Vellos quite twisting your words. Yes I asked for archonship for FR because we fallowed all the points of article XI as the theocracies do. Thus are a theocratic republic. You have not requested archonship for terran is BS as a theocracy automatically gets that right per the charter and open elder positions as limited by game coding.
I'm not twisting my words, or anyone else's.
Sure, yeah, you're a theocratic republic. But a theocratic republic IS NOT A THEOCRACY. I'm not talking about game-mechanics here: I'm talking about FR's legal and cultural self-definition. FR has NOT chosen to define itself as a theocracy, but as a THEOCRATIC REPUBLIC. There IS a difference. Asking for an Archonship when you're not even willing to call yourself a theocracy is presumptuous.
Regarding Terran's position, no, it's not BS. Theocracies totally have the right to abdicate their archonship, and Terran has done so. That's not insignificant.
