Description[?]:
| Content and summary of a book published by baron Fredérick Varanzý. ON THE VIRTUES OF MONARCHY Content Chapter I. Why monarchy? Chapter 2. Accountability Chapter 3. Constitutionalism Chapter 4. Continuance Chapter 5. The Chaos of Republics Chapter 6. On a league of monarchies. I. We believe that monarchies are more accountable and more stable, since they could plan a consistent political approach with a higher degree of predictability and accountability than the chaotic affairs of a republic, where the ruling faction often benefits their own constituencies on the expense of everyone else. II. A monarch is accountable to his people since he is forced to live with the consequences of his political programme, and is therefore seldom radical or factionalist, since he has to represent the entire people and does not hold the political opportunity to represent a caste, a class or an interest group. III. A monarch in a constitutional monarchy will act as a protector and safeguard to the constitutional rights of the citizenry. IV. While a republic could only plan until the next election cycle, and decisions made by a republican government are often razed within the framework of a decade, a monarchy affords the luxury of long-term planning, given the stability and peaceful tranquility enjoyed by monarchial governments. V. Republics will be forced to be more aggressive both domestically and internationally, since they possess none of the virtues of monarchy. VI. To counter the spread of chaos, anarchy and warfare, it is necessary that the monarchies of Terra engage in a programme to, 1. stabilise all monarchies from republican factions by bilateral treaties of intervention, 2. that republics which are chaotic are changed into monarchical governments.

| Message | It has its points, but there are benifits of a Republic, and downsides of a monarchy. Why I believe in the Republic Empire, for their is balance between the two. |

| Message | By what means is an absolute monarch supposed to be chosen, and how could he possibly justify being in a position of power above of the harder workers, the smarter scientists, and the powerful crime lords? The position of one absolute monarch leads to inevitable power struggles and naturally oppresses the rights of the common people. |

| Message | That is true, yet an absolute could claim power by the will of the people. As long as he does what the people wish and rules justly and Absolute ruler, can justify his rule. Now yes there will be opposition, but if there was not then he would not have to worry about justifying his rule, for the people would believe in him no matter what. |

| Message | And the monarch is not an absolute monarch, but tied up by a constitution. Any decent government, whether a monarchy or a republic, needs a constitution to limit the boundaries of the actors. |
