Clan Governments

There are many different methods for governing a clan: ANARCHY, CO-OP, FAMILY, FELLOWSHIP, GANG, GUILD, MERITOCRACY, PLUTOCRACY, THEOCRACY, and UNION.

Anarchy

The most primitive and purely human of social arrangements. Anyone can join, so there is no acceptance or rejection. Any member can perform any clan function available to them, from moving the clan home to enchanting items with clan enchants. Anarchies automatically accept applicants and cannot assign different roles or exile members. Since there are no different roles to assign, Anarchies cannot order underlings (everyone is the same rank). There is no voting in anarchies, no taxes, and anarchies may not declare hostility, war, peace or alliances with other clans.

Freeman	1				Yes	Yes		Yes	Yes	Yes		Yes			Yes			Yes

All members may CLANLIST Members, can deposit into the clan bank, have access to the clan home (can get items without being accused of stealing), use the clan morgue (if one exists), use CLANTALK, set the CLANMOTD, receive benefits from clan levels, and receive a usable title of their current clan rank. Anarchy cannot tax their members or territories, and only gain experience through the Clan Experience spell gained at clan level 0. Only Anarchies and Meritocracies gain this spell.

Co-Op

The Co-op is run by house mother and father, who can not engage in war or alliance with other clans, tax the members, or order their underlings.

Clan Rank	Clan Rank Order	Accept	Assign	Exile	Set Home	Set Donate	Reject	Premise	Property Owner	Withdraw	Deposit	Order Underlings	Order Conquered	Vote Assign	Vote Other	Deposit List	Declare	Tax	Enchant

House Father	2	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes		Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes*	Yes	Yes

*The House Mother or House Father may declare friendship or hostility, but not war or alliance (so no Clan-PK options).

All members, except applicants, may CLANLIST Members, can deposit into the clan bank, have access to the clan home (can get items without being accused of stealing), use the clan morgue (if one exists), use CLANTALK, receive benefits from clan levels, and receive a usable title of their current clan rank. The House Mother and House Father rank may set the CLANMOTD.

Family

The Family is a clan that only family can join, and is ruled by either a Matron, a Patron, or both. The traditional powers of treasurer and enchanter can be held by any of the adult members of the family, which includes Misters and Mistresses. All other minor powers are held equally by all members, including the cousins, the children, and even the black sheep of the family.

Only the Matron and Patron of a family may set the CLANMOTD.

Fellowship

The Fellowship is a clan where all members vote on any and all clan related matters. Interclan relations, membership, elections to office, and clan policy are able to be placed to the vote of the entire membership by any member at any time. For safety, only two powers are reserved to clan offices: the power to withdraw from the clan bank account is given only to the Treasurer, and the power to maintain clan property is given only to the Manager. Soldiers may also be appointed to handle military matters out in the field.

Gang

The traditional Gang is an efficient organization run by a single boss. The boss has all the powers and authority mentioned above, and can assign lieutentants, treasurers, or staff to assist with some menial chores. Gang bosses and lieutenants also have the authority to maintain discipline in the ranks using the ORDER command.

Guild

The Guild is run by several elite members called Guildmasters. These guildmasters reserve many tasks for themselves, though they must often vote amongst themselves on matters affecting the good of the whole clan. The guild is very hierarchical, so that those with rank above the others may use the ORDER command to those below to maintain discipline. They may also assign a treasurer to help them handle money, though like the CLAN, the masters of the guild also reserve that authority as well.

Meritocracy

The meritocracy is an hierarchical organization run by those who donate the most net XP to the clan. The ranks, from entrepreneurs down to workers, are automatically assigned by who has donated the most net XP to the clan. Members also have the authority to maintain discipline in the ranks using the ORDER command.

Plutocracy

The plutocracy is an hierarchical organization run by those who deposit the most net money to the clan. The ranks, from tycoons down to serfs, are automatically assigned by who has donated the most money to the clan. Members also have the authority to maintain discipline in the ranks using the ORDER command.

Theocracy

The theocracy is an organization that is always run by the highest level cleric. All other clerics enjoy second-in-command privileges. All members are required to worship the clans deity, which is have the authority to maintain discipline in the ranks using the ORDER command.

Theocracies have a unique benefit among all other clan types. They are the only clan type that can attain conquest control points by converting the area inhabitants to their religion. They are also uniquely allowed to sanctify churches in conquered areas and hold services.

All members, except applicants, may CLANLIST Members, can deposit into the clan bank, have access to the clan home (can get items without being accused of stealing), use the clan morgue (if one exists), use CLANTALK, receive benefits from clan levels, and receive a usable title of their current clan rank.

Union

The Union is a clan where all members can vote to elect Senators to handle important decisions such as membership, interclan relations, and setting clan polity. The Senators, like the Guildmasters in a guild, must vote amongst themselves on these matters. All the union members may also vote to elect secretaries to handle clan property, treasurers to take care of money, and sheriffs to take care of military matters. In a Union, there are no members who may use the ORDER command on other members.
