The Republic is long dead; good and dead. And for that, I am very glad. Far too much drama, corruption, and pettiness. It reminds me now of King Loius XIV's court in Versailles, where the French nobility would fight over the grand honor of holding the King's shirt when he got dressed in the morning, among other useless tasks that just kept them out of trouble. I miss some of the people who had joined it and left to follow Rich... but aside from them and the reformed Rich himself... no. I am glad the Republic is dead. *drives stake into Republic's heart*
