What is Philosopher Kingdom?

Philosopher Kingdom
Where Wisdom Meets Power

Introduction to Philosopher Kingdom

First of all, welcome to our fine region. If you are new to NationStates, I suggest you open up this guide as well. Philosopher Kingdom is a region founded on the principle of philosophizing leadership. While many people may espouse the virtues of unchecked democracy, Philosopher Kingdom does no such favors to that ideology. Rather, here, it is proposed that the best way to ensure good leadership is to train up a new generation of leaders as philosophers. This is in line with Plato's view of a "philosopher king", and is in line with many examples of strong leadership throughout history.



What That Means For Your Nation

You, as a philosophizing leader, will have many opportunities to grow yourself in wisdom. While we do have some regulations as to what you are expected to behave like, for the most part, you are free to discuss topics of many varieties here. Through philosophical discourse, we hope to achieve a better understanding what it means to lead your nation and participate in this region in a just and wise way. You are free to participate in regional government, if you so choose.


Involvement In The Region

If you wish to participate in community here, you will need to reach out. Please consider joining the Linkdiscord or post on the Regional Message Board, as both of these places facilitate community and government. Regional government is much less defined here than it is in other regions, but generally speaking, you merely need to talk to a current leader in government to be assigned a post. Talk to me (Cataluna) if you're unsure about who to talk to. I am always happy to lend a helping hand.


Laws In Philosopher Kingdom

Our legal code is based on a constitution of sorts, the Atlantis Codex. The Codex, unlike most constitutions, details guiding principles by which the government should be run, rather than a strict series of legal definitions and clauses. In addition to the Codex, there is a Criminal/Penal Code. This code is also much less strictly defined than in other regions, and its interpretation is left up to those who enforce it. It is important to note that Philosopher Kingdom does have one ideology it does not welcome: fascism. If you are a fascist, let me know, and I'll arrange for your nation to be moved to The Rejected Realms, free of charge. Additionally, you must have a World Assembly nation registered on this game to be a part of Philosopher Kingdom. If you do not wish to have your World Assembly nation here, telegram me with your WA nation elsewhere. To pass a law, please reference the legal procedures here.
