Legal Theory

The L5 Nation is to be a meritocracy founded on principles of individual responsibility and rational anarchy. Honesty is a virtue, and our society will respect it.

• meritocracy - a social system where persons with the greatest value have the highest standing
• individual responsibility - a system of beliefs wherein an individual recognizes the necessity of responsibility for their own actions, that rights only come from upholding their responsibilities, where recognition is given for achievement only, blame for mistakes falls solely on those who err
• rational anarchy - "the best government is no government" and a society can live without government only if its members think about what they do and the consequences of their actions, and respect the rights of other members of the community
• honesty - we must first be honest with ourselves, then with society and our environment, if we are to be successful in the long run
