An interesting observation

This is pretty short and to the point, but it doesn't have to be a long, drawn out explanation.

If you follow human history...

Empires were ran by Emperors.

Kingdoms were ran by Kings.


Now we have countries.



Food for thought.

Now we have countries ran by C#@%'s.

Sorry, first word that begins with a "C" that I came up with considering the pattern and context.

although technically count-ries are ran by counts

I was going to be polite and say Countries are run by Trees.

Touche!

Star and flag for that. So here's another one, it "comes" together nicely with yours.

If Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock had a child together, what would they name it?

Spork of course. Any other name is just Dickish.

From a short story I wrote long ago.

A MONARCHY has always turned into some form of a tyrannical government. The Monarch's bureaucrats and enforcers try to protect their jobs and thus protect the Monarch which ends up in more control and spies upon the population. Over the years the smart Monarchs have stayed hidden behind some figurehead position based upon tradition or religion to save part of their wealth and much vaulted positions.


An ARISTOCRACY ruled by a few of the rich and powerful elite will turn into an oligarchy. The oligarchy will give lip service and platitudes to the designated Ruler while looking after their own best interest. The giving of platitudes and money to a Ruler helps the oligarchy increase their own wealth and power in a society.


A DEMOCRACY ends in Anarchy. Democracy or mob rule has tended to work best in a society of humans who are of the same race or religion. Throw in different races/religions and you must have a society based upon laws which protects everyone regardless of status and wealth. The laws have to be “EQUAL” for everyone for when these laws break down or the perception of the laws break down then Anarchy is soon to follow.

I would say some cities are already in the Anarchy phase of the never ending cycles of civilization
