we would like to set out their points
here.
Under a Republic each area has a representative
who is willing to talk for the people there. These
representatives are often the braver, stronger,
more intelligent individuals like those who attend
the Gathering of Nations. Each of these individuals
has a voice and these voices are all equal in the
council, which decides the laws of the Unicorns.
There is a head of the council, a Lady or Lord General
who represents the Unicorn peoples in dealings with
other nations and keeps order during meetings of
the council. Their vote is listened to with respect
because of their position but holds no greater force
than any other vote. Any position may change hands
at the will of the council. All people under a Republic
are constrained by the same laws, no matter what
their position.
Under a Monarchy the Queen or King has ultimate
power over all laws. They can change laws at a whim
and break them without reprisal. They may ask the
thoughts of the people, but they do not have to
enforce what the people decide. They can be deposed,
but only by force of arms or by their own choice.
The question to be put to the Unicorn people is
whether they wish to be in charge of their own destiny,
or whether they wish to put all their rights in
the hands of another? |
