Blackwater (Town)

Cultural Origins, Creation Myth, and Foundations
The people that now inhabit the Blackwater Settlement are the Urtu people. Before they settled, they were a nomdic people, which has affected their current government form. Legend has it that they travelled from off the map and into the Far-Southeastern area. They made negotiations with the people of De_Sloog, an underground people, and settled just west of them. Recognizing the strategic importance of the Lake area, MMKraken built a large fort there with teh purpose of emminating power outward and across the land and sea. He built towers, bridges, and terraformed the region to be perfect for the foundation of a civilization. This follows the leaders personal beliefs on how power works. This was the foundation of a civilization.

Political System
The politics of Blackwater revolve around the idea of Orbism. The theory begins that man's natural state is order, and that groups form for security. It also states that a worker owns what he creates. Since the resources of the people in a state should be put forward to further the state, and that the worker's own their product, the state must act as a corporation and buy the product from the worker. This is the worker acknowledging the legitimacy of the state. Furthermore, any power held by anyone else takes its power from someone or something, the state takes its power from natural order, and is therefore the only legitimate being. Corporations are an organization that take power from the government, and the government must protect its power by seizing the assets of the corporations. The states resources are centralized around its main production facilities. This will create an aura of power, emminating from the state. Forts and positions of power spread power out further from the seat of power. No other seat of power can exist because it would take power from the state. Supply and infrastructure is the only way to spread power out from the metropolis, since all resources go to it. Settlements can exist by the government giving out power from natural order, and the rights of these settlements are the Privlegia. These settlements are run by central government officials. Officials are elected for the purposes of securing the people and the resources to provide for them. This management system is what defines Orbism and is what defines Blackwater as written.
