My clan's members contribute to most things.

My clan is sort of a monarchy, but like Twinkie said before, most of our members (especially me as of late!) give a lot to the clan and help run and organize it also.

Yeah...It's funny how most of the time, you end up making all the decisions and running everything. Then when something goes wrong or someone is unhappy, genneraly, teh one doing the most complaining are the ones who have invested the least ammount of time in that which they are upset about...

lol, i guess so...those who dont know what an anarchy is, have a problem, lol

An oligarchy is what the city-state of Sparta ruled in.

the best way to describe it is as thus:

An anarchy is a "state of no goverment"--bad for a clan because that basically means that the clan doesnt really bind anyone together, and its too loose

An oligarchy is basically government run by a group of individuals, usually family members. This works better than a monarchy, assuming that the individuals dont have the same evil interest in mind.

my clan basically works as a monarchy/oligarchy/pseudo-democracy-a helthy mix. I put in a little more work than my co-leader, but we both have equal power- theres the monarchy/oligarchy, and the pseudo-democracy is because nobody in my clan heirarchy has the same power as a commander, but I ake into heavy consideration the input that my clna members give me. So they have some influence as to decisions made.

We are like England. A Constitutional Monarchy. I lead, but with the support of my members.

Our clan has its leaders but we try to incorperate a system where the members have a large part to do with things.

Sound slike there is a healthy mix of all kinds of rule in these clans. I would however, be very interested to see a clan that is under totallitarian rule, lol.
