WARNING: The paragraphs and points ahead are purely comical, but they’ll still give examples of the ‘five points’ I described earlier. I’m going to do my best to make this like a lesson for younger children: understandable, and hopefully fun.
‘Seboolah’ is an underwater kingdom of fish.
- Who’s in charge? (sovereignty): The ruler of the fishy kingdom of Seboolah is a king, making the government of Seboolah a monarchy.
- Who do I report to? (authority): The kingdom of Seboolah relies on a feudal system, much like Medieval England. That means the king of Seboolah is first in command, with aquatic nobles and officials directly under him, knights under the nobles, and peasants and commonfolk under the knights. One king is in charge of many nobles, one noble is in charge of many knights, and so on.
- What are the rules? (law): In the watery kingdom of Seboolah, every citizen must be respectful to those above them. Another law is that they can’t disrupt the peace without good cause. (A common law, no matter where you look.)
- What happens if I obey? (sanctions): Citizens who obey the law are guaranteed protection from invaders, and are allowed to shop and play around the neighborhood.
- Is there a future here? (succession): Since Seboolah’s government is a monarchy, the king’s son or daughter will take the throne after he dies.
