People joined the Republic - they didn't join any Province (with the possible exception of our illegal immigrant. :) > > Not to be an asshole, but that doesn't actually address the artificiality of the provinces. The provinces were conceived of as part of the Republic from the beginning. We had intended to (and did) claim some provinces. So how can one separate the two? If the provinces are "artificial" adn therefore unfit for legislative representation, then wouldn't that apply to the Republic as a whole? First, I don't mean anything negative by "artificial", just that they don't represent any natural division, but one we have made up entirely because we think it's cool. The Republic is not artificial. The Republic consists of us Talossans, we are a bunch of people who are building a nation, Talossa. We are bound together by common aspirations, a history, and a sense of friendship. The same is not true for the provinces (except the history part, partially). The provinces, on the other hand, can be two or five or ten, we haven't decided how big they should be, who should live in them etc. They are drawing-board constructs. Surely you see the difference. --  |
