# Your Role as Founder

The founder is the initiator of the community. Without a founder, no community exists. The founder is the one who intends to create new societies, proposes a set of initial values, and gathers people interested in joining the society. 

There are no rules about what your society should look like, but you must be able to attract others with your idea. If you succeed, someday you may be remembered as founder of a new nation.
