Democracy is an egalitarian form of government of a nation, in which all its citizens determine the public policies and laws of their state via equal rights and entitlement to an opinion. In most cases of democracy, the equal voices of citizens are gathered via votes for political parties.
Democracy was a favored form of government for the Assassins.[1] However, their ancient nemesis, the Templars, heavily opposed democracy, often manipulating or even sabotaging voting systems to plant their own puppets in government. During the Golden Age of Piracy in the early 18th century, the Caribbean Templars resorted to blackmailing the United Kingdom's House of Lords in the Palace of Westminster rather than the House of Commons, as the Lords cared more about their own affairs while the Commons comprised the nation's elected representatives.[2] Centuries later, the Templars succeeded in manipulating the 2000 United States presidential election,[1] resulting in their puppet George W. Bush being elected to the position of President in the White House.[3]
In the 5th century BCE, democracy was the preferred government of the Greek city-state of Athens, which was led by Perikles during the early years of the Peloponnesian War. However, the Plague of Athens allowed the demagogue Kleon to stoke the populace's fear of the plague itself and of Sparta, and as a result, he took control of the city-state through the very same "will of the people" that had once put Perikles in charge.[4]
