Gabby: Capitalist oligarchy? You do realize that the Spartans of old actually forbid currency. . . .or perhaps not? If you want even a half-witted attempt to discuss Spartan philosophy pro or cons, well we may just have to find a appropriate place to discuss that. Especially if your 'workers paradise' means what I think it does
Re: loin clothes: they are purely optional. Cant hate on us for pulling it off
Hmm. *reads wikipedia*
Two hereditary monarchs, so far so minority rule.
Council of elders, often related to the kings. Representative democracy. Sounds pretty bourgeois so far.
Slavery, nice and capitalist.
No trade, no manufacture.
I see. Say... what happened to Sparta?
Although, this:
Even during her decline, Sparta never forgot its claims on being the "defender of Hellenism" and its Laconic wit. An anecdote has it that when Philip II sent a message to Sparta saying "If I enter Laconia, I will level Sparta to the ground", the Spartans responded with the single, terse reply: "If."[21]
is awesome. Kudos.
