The Philosophy of Dominism

Intro

All Alliances ought to have a philosophy behind them. A philosophical statement provides a means of guidance beyond rules of procedure, an alliance charter is essentially a set of rules, that's all. A philosophical statement gives the reason for those rules, providing them with meaning, the charter says how, the philosophy says why. This is crucial for handling situations not covered by the charter or other such documents(cause no one can prepare for every specific situation ). So whenever there is any uncertainty as to what actions need taking, or whether an amendment to the charter is good for us, all we have to do is come back to these simple principles and see if what we want to do is consistent with them.

Axioms

1. All alliances within Planet Bob are organic beings, they are living things endowed with a definite spirit, greater than the mere sum of their parts. As such they have a birth, a development, and a death.

2. All alliances are defined by a set of principles or ideals. Loyalty to which the members must adhere in order to function healthily.

3. History is the testing ground for the effectiveness of any set of ideals. Success is defined as the effectiveness of an alliance to meet its goals.

4. The quality of an alliance is directly related to the quality of its member nations. Quality is always preferable to quantity.

5. The principles most needed for the attainment of the goal of Dominance (and in fact produce and define it) are three: Strength, Unity, and Honor.

6. The three principles are equally essential to the organic whole and are interdependent to each other. Strength is the ability to endure, to conquer, to overcome. Honor implies honesty, humility, quality of character. Unity implies indivisibility, loyalty, and unwavering, utterly singular vision.

7. Democracy rarely works. It is too unstable and too prone to corruption. A system of centralized authority is to be preferred.

8. Maintaining the unity and existence of an alliance does however require the input, consent and involvement of every one of its members. This requires the general population be informed of all decisions and shows that obedience is necessary but it should not be blind.

9. Failure to implement and follow one's principles which are what define oneself in the first place is tantamount to self destruction.
