This is the Spartan Politeia, our constitution, explaining our laws. This document will govern how our group is run, and how we will grow and become strong.


Preamble: Beginnings
Our forefathers, the Dorians and Mycenaeans, conquered the lands we now call Greece. They started the population and cultivated the culture, but their reign was short lived. The dark ages began and the people died but some remained. These strong warriors began a settlement in the lower Achaean called Sparta. This city would soon become a European super power.

During the Reign of King Charillos a man (Lycurgus) reformed the spartan way and created the military prowess we carry today. The first institution was the implementation of the sussita/syssitia, the practice that required all Spartan men to eat together in common mess halls. He also changed they way we lived. He separated the land of Laconia into equal land plots that each Spartan and his family were to live on. This advocated equality in the lives of the Spartans. You are not better than your fellow Spartan to your left, and to your right. We are a Brotherhood, we live and fight TOGETHER.

Lycurgus also set up the system of the Agoge. This was the training place of all young Spartan boys from the age when the were seven, until they were sixteen. These reforms changed the mild Spartans to the tough and hardened ones we are today. Pay homage to this Legend, any slander of the name of Lycurgus will result in an immediate exile from the Brotherhood.

Our history is long and hard, the Kings Leon and Agasicles attempted to conquer land from the Arcadians but shamed us in battle against Arcadia. But we did not give up. King Cleomenes launched an invasion of Argos. They also failed to capture the city but the battles they one crippled Argos and they were no longer a threat. Soon afterwards many Greeks made alliances with us because of the brave actions of our Kings and our skilled Spartans. We soon expanded and captured many lands and became what we are today. This is our history. Honor it and our fathers with your sword and you skill. Know that this History forged a race of warriors unlike the world has known. WE ARE SPARTANS!!!!

Section One, Article A: Laws and Honor

This is a fairly long but important section.

1. Sparta is ruled by two Kings, this form of leadership is called an Oligarchy. They are equal in power and command the Spartan forces. They are to be treated with the up most respect and any slandering of their names will not be tolerated, and will result in an immediate exile.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. The Spartan Kings are assisted by the Ephori, a group of 3 men. They are the Kings advisers and act in his will when the kings are not present. They too will be respected. Any slandering of their names will not be tolerated, and will result in an immediate exile.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. The Disuri are the higher ranking officials of the group and are to be respected as well. They are experienced fighters and train the Spartan forces.They too will be respected. Any slandering of their names will not be tolerated, and will result in an immediate exile.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. All other ranks are important to the force and are necessary for success. Do not ever ask for a promotion because you will not be given it. Promotions are for those who quietly make a name for themselves with their skills, and intelligence. If you persevere you will be rewarded.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. When defending the base you are to not flame under any circumstance. A flame is any insult to the enemy or to your fellow Spartans. Patrol the walls of the settlement and defend your country.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. Address HRs as 'Sir', or 'Kupie', the Greek word for sir.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7. Grammar. Well, we are not known for our education so grammar is not that important. This does not mean you can spam CAPS and all that nonsense. Keep it understandable and you will do fine.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8. Wear your uniform at all times while on duty and in the presence of other Spartans. When on duty the proper rank and pants is necessary. When off duty you can resume your regular clothing. Practicing at SFOTH with the uniform means that you represent Lacedaemon, that means following all the rules. When not representing Lacedaemon their is no need to follow the rules.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Activity is important. Attend as many trainings as possible so that you can rank up. Always check the group shout for important updates and such.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10. Honor these rules no matter what. Failure to comply with these rules and following them will result in a demotion. If you do it again that will result yourself into an exile from the group.

Section One, Article B: Basic Rules and Guidelines
1. Failure to follow orders, or complete disregard of command is subject for exile.
2. Disrupting a group event is cause for punishment.
3. Killing an ally or visitor is cause for punishment.
4. Raiding or betraying the group is cause for exile.
5. Spying on our group for another group is cause for exile.
6. Disrespect for a trainer or high ranks is cause for punishment.
7. Flaming is banned.
8. All Roblox rules are to be followed, on risk of exile.
Section One, Article C: Battle Protocol
This is very important, this will be a life saving part in open battle. Follow this protocol no matter what.

- "Return with your shield, or on it. No retreat. This is the Spartan Way"

This motto represents the fight and fire of Lacedaemon. We do not give up. In your training you will learn to fight well but that is no use if you cannot follow orders.

-The King always leads the raid, if he is not absent then the Ephori. If they are gone no one is raiding.

-Send scouts before a raid so that you can become familiar with the terrain and you will achieve victory.

-I cannot STRESS how much this is important, DO NOT RETREAT. We do not leave the server until everyone single Spartan is being spawn killed, otherwise we fight until victory.

- Follow orders in spite of your selfish ambitions and regards. Failure to do this not only puts yourself in danger but also your comrades and brothers.

- When attacking a larger force, split your army into two. When attacking a smaller force, surround them to ensure victory. When attacking and equal force, take a direct attack.

-When you enter the server wait for the commanding officer and his orders. Never charge the enemy without him. Unless instructed to of course.

- The five keys to victory are this. "Moral Law, Heaven, Earth, The Commander, and Method and Discipline."

-Moral Law is obeying your superior. This will achieve order.

-Heaven signifies cold and hot, night and day. Things you cannot control.

- Earth comprises of distance, great and small;danger and security; open ground and narrow passes, the chances of life and death. Send scouts before a raid to get to know the terrain so that you can properly plan.

-The Commander stands for the virtues of wisdom, sincerity, benevolence, courage, and strictness.

-Method and Discipline are to be understood as the obedience in the ranks. Always stick to the orders of the superior. I CANNOT STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF ORDER IN THE RANKS. ALL REBELLION WILL BE EXILED.

Follow these rules and victory is certain!
