Their shape
The Republic
Run by its members, built to outlast them.
The Republic runs like a well-built institution, professional and stable, under the guidance of its members. Its gift is scale and continuity, its challenge is staying close to the grassroots as it grows.
Also reads toward The Legacy and The Village.
