The Collective

The Collective is a nation that takes inspiration from the collaborative work, theory, and philosophy of French post-structuralists Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari (D&G).

Pre-Civ
Before settling on the name and national aesthetic, The Collective was originally the Great People's Republic until having gone through a rebranding.

Politics
The political structure of The Collective follows anarchist principles of organization. It consists of a Council of Deputies and the Chief of Administration. Deputies are elected by majority vote through proposed slates. These deputies have individualized tasks assigned during an election. The membership has the ability to add and subtract delegationial positions as needed through a majority vote.

Culture
Below is listed a few of the nation's mission statement, as outlined by the nation's leader, Exozz.

"We resist the repressive and anti-productive notion of state power - favoring horizontal relations among our members and in our composition.

We vehemently oppose fascism in all its forms; the micro-fascisms practiced in everyday life and the macro-fascisms of totalitarian rule and world police.

On the international scene, we advocate for the self-determination and free-association of all peoples and an end to colonial/imperialist conquest.

Exclusion of groups or persons regardless of any minority background on any basis is not tolerated by The Collective.

The Collective hopes to be a bastion of freedom on the server and to embody a renewed confidence in the human capacity for solidarity, cooperation, and collective action."

-Exqzz, Chief of Administration of The Collective

Foreign Relations
The Collective are members of the COMRADES and New World Alliance, along with having formal pacts with aurellia and KOEL.
