[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 1234618, member: 5100"] Eh, I suppose it depends an how "cut off your nose to spite your face" rebellious you are. A CN character might be fine with a true anarchy. Whatever happens, happens. Just so long as he gets to do his thing for as long as possible. A CG character, on the other hand, might wish that he could see a day with no government, but understands that a true anarchy leaves Evil types -- those who murder, rape, etc. -- do what they will. And that a true anarchy can't last because someone will come along and take over. A LE is likely to set up a system that lets them do what they want while restricting others. A LG is likely to decide that most people are incompetent and need supervision. Either result would suck, just to different degrees. So, an intelligent CG type is likely to view government as a necessary evil. Sacrifice the lesser to gain the greater and all that stuff. If such a group of individuals were to ever get together, they might try to form a minimalist government, trying to find the right balance of organized chaos. It's quite probable that they'd first try a conferation of some sort, then maybe a federation, but abhor a unitary system. If they were to great any sort of foundational document, it might even carry a passage stating that any powers not explicitly granted to the central authority were denied to it -- but they'd probably only do so as an afterthought because it would be a self-evident statement to them.
