*clears throat*

You have a goodish resume. I think perhaps we should set up an oligarchy of nobles, almost like the HRE in OTL.

I'd rather an plutocracy

The technology of politics isn't advanced enough for that yet.

But Plutocracy was already a thing in the classical age. It comes from the greek word Ploutokratos or whatever the hell. Carthage, for example, was a plutocracy.

My character is the Grand Prince of Aurinia.
I'm still making my app, but my lore post for the sub-state i control is already up.

If my character wanted, he could buy every single soldier of your army with the loose change on his sofa,partly mostly because of the fact that all types of coin are already way more valuable than modern currency, and mostly because we really have a lot of gold. That, is, of course, why i also would like a plutocracy, because Aurinian wealth would allow us to get into key positions of power.

Capitalist I do have another problem with your post, namely that you left the conversation and came back hours later, even when that much time hasn't passed IC. Just saying

It said I would come back hours later. For all purposes, unless time has advanced hours, I'm still writing the letter.

Right now, maybe, but in a hundred or thousand years, we'll have the Industrial Revolution.

This is kinda why we said save it for later to avoid confusion, ah well.

Wait so is the draconian still in the conversation or no?

I think it'd be better to just retcon that post and svae it for later.

I vote we go for SUPER Feudalism. It is like Feudalism but with the word SUPER in front of it.

Or we stick with feudalism, invent space technology, and realize we are actually just on a Feudal World in the 41st Millennium and the entire throne argument was just trying to find a replacement planetary governor.

He said he left so he departed, the rest with the letter is supposed to be for later.

Ahh yes, but my region is rich in the industrial goods, having impeccably high-quality iron and coal. After all, we did come from an asteroid which flattened every single plant in the area, putting them under immense pressure and therefore creating better oil and coal.

The asteroid is made from iron and coal and oil are made from pressurised dead plant matter.

Yeah, but i'm pretty sure just having an big asteroid hit the ground isn't goin to make oil or coal

The pressure from it after millions of years will crush the plants, creating said coal and oil.

Once again, not really how it works.

Would it be possible to play as a member or officer of the Palantine Guard?

I don't see why not but I am not an official here, I would suggest shooting a telegram to VOID in case he misses the question.

I would guess so. But you might end up not doing a lot, to be honest

I was thinking this would be a good time for it to go more praetorian. But if anybody wants one I'd also be interested in playing a lowly, recently-landed knight in their retinue.
