The quest for an empire – powerful enough to deter all potential enemies and thus secure peace and prosperity for its subjects!
How did humanity try (and keeps trying ) to achieve this dream, where did we succeed and when and why did we fail?
I an attempt to discover a pattern I noticed that:
It obviously starts with concentration of power to achieve security, followed by large development, defence and ideological projects. Soon concentrated power leads to abuse, abuse erodes support for the government and ultimately the empire fails. Therefore, better systems – those with a better chance of survival are those that have implemented better governance. Good accountability is essential for good governance. Therefore, in essence, accountability is indispensable for sovereignty.
