To my Brethren in sovereignty.
So long as men have striven for the good, it had been their first concern to transcend, where possible, the moral and intellectual deficits to which nature has condemned them. Man becomes civillised first when he acnowleges his tendancy for ignorance, selfishness, violence, prejudice, and unwise decision. The growth of a man is the taming of these flaws in himself, as the growth of a society is the taming of these flaws in the transactions of citizens.
In order to live together, men and women must trust the authority which an organised society, by regrettable necessity, wields. The best and only way humans have to date discovered to create trustworthy authority is to colocate power and responsibillity, so that the sovereign, invested as he is with the wealth and power of the nation, acts upon that desmesne with the integrity that a man acts upon his own self.
The sovereignty of a person in their own mind and will ought to be proof against lash and chain of illegitimate meddling. Where a competent and ethical sovereign rules, no person must fear the angry mobs, prying neighbors, and irresponsible demagogues which plague "democracies". In a state of nature, only the love of a parent for a child is truly selfless, in all other pairings, humans act to realise their own benefit and not that of the other. Thus, an absolute monarch re-creates this best known model of trustworthy authority.
I ask that other monarchs come forward and join me. Stop hiding in the shadows of republics. King and Queenship is no quaint relic of the past, but an institution founded upon the timeless wisdom of our forbearers. If you, as I recently have, find yourself surrounded by the braying mobs of "peoples republics" and "representitive democracies", then know that you may join me in the region ALLIED PRINCIPALITIES, where we can each work to secure the well-being of our respective subjects unmolested and with the solidarity of our brother and sister monarchs. If you do not wish to do so, then carry on in your sacred charge of state with my blessing and approbation.
Whether a kingdom chooses to join me or not, it is my sincerest wish that this message be taken as it is intended: a clear and proud declaration that monarchy, that most venerable of human institutions, is not that lack of a pollitical structure, but rather the wisest possible synthesis of the needs and inclinations of civillised peoples. I hope in the coming years to see a resurgence of pride amongst monarchists, and the furtherance of agendas aimed to secure this form of govornment's place in the world for future generations of man.
