EVE is part of a recent trend towards Dark Fantasy/Sci-Fi in game settings. EVE is supposed to be nihilistic and cruel - that is part if its charm! |

Well, considering the number of ships destroyed every day it still probably numbers in millions.

Any Battlefleet admiral would love to try out his Nova Cannon on Jita IV - 4s undock zone. 
But the posters are correct, compared to the Warhammer 40k universe, New Eden is a picknick, a bloody picknick but still a picknick.

Assuming they can get to those escape pods from their location in the ship within 2 minutes. Otherwise millions die daily to insurance fraud alone.  |

You let your targets get away in escape pods? I kill every building in the area and leave nothing behind. especially if fighting the amarr.

EVE certainly commands a lot more risk than most MMOs, but those links you do establish with people you're willing to turn your back on, the bonds are usually tight.
That was just my take on it.
In the event of an emergency, my ego may be used as a floatation device.

I actually only just came across this very article two days ago, and I wonder now as I did then: in what way is the Federation hopelessly corrupt? I can easily see it as slow to act and often having its priorities confused, but corruption isn't something I've perceived in the government beyond any current real-world democracy. Not exactly crapsack material, really.
If anyone can help me out, I'd actually appreciate it. I don't want to be too optimistic about the Federation. Being blindsided is no fun.

Life on a small scale is probably no worse than life here on Earth right now. People have jobs, friends and family, entertainment. Some will be wealthier than others, and I daresay that for a large chunk of New Eden the living quality would more than qualify for "comfortably middle class" in a modern Western nation. For trillions of people, the wars, corruption and all that other nastiness will be a long, long way away - something to be seen on the news, but never experienced. Most likely, the only things distinguishing the lives of any two random civilians would be customs, architecture, and which retail chains they buy their food and consumer electronics from.
hell, even the majority of slaves probably don't get it that bad - food, shelter and family, and the only thing they need to do to secure tenure is work. |

I very much enjoy my stay in New Eden.
My Nyx is very roomy, top of the line climate system and the light cycles aboard it is second to none.
With the new hydroponics bays and a couple new kitches, the food has lately improved significantly.
I am constantly surrounded by people thats eager to obey me.
You cant go wrong with blind obedience.

Some alleged democracies are constitutional monarchies rather than republics.
Also, don't confuse the two descriptive axes here — republic and democracy are not mutually exclusive.
Republic is the opposite of monarchy and the two sit on the axis that describes the head of state of the country: is (s)he elected or is the position hereditary.
Democracy is the opposite of dictatorship, and this pair describes who decides on the country's leadership: the people (through various mechanisms) or a single person.
Between the two, you can have any number of combinations: democratic republics, democratic monarchies, dictatorial republics, dictatorial monarchies, and combinations of the various shades inbetween. |

Pure democracy tends to get severely unwieldy beyond populations of one. Democracy in practice tends to be less about your individual voice than it is finding a group of people (the Party) that represents a best fit (aka compromise), with the occassional bout of individuality on matters that really get in your craw.
In that sense, democratic governments, despite appearing superficially undemocratic, are still considered such, because you, the individual, have the freedom to not tow the party line when it suits you. |
