I have never roleplayed Barca being uncivilized. I have said it on the forum , in order to RP with Barca one would first have to have a conversation with a Barcan. When I was king I had great relations with one of the Barcan rulers, a major fault with republics is rulers change so often and rarely do they carry over information and dealings with their peers.
I'm sorry Glaumring, I'm getting used to read some hardly distinguishable posts here from player/character that I assumed you were doing the same. You're right, republican or democratic governments chose their rulers each X period of time so they often change. So, different members of a Senate that become rulers can steal gold from peasants, as our pal Noblesse seems to insinuate, while in a monarchy always the same king steals it. I'm sure that's the way Aurvandil is filled with gold Mendicants in every square. I hadn't think about it, but that's also a more efficient way to steal!
