The Fragility of Oreican Democracy

Democracy and it's roots are dated back to approximately the 200s. In a time where people begin to form into colonies, Empires are constructed, the concept of choice, and choice of leadership has greatly expanded over the years. In Oreica, the first democratic nation was Arendeska. It's leadership elected through the people's votes. As a prospering trade empire, it's fall to Brivish and then Briliffian Empires resulted in many organs of those nations developing their own forms of democracy. In the time of the GAPR, and the GAC, democracy was commonplace among most developed nations. But such a system in a world of constant development and war is a treasure.

Such is the reason for democracy in the modern world being so scarce. Nations expanding under nationalistic virtues and military victories, all forgetting about the true meaning of choice. For centuries the Arendeskan people tried to keep the democratic values, and for centuries those values were threatened. But until this day, the Conian Democratic Republic remains the sole democratic nation in the world. A nation of choice and of freedom, who's people do not feel oppressed. That is the reason for it's growth.

But even as many hold the opinion of the sun setting on freedom of choice, the candle is still alight. While Snezhgovia had essentially conquered the Arendeskan people in the creation of the UCSR, the key principles of freedom are upheld, along with the evidently forced principles of Commissariatic Socialism.

As said by an ancient Arendeskan scholar; *"Democracy's base, is the foundation of 7 key components of a democratic state. Being, Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Movement, Freedom of Information, Freedom of Assembly, Equal Rights, and the Ability to own arms. These 7 components are absolutely necessary to maintain democracy, and should never be undermined, or edited. All citizens should have access to information, all citizens should have freedom to move where they please, all citizens should have the right to speak their mind. Citizens should receive equal opportunities, no matter where they are in the country, and last but not least, citizens should all be equal before the law, and citizens should be allowed to own and maintain firearms. These are all the foundation, of the building that is democracy, if but one of them is removed, the entirety of the structure falls."*

His name, Vol Genor. A prominent philosopher in those times, even in those times, wrote the 7 Axioms of Democracy, which to this day even still, remain within Arendeskan society. Genor's followers in the early 800s renewed his thesis further, in an excerpt;

*"Through the ages, humanity has seen great changes in government, from oppressive regimes, to modern democratic governments. In truth, only one thing separates tyranny from democracy and that is the ability for citizens to own and maintain firearms. As seen in regimes of Briliffia, of Arkastona, and presently of Uzbroskia, all oppressive regimes are afraid of their people to such an extent, as to reaching the point of removing access to weapons from their people. That, is the very first, and main indicator of coming tyranny. To put simply, if a government removes the people’s ability to maintain arms, that government then must be afraid of its people due to it doing things that it knows the people will not approve of. "*
