If you have any comments or suggestions for the Alien Ideologies Chronicle, you can put them here.For anybody that is wondering, the Doctrine of the Great Order in the story is modeled after the Civilism ideology movement. It is described in depth in the treatise Civilism: A Vision for a Functioning Society, by Erik Seth, the intellectual leader of the Civilists. The book reads like a cross between Plato's Republic, and The Communist Manifesto with a hint of Fascism. Unfortunately it is impossible to find copies of, and the Civilist web site is not yet up.
I am not a Civilist myself, nor am I trying to make them the heroes of the story, I'm only trying to throw a new ideology into the mix.
