The wiki is very close to a Constitutional Democracy. We have made policies that we base our actions and decisions on, rather being arbitrary or having an "anything goes" mentality. User's have rights that are protected and cannot be stripped just because a majority wills it. Everyone contributes, everyone (should) be treated equally with equal say, and the "higher" officials are voted in.
