A Greeting to ye who listens and ye who sees
Salutations, people of Elyria! I come today as a humble Elyrian seeking your support in my bid for a County within the Free Kingdom, the County of Ultima Realitas. The County name, in Latin, stands for Final Reality, Last Reality, and Ultimate Reality.
I seek to create a County that which is set upon a foundation of realism, resilience, logic, and resourcefulness. I seek to build a community of people that's willing to accept what may yet come within the unknowns of the Free Kingdom, to endure hardship and defeat yet always bounceing back stronger, to think with logic and to act under good rationale, and to be able to adapt to new situation and prosper under any circumstances. I seek to find fellow Elyrians and comrades who are willing to grasps the very heart of reality and to toss away the shackles of blissful ignorance.
I seek you, reader.

The County of Ultima Realitas
The County of Ultima Realitas is one that believes in the importance of the people and sound reasoning. Our citizens is the foundation of our community and our collective beliefs is the pillar that supports our community. And just what is our belief? It might be a hog posh of entities too diverse to for me to fully list, but one thing always the same, logic and rationality. This is a county of erudite scholars and prudent tacticians. A county of passionate philosophers and rationalistic farmers. Though there may be chaos and confusion in the lands of Elyria, we shall not permit it breach the dwelling of our thoughts, nor the walls of our homes, nor the borders of our county.

The policies of Ultima Realitias
Religion - There will be freedom of religion as long as it does not negatively intrude upon the well-being of others.
Military - The County will be not be warmongering one and will focus on constructing defensive structures so as to best provide our citizens with the protection needed for their livelihood. In the event we do go to war, our soldiers are expected to treat enemy civilians with chivalry. We're all here to have fun and there is no cause to create needless destruction and no justification for harming the unarmed. We will have a standing military rather than a draft.
Economy and Taxes - There will be no monopoly unless it somehow benefits the common people more than it harms them. The government will not intervene in the market as long as it is running as it should. But the County will be more than willing to loan money to fledgling business and merchants, as long as they show that they have the drive and determination to use the money towards creating a successful business. Taxes will have to be discussed once we learn more about the tax system. But I will state that it will not be higher than the national average.
Leadership - The people that which shall define and manage the county should be people with the ability to do so. Currently, I am leaning towards a partial democracy but will wait till more members has joined the County before further fleshing out the leadership policies.
Diplomacy - I believe in having strong relationships with our fellow counties and most of all with our neighbors. We'll all be part of the same team and so hostility is both counter-productive and without logic. I seek to foster both strong relationships and lasting mutually beneficial trades with our neighbor and friends.
Education - There's is little for me to say here other than that I will ensure our citizens gets the free education they need so that they may achieve their full potential and live the life they want to live. Even if my in-game character will have to live in a bath tub his entire life and eat ramen everyday. On a serious note, funds will likely be pushed from military to education if necessary and be put back into the military department once the education is able to support itself.

About myself
There's not much to say honestly. I've played MMORPGs since I was in first grade, starting with Runescape. Dragged into it by my dear cousin. That was how I learned about the world of online gaming and how I learned the English language as a kid. I still remember those days of fighting chickens and selling feathers. Next, I would list the other mmos I've played over the years, but I doubt it matters and I would probably miss a few games.
Now, after all these years, I'm just some random guy that wants to find a good MMO to play and here I am. I won't talk too much about my life other than that I believe that a peaceful solution is always best, even though being in the military kind of contradict that...
My wish is to build a community that will trudge through the dark ages and encroach upon a age of enlightenment. A renaissance in which the people truly prosper. A land where logic and free-thinking overrules senseless destruction and groundless superstitions.
And that's that! See you all in Elyria! Feel free to msg me or find me on the CoE Discord. My discord name is reality.
