Line 72:
On the 9th of August, 2021, reffelruz, council representative of Fort Victoria, nailed a book titled "the DOTEK" to the door of Westminster Parliament. The document was a political diagnosis of the status of the crown in lieu of King Peter's long absence. reffelruz argues that the model of kingship upon which the nation operates has become a theological one - that is, Peter is God manifested in this world, and therefore the governmental system has not merely become a mundane parliament, but that it has divided into a mundane parliament on earth and a cosmic kingship in heaven, upon which the earthly parliament must model itself. reffelruz asserts that all evidence that Peter is God rests in the story of his Civcraft life, which he is attempting to disseminate through sermons, essays and plays. The council members personally knew the king in his time on Civ 2.0 and CivClassic, and so, according to the document, must simultaneously act as his apostles and judges to the nation.
 
This model of kingship places the origin of authority and law in the heavens. Peter is absent, yet is he king. The monarchy is selective, meaning the crown will remain in heaven until the return of the king. The solution, according to reffelruz, is to represent the king with the use of his story, and draw on the story as moral precedent; by modeling a national religion based on the story of the eternal king, we provide a model for law is provided, andas well as a model for the individual citizen; additionally, with each actionevocation in his name, we call uponof the king, keeping us in his memory and him on ours, making his eventualpotential return moreis likelyprompted; should he choose to remain king upon his return, he would assume the role like that of a Roman God-Emperor; should he instead choose to crown another, than he acts the role of the deity in heaven, declaring and anointing the new king with full divine right, legitimizing the crown even in his passing; should he remain in heaven, then law too will remain in heaven, and the nation willwould continue to operate under the spirit of the King.
