My Government

Plato's Student

362 BCE

Jonathan Skye, a young philosopher and student of Plato's, became very interested in the Five Regimes that Plato taught of. He was especially interested in the ideas of aristocracy and democracy.

Jonathan's Search of New Land

350 BCE

After graduating from The Academy, Skye decided that he would go and live on territory that he discovered. There, he would write books and enjoy the tranquility of his surroundings. He ended up residing on the shores of Norway.

Plato's Death

347 BCE

After hearing of Plato's death while visiting family in Athens, Skye was fairly saddened. He decided that he was going to do something with the knowledge that Plato had passed down to him.

Jonathan's Skyocracy

335 BCE

Skye took the ideas of aristocracy and democracy to create a government where philosopher-kings are elected into office. He named this new form of government after himself, calling it Skyocracy (Sky-ah-cruh-see).

Skyocracy Implemented

320 BCE

Jonathan turned his hidden home on the Norwegian shore into an entire city, with help from friends and family, where his new government was implemented. He decided to name this new city Kronos, after his father. Some of the first citizens were skeptical about Skye's government, as no one had combined two forms of government before. Jonathan was able to gain access to a major trade route and the city of Kronos thrived.

The Success of Skyocracy

300 BCE

As Skyocracy was praised for its style of governing, more people moved into Kronos. Kronos soon became overcrowded. And so, Jonathan and his council of 2 decided to expand the city into a region with multiple cities. The region grew, as did the council. Soon, Skye had a nation that was being ruled by Skyocracy.

The Death of Jonathan Skye

290 BCE

Jonathan Skye became very ill as the years passed. He had been head philosopher since he started his government. He knew his days were numbered and he had been bed-ridden for his last month. Before he died, he left the position of head philosopher to his only son, Andrew. Jonathan was 94 years old.

Confusion in the Skyocracy Council

289 BCE

A month had passed since Jonathan's death and his only son, Andrew had been sworn into office. The other 9 philosophers were confused, some even angered, by Jonathan's final decision. It completely broke the rules of the system. Some citizens were angered as well.

Skyocratic Corruption

285 BCE

The Council of Philosophers had gotten over the fact that Jonathan gave Andrew the head position. While Andrew had been taught the philosophy that Plato had taught his father, Andrew never understood the balance of power between himself and the rest of the council members. He began to abuse his power as the head philosopher, saying that he was superior to the other members. This attitude did not end here.

Skyocratic Corruption part 2

279 BCE

Andrew was becoming older, but not wiser. He had fired every member of the last council and had a new set of philosophers come in. However, this new set of philosophers featured a few corrupt leaders who were ready to take down the entire government system. They had Andrew murdered and abandoned the nation, destroying the system of government.

The Fall of Skyocracy and the Skyocratic Nation

274 BCE

Because Jonathan never created a backup plan, the entire nation of Savex fell into a state of national chaos. Without a government, no one was around to tend to the people's needs. It was mass hysteria. The nation practically fell to pieces. After 5 years of internal destruction, the entire nation, along with the idea of Skyocracy, was buried in overgrowth.
