Low-Tech Democracy.

[combatmedic]

1. Political theory

2. Political will

3. Political stability

4. Communication and transportation.

1:
No fancy theory is needed. The tribesmen get together and vote on stuff. Fairly common practice in some societies.

2: True for any government, no?

3: Democracies have often proved unstable. So have other forms of government.


4: Any state would need good transportation and communication to govern a large area. It is arguably more important in a centralized ''democracy.'' Probably not workable over a certain size, in that election and poll results will likely become very cumbersome to collect, count, and disseminate. And gov't may move very slowly indeed if a great many things depend on such counts.
