the recent return to a more tribal society and away from the democracy that the Republic was founded on will lead to a weak Republic. One which will be crippled by poverty, corruption and mass civil unrest.


What alternative would you suggest, then? The Amarr have done all they can to stamp out our cultural identity -- the 'Reeducation Camps' are evidence enough of that. Democracy is a joke when we're spread across half the galaxy under the thumbs of a conquering people.

At least the Seven Tribes have an identity of their own, fractured though it may be.


And, there's nothing against using the tribes as a baseline, towards a Republic that fits the Matari people better than the traditional setups (that the Galente and others teach) would. One important aspect of the move is probably to show that they can in fact stand on their own two feet, while still holding on to tradition.

Its a delicate balance, but I'm optimistic for the outcome.
