A MUD is a virtual world, so yes, it's more like a country than anything else, and the same rules apply. The reason most MUDs fail is because they do not realize this.

Freedom of speech has little to do with democracy, contrary to popular belief, and democracy may in fact be prohibitive of free speech in the long run. Democracy has been a total failure because wisdom is not cumulative.

If you can't have freedom at the expense of others this means you have no freedom at all, unless you lock yourself up in your closet and whisper softly.

Most jungle MUDs fail because they lack territorial and self defense principles that would allow the players self governance.

I don't oppose your right to ban players either, selection is a natural process. Prohibition however is based on self deception, and inherently evil.
