    It wouldn't be a republic, it'd be like a complete mockery of the roman empire where it's got none of the historic achievements, developments, or basic functioning civic society, infrastructure, or bureaucracy to maintain it, but be everything bad about it cranked up to 11. And whichever poor gamer becomes emperor is gonna get assassinated in the most embarrassing and accidental methods by everyone around him ankle biting their way to the crown in an endless crab bucket session. Bread and games will be replaced with doritos and league. The water pipes will be made out of lead, which funny enough is probably the only thing that they get exactly right in their recreation of the roman empire, but will pipe an acidic poisonous cocktail of mountain dew, G-fuel, and guacamole gamerfart 9000. The Patrician caste will be made up of streamers and the plebian caste will be made up of wanna-be streamers, and the slave cast will be a mixture of people who become parents because the empire is ran by adult children and 3rd world serfs wearing metal parts and aluminum foil being forced to say robot things like they're musks robots. It would be ready player one without any of the virtual world computer bullshit crossed over with idiocracy but somehow the citizens of 'the republic of gamers' make the people of idiocracy come off as reasonable people in comparison. All politics is banned because we don't want politics in out videogames but we'll be completely myopic to the usual shit we whine about when given a shiny enough toy like the hit TTRPG turned into a vidiyagaem Heimdallr Bridge 69 or hit rougue-laek oubliette-crawler Ploútōn with it's soon-to-be-released sequal Ploútōn 2. If you do include politics in your videogames we will shit outselves trying to cancel you for exposing us to eldritch Lovecraftian concepts beyond our grasp, like women and feelings! Also we have several political factions, ignore the part where we said all politics is banned, where we are constantly at internal war against ourselves. These factions range from capital G gamer sweatlords, casuals, weebs, Vtubers, furries, MLP stans, people who enjoy LARPing WW2 a bit too much, facebook gamers, phone gamers, and gamers who deny the fact they're gamers and swear a blood oath to dunk on gamers for being gamers despite being gamers themselves. Generally speaking, everyone other than the sweatlords and those WW2 larpers who seem to enjoy being the bad guys a bit too much, actually don't do any internal warring or anything but tend to keep to themselves, but because I am a sweatlord who enjoys WW2 Larping, I like making sure they all feel included in our conflicts whether they really want to or not.

    Well time for another round of gaming. See you on Battlefield, Gamer!

    The actual game Battlefield btw, I'ma send you a Vapour invite so we can smurf some plebs on Shiver Stream Live

      My eyes glazed over and I had a Lovecraftian vision of Hell before I was halfway done reading this. You've written high-tier cosmic horror. I might've soiled myself.
