Introduction
For the last 4 years, (Country name to be decided) had become the worst case of "tyranny of the majority" imaginable. The first to suffer were intellectuals. Students, qualified profesionals and similar were being progressively turned into slaves, forced to do their work for minimal reward. The situation had reached breaking point, and student riots turned into a fully fledged revolt. Due to the utter lack of educated people in government, it was succesful and certain areas, notably around universities. The revolution also progresively started gaining suport from larger groups of people.
In such circumstances, the revolutionaries were wary of creating a new government, for fear that a similar situation would arise again. So, instead, an "alliance of individuals" was formed. The pact was very simple:
-No person or group within the alliance may deem themselves to have any authority over any other person or group for any reason.
-If material harm is malevontly caused to any person or group within the alliance, every member of the alliance must put as much effort as possible into obtaining retribution for this harm.
And do dawned a new nation.

Comments? Questions? I'm going on holiday for a week tomorrow, but I thought I'd at least get this up first.
