| 09:12.39 | Liquid_Ink | Hey Ghel |
| 09:13.43 | Ghelae | Hello. |
| 09:14.36 | Liquid_Ink | How are you? |
| 09:29.44 | Ghelae | I'm okay; how about you? |
| 09:39.43 | Liquid_Ink | Pretty good |
| 09:40.24 | Liquid_Ink | I'm thinking of the politics of my fiction universe's local Federation-knockoff |
| 09:43.03 | Ghelae | Have you got anywhere with those thoughts? |
| 09:45.36 | Liquid_Ink | Round a few circles |
| 09:46.41 | Liquid_Ink | The state is meant to be more or less a utopia, much like how Roddenberry wanted the Federation but failed to describe well enough. |
| 09:47.32 | Liquid_Ink | I was worried that if the state is run perfectly, then the party in power would become popular enough to be a dominant party state, which generally speaking are suspicious states as far as their democracy goes |
| 09:49.21 | Liquid_Ink | Of course, this kind of thinking is based upon the idea that there would be a major left-wing party opposed to a right-wing party |
| 09:54.24 | Liquid_Ink | I suppose at this stage the state (which for clarity is called the "Union of Democratic States" or "The Union") would have accepted left-wing politics as the only compassionate politics, though right wing parties would have marginal portions of legislature, and instead of a singular left wing party they would vote for parties representing more minor issues |
| 10:09.18 | Ghelae | This isn't something I know much about, so: is non-party politics too impractical to work? |
| 10:10.21 | Ghelae | Since politicians would not be pushed into agreeing with party policies, even if they personally do not agree with them, that would seem to me to add a little to the utopian theme. |
| 10:15.13 | Liquid_Ink | That's a possibility, but in my experience I prefer partisan politics to non-partisan politics |
| 10:16.53 | Liquid_Ink | I feel independents lead to personality politics, and that's not a good thing |
| 10:31.44 | Ghelae | That seems understandable. |
| 10:33.11 | Ghelae | Yes; if nearly all of the politicians agree on some general principles (e.g. the left-wing politic that you're thinking of), you might expect divisions to occur based on smaller issues instead. |
| 10:34.04 | Ghelae | politics* |

| 16:27.37 | Wormy_ | I see you canonised some impossible minerals |
| 16:40.23 | Ghel | Yeah; I realised some of them basically described "solified Essence" and decided to go with it. |
| 16:51.06 | Ghelaway | Metavlitites and veneficites, apparently. Aneumetrites and negentropite just describe the simpler and more elementary physics violations that often appear but lack any explanation deeper than "magic". |
