Names mean little. It is the system of Ultramar, which is most based upon a latin civilization, not simply Rome that removes the idea of names. The system could be called Baal, Cadia, or Terra and the system would remain the same.Ultramar is Ultramar not because of names, but because of their values and culture.

No, a true Democracy has never existed. That is true. As for Athens, their democracy consisted of slave owners and the upper class making all of the decisions: in which never benefited any but themselves. Ultramar is not a democracy. It an Oligarchy with the values of its culture based upon fairness and hard work. It is a governing system in which has little to no corruption as the corrupt are removed and replaced with others who can and will do the job as efficently and fairly as possible. It is also influenced by the Ultramarines chapter, whom effectively moniter Ultramar politics to ensure the system is fair and just.

In my personal opinion, birth and money mean little. No matter who you are born to, or how much money you have, we are all guaranteed an end: death. As for social standing, I have never been considered above the poverty line. However, it will not alter or change whatever hand fate decides to deal me. With hard work and fairness I will succeed. And from personal experience as well as from my knowledge, birth and money mean nothing.
