The Alliance of DictatorsBoard

OOC: The primary reason why an East Tyrannica Company could be successful (though not necessarily able to quite get on par with the Regnator Corporation) would have to be because of the Commonealth. I can easily start up there, with a large population to exploit, and then move on to nearby nations that are wary of the increasingly expanding powers of the Regnator Corporation, in a similar fashion to how the French did with their Company.

The good thing about chartered companies is that I can actually simultaneously expand both in the west and east through two different companies. Private capital will be going into both companies' operations, so essentially, I shant have to wait at all, now that. Think about it.

OOC: If you are under the impression that the assorted organizations lack any of the advantages that you have listed among the assets of potential British charter companies, then I must inform you that you are mistaken, although the threat against which regimes ally with the Master's Dominate is not generally a centralized organization like the Regnator Corporation of the Master's Dominate.

OOC: I'm sorry, but I'm confused. What organisations are you referring to as "the assorted organisations"? And what advantages are these?

And yes, the threat that some nations find themselves in are not in any shape or form unified or allied together against the Regnator Corporation, but I am of the belief that they would stand behind a centralising power, should it appear.

OOC: As per my usual, I was referring to the assorted organizations of the Master's Dominate, who share the same advantages as the theoretical British charter companies, except such nations as ally themselves with the Master's Dominate generally do so against assorted foes that are not generally a centralized organization.

OOC: Would the Master wish to have individuals serving under her creating organisations that would compete with her own Regnator Corporation? Also, your economy, from what I understand, is not advantageous in giving individuals the initiative to take their own affairs in their own hands, as much as it is meant for the Regnator Corporation to exploit other nations. So in all honesty, though there is a chance that I am mistaken, I doubt very much so that I am mistaken.

OOC: You do not seem to be aware of the fact that the Master's Dominate does not possess a caste system, and that the citizens of the Master's Dominate rise in the ranks of whatsoever career path they choose of their own merits; with regards to the aforementioned organizations, they tend to be subsidiaries or associate corporations, rather than competitors.

OOC: In short, collaboration with the Master's Dominate tends to be very appealing to patrimonial absolutists that desire to increase their own personal power over their nation's politics, property, and social policy, and find themselves at odds with domestic institutions or popular opinions that are unwilling to give up their power or to support the dictator's reforms.

OOC: I have not forgotten the lack of a caste system and the availability of social mobility within the Master's Dominate. However, your economy does not allow for individualistic greed, by its very own nature, from what you have hitherto described unto me. The idea of currency is, in your nation, to live a comfortable life, like that of which is described by Sir Thomas More in Utopia, the life of plenty and blessings; the idea of currency is to your people, outside the Master's Dominate, as an artificial tool intended to exploit other civilisations and economies. Because of its artificial qualities, your people's wealth are never secure, and can disappear at any moment, should the Master wish it. This is a wonderful idea and weapon for government, and an utter weakness for the pursuit of individualistic wealth and power. I intend to exploit this weakness.

The wealth of private individuals, along with the ambitions, zeal and greed of those same individuals for more wealth and power will remove the restrictions and barriers that the Regnstor Corporation faces. So in short, I intend to emphasise on individualism, where you emphasise on centralism. My humble opinion is that, whilst the Cyrodoon centralism has many advantages to it in many different fields and situations, the British individualism will succeed in this instance in the long term.

OOC: Individuals within the Master's Dominate are quite capable of satisfying their personal greed in the same manner as a foreign capitalist may, except for the fact that rather than owning the properties that their enterprise uses to make a profit, a contract is purchased from the Regnator Corporation of the Master's Dominate that allows them to run the enterprise as a joint operation so long as it remains profitable. In any case, if it is wealth and power over assets and individuals that people desire, they will find few things in this world that can match investment and collaboration with the Regnator Corporation of the Master's Dominate, because, while you may have failed to realize this, the entire system of the Master's Dominate has been specifically designed for the internally competitive but externally anti-competitive satisfaction of the instinctual desire for wealth and power that all people feel.

OOC:

Social Class One: Noble Clergy of the Immisericoric Church, headed by the Princes of the Immisericoric Church, and the Master
(Income derived from distribution of universal tax of ten percent and ownership of the servant races, raw materials, and primary production)

Social Class Two: Lords Regnator of the Master's Dominate, headed by the Prime Regnator of the Master's Dominate, and the Master
(Income derived from a ten percent tax on the income of the Servitors assigned to them)

Social Class Three: Technological, Cultural, or Product Innovators, headed by the joint Research and Development Boards of the Regnator Corporation and the Immisericoric Church, and the Master.
(Income derived from ten percent royalties on the profitability of their innovations)

Social Class Four: Armed forces of the Master's Dominate, paramilitary and military, headed by the Warmaster and the Prime Regnator of the Master's Dominate, respectively, and the Master.
(Income derived from stipends associated with rank, profitability of one's mercenary contracts on the paramilitary side, and non-administrative enfeoffment on the higher ranked military side)

Social Class Five: Commercially administrative Legates and subordinate commercial administrators of the Regnator Corporation of the Master's Dominate, headed by the Lieutenant of the Regnator Corporation of the Master's Dominate, and the Master
(Income derived from a fixed percentage of the profits derived from the Regnator Corporation of the Master's Dominate in their commercial zones and those of one's subordinates)

Social Class Six: Administrative overseers placed in charge of the management of groups of non-military servant species of the Master's Dominate, and the more traditional employed bureaucrats, subordinate to higher classes
(Income derived from the profitability of the non-military servant species of the Master's Dominate in the case of Administrative overseers, and income from fixed salaries adjusted for profit sharing in the case of the more traditionally employed bureaucrats)

Social Class Seven: Servants of the higher ranking and otherwise wealthier members of the assorted higher social classes, and the performers of assorted manners of traditional and foreign entertainment methods.
(Income derived from fixed salaries and complementary provision of luxurious goods)

By all means, my friend, please explain to me in what manner individuals are not as free, if not even more free than in traditional capitalist economies, to seek their own power and personal gain in a fashion that is just as meritocratic and much more secure than in the aforementioned capitalist economies.

OOC: I shall continue with the discourse I'm having with Cyrod once I get home and have access to my computer.

I've got a question: I understand from last night that the western continent lacks a universally accepted name. Shall I just name it something for the purposes of contibued RP till we find a universal accepted name for the western continent?

Perhaps something that brings up a consensus?

OOC: Yes, it'll be something acceptable by everyone (till such a time as others wish to have a different name for it). For instance, I shan't be naming it New Avalonia or anything. XD

OOC: How about Koopalandia?

Humility isn't your strong-suit.

We submit either Oppressaria or Authoritas.

OOC: They sound good. Any other suggestions? And also, do they have to be named like that? Can't they be named in a manner that doesn't necessarily give away the quaki to establish of a tyrant?
