=== | ===Society=== | ||
Like Humanity | Like Humanity and many other humanoid peoples Paelians developed from a clan structure of nomadic tribes to small settlements that grew bigger in the course of time. Even beside the idea of the absolute, individual freedom some norms were established. People had to agree on certain things to live together. Most of those were norms anyway. Young children would be educated according to the norms but of course those changed nontheless. The very loose concept of people living together and agreeing on certain aspects of how to live together became the basis for Paelians to define a people. | ||
===Politics=== | |||
In many cases Paelians did develop certain hierachies similar to monarchies or oligarchies or representative democrazy. But all of them failed in the end because all those peoples that had left the traditional ways were convinced of the necessity of absolute freedom. This led to a society that doesn't know any kind of laws, any state-run power or any kind of state at all. If problems arose, someone who felt like proposing an idea could do so in public. All the Paelians he could convince of his ideas would try to put them into practice. Others, not seeing the problem or not liking the solution, would not do so. In cases where a clear decision was needed it was not enforced but rather delayed until all would agree. | |||
Of course in practice some people did not like the solutions others came up with and did not follow their ideas willingly but in lack of a better one. In some cases, the delay of important decisions caused many tragedies like deaths by pollution, mistreatment of epidemies and worse. This was the very high price paid for the concept of absolute freedom. | |||
