Fits in with 'Lazarus' (in the 'Holy Land', Lazaus being two characters in the bible), its got a more historical element than just having a Christian themed region, and we could even get a bit more specific (make it Templars or something ) Plus, it'd be really fun to write 'Deus Vult!' at the end of all official announcements

They have a strong independent streak with lots of natonal pride while also being a combination of different cultures. Admittedly, it might not fit the defender theme that well, but I personally really like the idea of "armed neutrality."

Now I say secret society but understand I believe nothing of importance should be hidden from the general population of the region. But it would be cool to have some kind of "brotherhood" in which you can rank up given particular activity goals, and then every time you reach a new rank you will be able to partake in a secret "ritual" in which no one but the people that are of that rank or higher know about (will people stay committed to this?). The ranks would have no bearing on your ability to hold office other than a higher rank would show greater commitment to the region. Any government structure you want can be worked into the idea. I suppose this loosely goes along with the "underground" which could cover a variety of things.

I have nver written a constitution before. Of course I would credit funkadelia with whatever I used.

We could go in so many directions with it. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_Templar

I feel like a theme related to resurrection but not so much to "underworld" -- which is more death than resurrection -- may be appropriate. I'm trying to think of ways to incorporate the phoenix into the theme because that seems to be a constant throughout Lazarene history, or at least as constant as anything is. While I like the idea of a revolutionary United States theme, in general, I don't like it for Lazarus. I don't really see how it fits what this region is at all. The nationalist theme, by itself, is very meh to me, and combined with colonialism I really hate it. Even if it's voluntary colonialism, anything that will draw attention away from this community and toward other regions isn't going to be sustainable in the long run.
