History
The Realist Polities were formed after a number of high officials from half a dozen local potentates, disappointed with their leaders' ideologically driven policies, decided to come together, bring down their respective governments and unite the region.
The designation polity was decided upon because the regimes they had overthrown were not considered to be states nor nations - too young and chaotic to bear any of those labels.
As the new nation grew demographically and territorially, the official name changed to Empire of the Realist Polities. The people however still refer to it as "The State".
The still small nation, with all the reforms introduced by its founders, gradually grew into a full ideological empire.
Its ideology Political-Realism, based its canons on authors and philosophers such as Thucydides, Hanfeizi, Sunzi, Niccolo Machiavelli, Jean Bodin, Armand Duplessis, Otto von Bismarck, Gaetano Mosca, Vilfredo Pareto, Robert Michels, James Burnham, Curzio Malaparte, Philippe Mottu, Hans Morgenthau, Henry Kissinger or John Mearsheimer.
Of the original languages, customs or culture in general, the realist leadership changed nothing, limiting instead its reforms to the already unified political system, foreign policy and defence.
Managerial Council
The Managerial Council is the executive organ of the Realist Polities.
It is based on the teachings of James Burnham, regarding the ascension of a new elite, neither plutocratic nor technocratic, but rather the elite of those with a predisposition to create socially and with a natural gift for power politics.
The Council was created to replace the charismatic one man regimes and henceforth the leadership has always been collective to prevent any type of Bonapartist tendencies.
The Council is comprised of the elected representatives of the various sectors of society except those of the Military-Industrial Complex and the Foreign Policy sectors, which do not promote elections in their midst - since they have to maintain a coherent political and administrative line facing foreign threats - preferring instead power driven reshuffles every now and then.
