Civitas is an ancient Roman concept which recognizes that a political entity and its citizens are not simply a collection of individuals governed by the rule of law and taken care of administratively but a “community of destiny” that must be held together by a shared ethos and communal practices. The Romans believed that the long term success of any political community depended on its ability to sustain and develop its own particular set of political beliefs.

Our history of sharing is of many years,and even today we share many things between us —memories, emotions, friendliness, and enmities. We also share borders marked by barbed wire,where you often hangthe bullet-pierced bodies of our Felanis.
