Introducing Beyond Narratives
We Invite You to Share Your Experiences
As Britannica continues to innovate in a world where fact and fiction collect ever more rapidly, we’ve embarked on a mission to elevate global conversations and curate noteworthy voices. We invite you to join our community of narrators, so you can help too.
Today, we’re creating Beyond Narratives, a new forum that enables lifelong learners to explore their curiosities and share their experiences. The best Narratives often start with a single idea. We want to share your stories that have changed the way you see the world.
Britannica covers thousands of categories of content. And we’re constantly looking to expand. We’re in search of thought-provoking personal essays that explore relevant and current social issues as well as what’s new and trending in politics, economics, and education. We also welcome well-researched papers on scientific and historical topics, events of global importance, and more.
So, please, share your Narratives with us and become part of the Britannica family.

Law & Government
The world today is divided territorially into more than 190 countries, each of which possesses a national government that claims to exercise sovereignty and seeks to compel obedience to its will by its citizens.
