And lo, a new world did emerge from the ashes of the old. A realm unlike any that had come before, where man was free to live and roam as he pleased. No longer were there noblemen and peasants, but rather sovereign individuals who held the power to govern themselves. It was the tools of sovereignty that came to the fore, as men and women everywhere sought to break free from the chains of congress, presidents, prime ministers, kings, councils, and parliament. A period known as the age of nation-state devolution.
