"Demarchic bodies would be much less responsive to vested interests. Any given individual would have a limited term of office, and would have less to gain from serving a special interest. Political machines would not be able to groom loyal candidates for office because, with random selection, no one knows who will be chosen."

Brian Martin

Demarchy, also known as Sortition or Stochocracy, is a political system where leaders are chosen at random from a pool of candidates. It was originally used in Ancient Athens before being replaced by Democracy. In the modern age, demarchy is mostly limited to jury duty.

How To Draw

Demarchy's shape is that of a dice, making it the only cube-shaped ideology not explicitly associated with Jewish ideologies like Zionism or Kahanism.

1. Draw a cube.
2. Color it with the same color palette as Democracy; blue, green and red.
3. Draw in dots like a dice.
4. If the "1" face is visible, replace the dot with an eye.
5. You're done.
