Why? What? Who?
Why? What? Who?
I have read quite a few articles these last few days here and also in Italian media - about Theocracy, about Italy, about Switzerland... a picture starts to emerge from the google-translated, broken sentences, from half-said, half hidden rifts between people and ideas, from people between two countries or belonging to both... and I've been thinking about it, pondering and trying to define my choices and future - if it is still belongs here, then I must find out what and why - I already know the who, the people, and this part is the easiest, for it definitely agrees with me.
But the main picture is still far from clear, and what I can see is that it is certainly complex. Theocracy is evolving I think, it is more and more with each passing day. People from many places and from many faiths, and reasons join and enrich it with personalities, ideas, stories, achievements. But it has not yet been made into a coherent state that could endure. As vegaicm put it (sorry if google translate mistranslated it) Theocracy is not a party, not a religion, not a disease and not a negation - but it is much harder to define what it is.
Because being a military and economical power is not a defining factor, these are achievments. Being an organization of soldiers is getting close, but still not enough. Being a faith is something but belief does not come overnight. What did attract me was somthing also vegaicm mentioned - the other way of playing the game that does not care for nationality, race or sex. To bring together people, and build a community of them that is truly unique. To accept our differences and value them - instead of being xenophobic and fear of the others, hate them, despise them.
The questions from the title of my article go towards this too. I am asking each of you... what is Theocracy for you, why have you come here and who are you? A community is its members and the idea that connects them. If the idea is to treasure our differences, then we should talk about those differences and rejoice in them.

Theocracy=a good example of understanding.
SILENT LEGES INTER ARMA!
Some few days ago, Burin wrote an article, where he explain his vision of Theocracy. For me, its the best definition:
And i quote:
"- Theocracy gives purpose to actions
- Theocracy transcends ordinary being goals
- Theocracy also transcends e-republik customary goals
- Theocracy gives power to unity and unity gives power to individuals
- Theocracy radiate courage
Theocracy has eyes of a bird that sees all other things from the above, but doesn't judge from the above..."
Thankz Burin.

thanks, cidadao.
switching to more profane language, i beleive that, among other things, the fact of overcoming mental e-national borders is something which gives new dimension to this game on e-global level.
Quicksilver köszönjük:S
Azért néha megértem a többieket,hogy miért szórakoznak Veled, de ha már újságod van, és eddig mindig kétnyelven szóltál, miért akarod azok érdeklődését is elveszíteni,akik nem bántanak,vagy talán még el is ismerik eddigi munkásságodat?
A teokratákról szóló cikkek minket is érintenek (főleg ha alig tudsz valamit angolul,mint pl én:D ),akár akarjuk akár kaksizunk rá.
azért még vote...
Speak English please, it is an international article.
akkor leiratkoznék, ha ez internésünel...
de nincs harag, áj hóp!
Nem értem én ezeket az embereket...
i do not understand these people...
"overcoming mental e-national borders is something which gives new dimension to this game on e-global level."
I completely agree with that. It must be why this place has no nationality, to be able to try this mental attitude.
Theocracy is a movement envied by many.
Theocracy is an economy power that shocked the USA.
Theocracy is a military power that in the past hits hard USA & Romania.
Theocracy is a military power that always reached its targets, never lost.
Theocracy is an organization that take care of its Members and its Soldiers.
Theocracy is now courted.
Theocracy is now seen as a threat.
Theocracy is able to have ex-Soldiers from Countries of different Alliances.
Being a Theocratic Member is probably seen as a new achievement (we group together around 10 ex-Presidents and 15 Field Marshals).
Nobody was forced to stay in Switzerland, we are all here for our own willing.
Before joining we did not have a common language, we did not have a common flag, we did not have a common religion.
None of us had any other reason to share his/her e-life with another Theocratic if not the willing to build a strong community where everybody is an important member, without discrimination on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, and national origin.
The best thing about Theocracy is that it disregards the inherent RL linkage this game has and elevates it onto a higher level. Theocracy is an alliance that is not aligned. Theocracy is a country that doesn't exist. Theocracy is an army that belongs to noone but itself and that is exactly who it fights for. Theocratic economy doesn't bring power & wealth to those who own the companies, instead, through system of taxes & donations it gives back to it's workers & soldiers.
SILENT LEGES INTER ARMA!
vegaicm, were it not so long, I would propose it to be our motto...

Amen Vegaicm and Amen Quicksilver!
because in theocracy there are true friends
Amen!
yeah
Nincs nektek Isten komplexusotok?:-DDD
Don't you have God complex? :-DDD
i love you quicksilver, great article by a great woman.
:-*
Smirnoff Ice: no, we have Gods
I´m new but i like thishind of "movement"
what is theocracy?
Theocracy is a great legion of BROS, who have set out to do one of the Nobelist things possible
gather as many BROS as possible together to fight the evil in the world.
The true definition of Theocracy is a government ruled by or subject to religious authority.
I "joined" 'cause it is an international movement, without RL poinson between RL nations. But above all I joined 'cause I want to fight without restrictions, work for nothing but in exchange for that receiving all I need to hit the wall hard. The rest is just talk, talk, talk. Sounds great, but let's be honest for most of us doesn't matter.
For the moment i've got just the working part but it doesn't bother me, for I know that my work will be recognized sooner or later.
On suggestion though for the leaders, please try to act like you have written in the newspaper article, 'cause as far as I see the every day stuff doesn't work like that. Never been contacted by an army leader (well my company wellcomed me), don't know what is the next step to incrase my expirience on the battle field, without leaving the country and so on.
Thank you for your attention.
