Your own nation

[Deckerd]

In my fantasy world, drugs wouldn't do the body any harm. Humans would be modified so alcohol was beneficial to the liver. It would be a big party with an odd work day thrown in, just for a bit of contrast.

Now you probably had to do this in school, but this time go all out.
If you could create a nation of your own design what would it be like.
How would you structure your nation?(Citys, small town, Advanced futuristic flying cars)
What would your government system look like?
What would your education standards be?
Whats your two languages, do you only have two?
I will share my design in the end.

This is a great question, and one I actually posed to someone recently. What I came up with myself is pretty detailed, but I will try to explain it all in one post, if possible. Here goes...

The government system I would choose would be a democratic monarchy, somewhat similar to what was depicted on the TV show "Kings"... there would be a King and Queen, but they would be periodically elected into office by the people, and the people would also have the power to oust them, should they begin to govern in ways that are destructive to the well-being of the people and nation. Thus, there would be no "divine right" to lead, nor could a leader assume the throne through simple birthright.

Under this democratic monarchy, would be the governing agencies, or ministries. There would be a single military force, called the Ministry of Arms. There would not be separate individual branches for the Air Force, Navy, Army, Marines, or Space... all would be functions of the single military force.

Healthcare and basic education would be free. If you want to pursue higher education you would have a choice... you can pay for it, or, you can join the military, and the government would pay for your higher education.

The Ministry of Law would control all law enforcement and judicial process of the nation. Penalties for crime would be extremely harsh and clear... for simple petty crimes, the punishments would be at the discretion of the Judges overseeing those individual cases. For crimes involving a lethal weapon, with the intent to kill, punishment would be life in prison. For crimes of rape, crimes against children, or crimes that result in the death of another, punishment would be death. In such death-penalty cases, the Judge would first ask the victim's families what method of lethal punishment they would like selected, and if the family passes on this right, the Judge will impose a punishment of their own choosing. The families may choose whatever form of punishment they like, and may also have the right to personally administer that punishment.

The nation would be decidedly isolationist, and would not seek out relations with others, lest it be to offer humanitarian aid in times of dire need. The nation would be defended like a fortress, with constant naval and air patrols, to protect the population from all threats from all directions. All goods and services and infrastructure would be domestically attained.

The nation would have a zero-tolerance policy on illegal entry. If someone enters the nation illegally, they have two choices... they can earn citizenship by first serving in the military for five years, after which time, they would be granted full citizenship, or they can be deported back to their native land, at the expense of their native government.

Education would be of the utmost importance, and the nation would supply the children with the highest quality of education possible. The national language would be English. There would be no national religion, but the nation would allow for full religious freedom. All agriculture would be domestically attained. There would be no import or export to or from other lands.

The national currency system would be totally independent and isolated from the global exchange. Money would be totally electronic, and would be in the form of points that are carried on a thin metal "credit card". This metal card would be your life's information... it would be your money card, your national ID, and your driver information.

All vehicles would wear a metal license plate, with an embedded barcode. If a police officer pulls you over, all he would have to do, is walk to the license plate, scan the barcode, and the citation would instantly be issued electronically, as your address would be contained in the information accessed via the barcode. This would ensure officer safety, as the officer would not have to directly contact the driver, unless the vehicle reads as stolen, or unless the driver attempts to flee.

Your medical information would also be on the card, so that every time you visit the doctor, as soon as you leave, the receptionist would swipe your card, and all medical files would be automatically updated. If you become involved in an accident, the responding paramedics could instantly access your medical information, by reading your card, en route to the hospital.

There is more, but that is what I have right now... I can post the rest later.

I have a question, isn't that little metal card kinda dangerous to be carrying around with all your information. I mean thats like bread and butter for identity thief's. Even the medical one is dangerous.
Don't get me wrong I understand the reasoning behind it, I almost included it in my own. But I didn't for the reasons above.

I think that would become the new America.
sounds fun.

A really ambitious idea, now that I think of it.

Some initial thoughts:

• Out sourcing of jobs is eliminated/illegal.
• All illegal immigrants will deported; "anchor babies" from two generations will have their status revoked; "Anchor babies" -- an abused law from a whiel back, will be destroyed; this will create a ton of temporary ICE jobs. The border will be sealed up. Just because you were deported, however, does not bar you from applying for temporary work or legal immigration, unless you have a criminal background in Mexico, and any criminal background while here illegally. ALL money being sent to Mexico will be stopped, what will be offered instead is classes in skills and knowledge to better thenselves and fix their own country, so that too can have what one day they can refer to as "The Mexican Dream".
• The policy of assissinating political world leaders, will be lifted. No plans, but I just want that option clearly on the table, lest Beardface thinks we've forgotten about him.
• All youth, between 16 and 21, will be required to do one hour of community service (or farm work -- eliminate illegal aliens holes created by deportation; prisoners watching TV and exercising, will work crops, too) for every one hour of video games they play. The only way out of this is to read a book (classics go on top, though you don't have to re-read what youy've already read).
• Presidential candidates, president, supreme court members, congress, etc -- Three Strikes and YOU'RE OUT. You push an agenda, you bypass the system to get your garbage through, you air a commercial with false statements about your oponent, you say our military are murders and then refuse to apologise for it, YOU'RE GONE, BABY. And don't think you're going home to your rich house, oh no ... you'll be picking cotton on the farm with teenagers who played too much video games. Same will be applied to police -- no more asshole police anywhere. You are legally forbid to re-enter the field again. Also, as an afterthought: mechanics and lawyers.
• No perminent Welfare. Everybody will be given a job; can't afford to move? Then you will be relocated (if we can afford all THIS, than certainly we can better our workers).If you/we have trouble finding you a job, or you just lost it, Welfare will be given.
• If our taxes pay for the roads nad the police salaries, driving is therefore, in my nation, not a "privilage". In today's society, you practically have to have it (depending on where you live or what you do for a living; some don't). Therefore police must pay you a little more respect, and since you own part of the road, you will be required once a year to pick up a little trash. Not much, not for a long period, since everybody driving a car will be required to. You can opt-out of that, but you get switched to road repair.
• No one goes without a home or car, since you have a job, you can have both (as needed), and you can pay them off. Subject to change as I realize any errors in ways here.
• Farewell, Scientology. Mormans -- don't even think about knocking on any more doors uninvited. KKK -- we don't need "your kind" here.
• Speilberg, Lucas -- no more Indy or Star Wars. You can't be trusted anymore. Sorry.
• All overweight, and fat people, you will be required to lose weight. No excuses. If you dont' achieve the weight loss in a reasonable amount of time (you will be given help, and gym access), you will be put into a Fat Camp.
• I want to permaban alcohol, but Prohibition didn't work, so I won't do Prohibition 2.0, I will, however: disallow sales of high volumes to any one individule, or even slightly big amounts, in purchase in timely succession of each other. All bars will have a police officer out side. You will be breath tested before you can drive. Discretion of where you can drive even if you pass (some folks get drunk below the legal limit) will be at that officer's final say.
• As an addendum to a previous entry: if you are a doctor, dentist, some kind of professional in a field poor people are needing help from, but can't afford, you can trade in your road cleaning/work for a day of pro bono work for those in need.
• The DOD has no lines from outside leading into them -- they are self contained. It's unacceptable how many times hackers from China get in.
• All sugar use in candy products (and cereal, and milk, too) will be banned. Stevia will be used instead (that means no use of Aspertane, either). No more getting fat on candy and cola. And this will also mean reduced calories, as a result of sugar removal. Regular sugar will still be aviable for home-cooking projects. I think I've crossed way too many personal invasion of privacy lines as it is, but damnit -- you should be able to bake with sugar in your own home.

Well
1. If your reference to military is not murders is to the U.S, thats actually not true. Our soldiers in every war have done horable things, now war can turn you insane, but our soldiers have been known to kill poeple who aren't even aiming guns at them, how many times have you heard about a drone attack killing innocent people. Not everyone is murders, but some of our military personnel are murders. As a whole no, but some are.
2. not to give an excuse but not everyone is able to lose wieght as easily as the normal everyday person. Plus, you if concentrate on just building muscle, if that person even stops working out for a week, they begin to gain alot of wieght. happens with boxers, wrestlers, body builders.

You have some good ideas, please post anymore you may come up with.

These were general coverage; way too long a post to get into the nit-picky. OF course exceptions will be made for those who bulk up, or those with medical problems that keep them from loosing weight or large tumors (but we will try to help them anyway).


And the military, with that comment, I was thinking of (but couldn't remember the name of at the time of posting), John Murtha. OF course some troops are murderers. I don't think there is a blanket coverage statement for any one group, except maybe the KKK.

 

[tharpdevenport]

Some more general, quick thoughts:

• No restricting bandwidth, denying service to any site (within boundaires of the law; porn sites, sites on how to make nuclear weapons -- off limits), or any presidential "kill" switch in case of "emergency". If China wants to sell goods to us (since we'll be bringing our manufacturing jobs BACK here), they can't block any of our legal sites from their citizens. You either let it all in, or you block ALL of it (which also means no out-of-country inbound e-mails or e-mails from within China sent to the U.S.A.).
• The head of Google needs to step down, the creepy SOB.
• EVERYBODY should be able to read and write (of course not counting those with learning disabilities) at a 12th grade level, minimum. You will be re-tested each year (days before or after the road work). If you pass, you get a tiny bit taken off what you owe for the house, car. I mean tiny, since life expentancy is in the upper 70's, last I heard.
• Sex offenders who deal with child pornography or such websites, will have access to the internet perminently revoked, even outside of their own home. You can still own a computer, but once a year, since you are an offender, your computer(s) will be searched by law enforcement. You are not entitled to the trust you once had, anymore.
  Repeat offenders will be put to death. Hangings, electric chair, gas chamber, maybe gillotene -- are all acceptable means of nullifying you.
• All pork spending will be ENDED, and made illegal. If it has nothing to do with a Bill, it CANNOT be attached to it. Half of the cut pork (probably taking a little over a billion) will be used to find solutions to alternative power and gas (electric-run vehicles, are unacceptable). Bio gas (ethonol), is illegal. It's fucking up cars, and eating up land that other crops would have grown on, and as even National Geographic and another study tells us, uses more energy and gas to create the same amount equilivant to gas, and the use of the farm land reduced certain crops grown, creating a shortage and raise in prices for that product.
• No more crazy world leaders or U.S.A. bashers, like Beardface, coming here and talking at our colleges, universities, so forth. You are not allowed to enter our country unless here for seriuous negotiation (which has to yield something before you leave). If you pull any shit here, guess what: that policy I put back on the table in thge first post, goes into effect immediately.
• NPR will not be subsidised anymore. That's only a noticable fraction of their incoming cash and they will not go under (as I would hope) from the loss, but our tax payer dollars should NOT be going to it or any other radio/TV or paper pushing an agenda like that.
• No more "eminent domain" to seize up people's land/property, to build condos, highways, so forth, without approval of the owner, and you must pay him the fair value -- not what you(Government) deems so.
• We aren't the world's chairty -- we can't solve the world's problems with our cash. We will still help other countries (though I think a national vote should be held on such donation/giving), but the amount given each time will be cut in half. The money saved will be used for infrastructor rebuilding. A bridge in 48 continental states that is in danger of "imminent collapse" (there are an alarming amount rated as such in each state...) that has the highest traffic flow (or greatest drop), will be worked on and repaired, then move on to the next on the list. This will also cover serwer systmes which are breaking apart and flooding streets, even caving in roads; that's just the start of the wave -- this will happened with shocking occurance at some forseeable date.
• Farewell, rap music. Let the door hit you on the way out, P-Diddy.
• No more celebrities going overseas and being buddies with dictators, then coming bakc and idspariging us. Guess what? Your house will be locked and you'll be deported out of our country. Try asking for asylum where you just came from, dickwad...
• There will be levy's (sufficient within reason) for New Orleans (and we're gonna make sure the trash that gave the good parts a bad name, don't come back), and over the years artists working there (like Terrance Blanchard -- or did he not move back from LA after his NO studio was destroyed by Katrina?), will hold events to raise cash. This cash will be used to bring the town up above ocean level (a "over the long haul" project).
• I JUST NOW had this idea -- I'm not inspired by comments from anybody -- it just popped into my head, but it seems interesting: again, we go back to child molestors, this time forcusing on those with videoing. Sure we got them the second time, but how can we reduce (I don't think it's possible to "elliminate") the occurances? Well, some places are using biometric technology to identify people by faces and body. ALL digitial cameras will have a biometric programs in it that can identify when you are filming an under-age child in the nude. All photos of kids done by parents incase their kids are kidnapped, will be fed into a biometric face-recognition program, and if that nude kid is one on the record, and not belonging to the person filiming (I will cut parents some slack, since some think it's "funny" to take pictures of their kids having fun in the tub, so forth, while wearing a birthday suit), the police will immiediately dispatched. A signal from within the camera will activate any nearby cellphone in the house, and triangulation will be used to find you. ALL people will be given the benefit of the doubt, but guilty bastards will not be given a pass. Also, no more child molestors who get only two/three years, while some guy stealing something gets ten -- harsh first sentences for the CM's.
• Bullying in school and in the work place will be taken very seriously. Teachers will be required to actually give a damn and not look the other way. The bullies themselves will find revokes internet/computer/TV/video game privilages. Until you are a certain age (undertermined at the time of this post), they are all a "privilage" (but they can only be revoked in serious instances like bullying -- no whim revokations).
  Bosses who yell, and generally do evil things to their employees, will be cleaning the toilets in prisons while ther prisoners are out picking cotton. They will be denied ability to be in charge of other people again (rare instances this will be lifted for those shown true reform, which at least 80% of the employees under him previously, giving a vote of approval -- HA!).
• Shove off, I.R.S. -- we don't need you around here. I'm not sure at this time what to do about the resulting loss of money. I want to say the Fair Tax, but I'm not sure that would work in my country (which is a reformed U.S.A. -- not a new nation). There's something very, very wrong when every aspect of the complaints, from an episode of "Roseanne" from over 20 years ago, is still 100% ACCURATE (except the ominous three note motif playing in your house randomly).
• As an addendum to a previous entry: If Mexico wants any of it's citizens to become citizens here, then they must STOP ALL HYPOCRITICAL COMPLAINTS, also they must go on the air and their president publically apologize, and state -- for the record -- what their laws on immigration are...
• If you get caught entering Mexico/Canada illegally, guess what? We're not going to come rescue you. Yes, I know what the Mexican prisons are like, but you rolled the dice, now it's time to pay the bookie. Same goes for any other country.
• One state will not be the deciding factor, just because of pressing issues, what are text books say. In fact, accurate, up-to-date information, with no political bias, will be required for ALL text books -- a uniform book for all 50 states (with appropriately different sections, depending on state -- like state background).
• If after the first year of high school you don't want to take algebra, or learn Europe out of the ass, you can elect to OPT OUT of them. You will be required, however, to know basics about each -- nothing complicated (can't divide two fractions? That's okay). If you didn't give a shit, or learn the first year, second year, third year, fourth year, or even in college, then there's no reason to waste your time further. This will also reduce class sizes so the teachers can better focus the the students trying to get it. If you OPT OUT, you have to take something else, or spend that time -- on campus -- bettering yourself in some way (exercise, reading, learing a trade, writing -- something). All students will be required for at least one year to take the arts (art, music, creative writing). If you fail a class that you chose to take (like foreign language), you can take the second semester of any of those art classes you attended in the first place, and gain credit. We need to bring the arts back into our country, instead of deleting them and promoting kicking around a football (though if you want to kick around a football, by all means).
• Copyright Laws will be changed/amended. People's lives will not be destroyed by the RIAA over some crappy music. Violaters will, however, not be given a free pass. I'm not sure what to do with them, but I have general ideas expressed before: revokation of internet access/computer use; if you are a serious offender, internet use to revoked for five years, and computer use becomes a "privilage" for an equel amount, since we lost your trust.
• The Wikileaks site will be re-directed to YouTube. Go watch something funny, like THIS. Same with pron sites, and any site that comprises our security or the lives of informats overseas.
• Neal Boortz for president. Just kidding. ;-)
• Sorry churches/recruiters: the majority of your pamplets and cards left lying around bathrooms, grocery stores, parks, libraries, etc -- are unsolicated, and littering. The tax payers pay for it. You'll be fined per card/booklet found, with ultimately a search madeto find who did it. As a side note, churches cannot aid illegal alines, or criminals, or give aid & comfort for the enemy, within any of the 50 states. We will come in there, we will take them, and you will be fined.
• First instance KJbushway will no doubt disagree with (can't have a perfect pleasing post, can we now?): English is the official language of the U.S.A.; important forms, applications, political advertising, TV/radio commercials, food products -- English only, no Spanish/French/Chinese or other translations. You have to know it. You cannot get a job and expect the employer to struggle to communicate with you, or you struggle to understand the English speaking individule. You can still speak your own language -- this isn't the mind police here, but English is the official language of the land. And since you can speak/read it, translations will not be necessary...
• Voter fraud is going to be dealt with much, much, much more seriously, and anybody -- like the SEIU -- that is in bed for some party or candidate, will NOT be allowed to service elections or work on the machines and/or counting of votes.

What does that mean? I said you had good ideas like everyone else, you have good ideas in the one above.

 

[tharpdevenport]

Off the absolute main discussion: but it's not always popular on a board seemingly more than half-way populated by leftists, so I thought for sure you'd disagree...



All these ideas are subject to change, pending further contemplation, and were all done on the fly after hitting "Reply". And as the end credits to "Spaceballs" says: "So there".

 

[BolianAuthor]

I have a question, isn't that little metal card kinda dangerous to be carrying around with all your information. I mean thats like bread and butter for identity thief's. Even the medical one is dangerous.
Don't get me wrong I understand the reasoning behind it, I almost included it in my own. But I didn't for the reasons above.

No, that's a very valid and good question, thanks for asking. The only solution I could give to that question would be that obviously, it would be encrypted with a PIN or some form of user-defined password. Obviously, the government would also encode the cards to recognize the readers used by emergency responders such as paramedics, so that they could access only your vital medical information, should they need to.

I'm a left libertarian anarchist/mutualist, but it would be hard to resist the temptation to become a dictator (benevolent of course) if given the chance.

Oh no this is a government of your own design, my opinion doesn't matter. Yes, I gave it but I equalled when I said you had good ideas. I had some of your ideas in my nation description, just in different words.

• Some kind of system, whether in person, or online, will be developed to where you (and you only, much like encrytped passwords in databases which sites cannot retrieve themselves) will be able to check to make sure your vote was not only counted, but also it wasn't changed over, to say Harry Reid, or some other candidate you did NOT vote for.
• ALL persons wearing their pants down so far you can see their butt crack and underwear, like some kind of dumbass rapper wannabe who isn't aware of where that originates from, will be fined for indecency.
• People who install speakers in their cars to pump out loud-ass, neighborhood-defening rap music, will see their insurance rates hiked up; you can't hear emergency vehicles over that, especially after a few minutes of it and your ears become "full", and you certainly can't hear other cars honking or people warning you about anything that might be happening. You are also a public nusance and disturbing the peace. You will be required to remove it from your car. You will be fined every month it is not done so; jail time will follow after half a year. Those who specifically make this, catering to this crowd, will find it illegal to sell them inside the U.S.A..
• After the ecominic fix, and pork cutting, I think ... think we might be in a position to raise minimum wage. How much, I cannot say. But I will say it will be a sliding scale, depending on age. Young? No skills? Not yet experienced the value of working hard for a living? You don't get paid highly. Pay increase with age, and employers -- as always -- have the option to give you a raise as you prove your value. If you get older and are trying to supplement Medicare/Social Security, we will certainly not allow places like Wal-Mart to hire you at minimum wage -- you gave over half your life and youth to work -- you deserve better; you are not alive to work your life away, and only live once!
• Something, though I don't have any of my own ideas at present, will be done to fix/reform/destroy and replce Medicare and Social Security.
• Oh, and I'd just like to say, since I destroyed the I.R.S. in an earlier posting, lottery winnings are tax free, so ... play the lotto -- it helps go toward school systems (though reportedly not so much these days).
• Offshore drilling will be allowed. All states fighting it, will be told to "fuck off" and we will build rigs. No more deep sea drilling, bringing up the cost of oil, and danger toward workers and the environment over large spills. Sorry Alaska, your wildlife will have to "get over" the pipeline and drilling. This will only be for some kind of "short term", since as I stated in another post, alternative engery will be our #1 priority. After that, ALL OFFSHORE (off OUR shore) oil purchases will cease & desist. Our money will no longer go toward our enemies, countries that hate us, and those who laugh give aide to our enemy. We will be able to meet the demand for oil needs inside out country, with offshore and in-country drilling for products that need oil to be manufactured, and cars and lawn equipment that still require oil. An effort will be made to relace all that with new items that use the new alternative energies found, and we will try our best to find ways to make those products without oil. If not possible -- that's okay -- we got enough oil under our ground and shore to sustain us and NEVER AGAIN purchase from another country.
• ALL the temporary ICE workers hired, will not lose their job; those wishing to leave can leave if they want to. Half will be put along the southern border (with encouragemnent from Canada to help cease illegal immigration on the northern border), then most the other half will receive training to operate on shipping and cargo vessels, and they will be armed-to-the-teeth and given the necessary skills to defend the ships, and destroy pirates. Maybe also some vessels sent out specifically to hunt them down. The remaining few will continue to clean up stobborn illegals still hiding in the U.S.A., once that is achieved -- which should take quit a while -- they will them be put -- at their option -- along the Canadian border. Maybe switch out members from the other two places, who want to go north.
• Addendum to an earlier entry: No more "Wet foot, dry foot". No one from another country gets to be a citizen just because they stepped onto our land. They'll get a free medical check up, food & supplies, and sent back home (by some of our priate hunting troops) to Cuba or where ever they came from. If you want your country to be better, amass and over throw your leader. Many Americans died to free ourselves from the British. We didn't just "hope", we fought.
• Earth will eventually run out of room, food, water, and patience. We will need another planet. NASA will be funded properly, wasteful eploits like a return to the moon, or another adjunct to the/or any future space station, will be stopped. Serious goals for power sources and craft capabable or near-reaching or achieving light speed, will be given full attention, and staff will use the resources they have (more if necessary) to expidite finding other planets possibly habbitable.

Half will be put along the southern border (with encouragemnent from Canada to help cease illegal immigration on the northern border), then most the other half will receive training to operate on shipping and cargo vessels, and they will be armed-to-the-teeth and given the necessary skills to defend the ships, and destroy pirates.

Good ideas, I think I added a no sag pants law in mine if I didn't I meant to. I hate those loud speakers, so I agree with that, and I gotta add it to my own. I think its about time someone had the idea to protect ships from modern day pirates. I think people would love a no tax on the lotto.

My country's design is this.
It would be called Federation Star Empire.
My government would be a little weird, First I would be the ultimate ruler, I would have ultimate say in every issue.
My country would be of a small town design, you would have your homes, then like two blocks away would be the school's, hospitals.
two blocks away from that would be the actual town, you would have your small shops(NO FREAKING WALMARTS!!!), small restaurants, and little corner stores.
There would be cities they would just be 20 miles from the towns.
In order to be a town it as to be at least 500-1,000 people
Every 15 towns there would be a people elected president who would control the functions of the town within the law of the land, would make decisions for the people, and would be the speaker of the people to me.
My country would be none monetary, which means that things wouldn't cost anything, people would get paid for anything.
The system would work:
First people get free health care(hospitals would be the largest building, taking up most of the land)
Everyone would have a home(no homeless)
However, in order to get the luxury in life you have to have a job, or the children are getting a higher education if the parents are out of a job.
For those who are lazy and don't work have their food brought to them, they don't even have a computer or TV, and they are not allowed to enter any form of outside entertainment. So basically if you didn't want to work you would be bored out of your mind until you gave in and worked.
Your home would represent the amount of people in your family plus one. People may also build there own home(doesn't require a court grant) or add on via a court grant.
There would be a birth limit law of 2 per family.
Our education system would be year around, but with the vacations off.
It would be k-13.
With your 13 year be one that you study your dream job.
There is no such thing as associates degree, just specific degree like Dr.
I would as a rule put condoms in high school near the nurses office, and the sex ed program would be more helpful, and I wouldn't just say preach non-sex as birth control.
Churches wouldn't be built, you want religion organized start a book club in your own house.
The science programs would be highly advanced.
Our space program would be highly advanced.
Our military advancement would be based on research into more protective gear for troops.
I would have heavy infantry troops, light infantry troops,
navy, air force, and a sort of star fleet.
A separate place would be saved for retires, it would be nice and climate controlled.
Retirement would be age 40. 35 with court grant.
Transportation to the city would be by fast train, in the city would have train routes all over.
You are allowed to have old gas cars but your engine would have to have a Eco-fuel attachment.
All cars would be electric and would be free.
Teenagers can get an early license if they have a job after school, which they can only keep with a b average.
License age is 18. with permit age at 16.
You can get your own used(only) car with your early license with consent of the parent(s) and a job after school.
No restaurants like McDonald's, Wendy, KFC, ETC.
Farmer would have their own towns.
There would be a national green week, where everyone in a town would gather around and clean up the streets and woods surrounding. At the end of the week there would be a huge Barbecue with a menu for non-meat eaters.
There would be a federation science and engineering sectors along with
a civilian based science and engineering sector.
There would be a constitution and a bill of rights, there would be harsher punishment of sex-offenders than there would be for minor drug crimes. There would be a death penalty but only for the worse crimes. There would be a prisoner turn around programs.
There is no 2ND amendment, but people are allowed to carry safer tazers guns and any other safety items created. Police would have guns, but it would only work if there hand was around the grip.(rubber and stun bullets)
Cops would walk around the streets along with cruising around in cars.
Well thats my country. any questions and i will help answer them.
There is more I just have mental blocks sometimes.

Few more adjustments:
Two languages no exceptions= Latin(1st)-English(2nd)
Tourism would be separate and there would be translators, but if you wanted to enter the country permantely you need to go to a vocational class, it free like everyone else.
Langauge classes are allowed in high school, but on product tags, it would only be latin or english.
There would not be churches, people can run them from their houses, but they can't advertise it through channels, but there will be a religious channel were they can. Religion and government are separate, that does't mean people who are religious can't run for positions.
Theres probably more but mental blocks again.

Few more ideas.
Kids will be supplied with their own desk-top computers. The parents have the password for internet. By the time the get to high school, they will still have that same desk-top only to be traded for a new high school one.
There is no commercials anymore, there is a channel were you can watch commercials, but its subject and you choose.

Would a non-monetary system work in todays world? or would it take future tech like that of star trek for it to work?

KJbushway, six of the last seven posts in this thread have all been by you, and you resurrected a thread that had clearly died off almost three months ago to add a couple of extra lines. In addition, you've been hitting notify on numerous threads for inane reasons or no reason at all (in your own words), including another thread in Miscellaneous. It's best not to attract so much negative attention to yourself.

As a result, you've earned an infraction for spamming. Comments to PM.

I don't know what got into you today, but please don't do this again. This topic is closed.
