I think the best explanation for the Gorean political arrangements and attitudes is to be found in the institution of the Home Stone. - (Fighting Slave of Gor, Chapter 11, Sentence #421)

Total warfare, with its arming of millions of men, and its broadcast slaughter of hundreds of populations, is Gorean neither in concept nor in practice. Goreans, often castigated for their cruelty, would find such monstrosities unthinkable. Cruelty on Gor, though it exists, is usually purposeful, as in attempting to bring, through discipline and privation, a young man to manhood, or in teaching a female that she is a slave. I think the best explanation for the Gorean political arrangements and attitudes is to be found in the institution of the Home Stone. It is the Home Stone which, for the Gorean, marks the center. I think it is because of their Home Stones that the Gorean tends to think of territory as something from the inside out, so to speak, rather than from the outside in. Consider again the analogy of the circle. - (Fighting Slave of Gor)
