I would like to invite you to participate in a game, well, everyone has been already doing it, but not many have understood their position in the game. The first question we should be asking ourselves before we get started is: What is a nation?
A group of people with the same origin that share historical, cultural and religious connections. They are aware they belong to the same town or community; they generally speak the same language and share a territory.
A social community with a common political organization, with a territory and governing bodies of its own. And it is also politically sovereign and independent from other communities.
Don’t you think this has a lot in common with us? Everyone who works to build STEEM, represents a role, we have a role. We must understand that this will be tomorrow’s government.
Although it’s not only our responsibility, every user has a fundamental role inside this system, they have rights and duties, because working for the benefit of the community is a commitment we should all be involved in. Let’s learn a little bit from this game and the main roles we find in it.
The planet
STEEM is our world; it represents the planet we all live in. But we must work to preserve it and not allow laziness decide its future, because our own wellness depends on the state of the platform.
Here we can find a diversity of people and communities, many of those willing to work for the common good, doing the best they can so the planet can continue to exist. For example: my participation is focused on supporting the Spanish community, I try to represent those who want to stand for our SPANISH language in this planet.
But we will also find people who only want to extract the resources without giving anything in return, even if this leads to the destruction of our planet. We have to use its resources in a proper and honest way so the common welfare and the planet is not affected.
The nations
The nations are the communities that belong to the planet; we will find nations with different languages, cultures and interests. Some of them are very active and they are in charge of taking care of the planet so it can work at its best, others are only focused in their own interests. And lastly we have the ones who are not very active, these ones don’t have much of an effect on the others, although it would be great if they would also contribute because the more people working for the common benefit in the community, the better.
Among all the nations there is one called “REVEUR”, of which I will talk in detail later in this post.
The citizens
You are the citizens, the general users, and you have the most important role. You have a great responsibility, as you are in charge of choosing the course our planet will take by selecting the representatives (witnesses) of the parliament.
Here lays the importance of informing yourselves about what each witness stands for, so you can give your vote to the witness you consider is really working for the well-being of the planet.
You wouldn’t participate in an election without knowing the candidates, right? Therefore, you must not take your vote for granted and give it to someone without knowing his/her interests.
The parliament (The witnesses)
After the citizens, we (the witnesses) are the most important members because we are in the first positions in the parliament; we are the ones with the most influence in the decisions of this planet’s course.
Therefore, like I mentioned, it is very important to know each one of us before giving us your vote. I work to become the voice of each one of you in this parliament. Basically, the course this planet takes is directly related to the importance you give to that vote.
Security forces (lince, cheetah, steemcleansers)
It wouldn’t’ be possible to enjoy stability without security. They are the ones who make sure the rules are followed, when someone is out of line warn them, and if the issues are recurrent, that person will have to be processed.
But at this moment, the planet is too big and there are a lot of things that go un-noticed, so this is where the ‘citizen’ role comes into the picture, not to harass people waiting for them to do something wrong, but to help them become better when they do.
These communities (lince, cheetah, steemcleansers) are an extension of other projects, they protect the resources inside STEEM, and they are doing it the best they can. But when problems arise between citizens, they normally try to fix by flagging each other. This is why
it’s so important to know the proper way to act in this cases.
The tribune
This is the only character that is not yet available in this platform; we must hurry and put it in the game as soon as possible.
Like I explained before, the security forces are there to protect the blockchain and its resources. Some focus only on plagiarism, but what happens when confrontations between citizens arise?
For example, a case of fraud and its victims, or maybe just an article in which many people didn’t agree with the author’s opinion and they decide to attack this person by way of flagging his post.
These occurrences end up being turned into vote and flag wars, and the winner is decided by the side with more money/power in the platform.
A tribune, and arbiters and an impartial hearings are evidently very important elements to have available to help with these kinds of disputes.
They should work for the benefit of the citizens, even if it’s only in the role of mediators.
Therefore, we should start working to incorporate these characters into our Planet.
Now that you have learned about the main roles, I’ll take a minute to speak about the 
nation.
What is this nation? And what does it want?
We want you to get involved, share ideas and implement them, so we can make our mark in this planet. We want to teach you to use the available resources in the right way, because we believe this is where nations usually fail and doom themselves in the process.
We believe that if you understand and fulfill your duties as citizens, we won’t only see the benefits in this platform, but they will extend to all humanity.
We should all grow, walk in the same direction (the common good), pull to the same side and make the wheel turn in everyone’s favor.
It is of outmost importance that each one of us contributes to this nation’s growth. Although this is a role game, it is not as innocent as it seems, because we are directly affecting lives in this platform; and if we do it right, we can buy ourselves some well-being both, inside the platform and out in our lives; and here I’m literally speaking.
The rules of the game already exist, I’m ready to play and support you in this game. The players exist, even though many of you still don’t understand your roles, but it is time everyone makes an effort to understand.
Let it be clear that this is a game that directly affects people’s lives. Let’s try and make this a positive effect. The question is:
Are you ready to play?
Liked what you've read? That is the direction we want to go and we need your support, Vote: @castellano Usando steem connect
