For the time being, consider this seperate to Proto's idea. I'm yet to have some things confirmed.

If an EoFF world were to be created, would you like to be a leader? You would be the leader of a region with an independent government. If so, please fill out the following with your own details.

Name: Your name, obviously. Screenname, real name, political name, whatever. Preferrably the name that you're most well known as.
Government Type: Dictatorship? Monarchy? Democracy? Something else?
Name of Region: What you would name your region.
Values: The things that you believe in. This can include stuff like religion, happiness, freedom or anarchy.
Against: You can leave this blank if you like, but I figure some people would like to list a few things.
Plans: What you intend on doing once you become leader. Or at least, what you want people to think you intend on doing.
Propoganda: Anything you might want to add to convince people that you're someone they'd like to have as a leader.

Name: Baloki Noar, BakaNeko the 2<sup>nd</sup>
Government Type: Ex-Monarchy now running as a Democracy
Ancient times passed with the island of Atlantica completely secluded from all that surrounded it. Much mystery and legend grew up of what Atlantica might be, and who may reside there, with the local population oblivious to the outside world. During this period Atlantica was a full blown monarchy with the Noar family passing the flame of fairness and equality down through the generations. Then one day an outsider of the island found their way here, from then on Atlantica was launched into an international arena dodgely making its way through the fun and games that is international politics. During this time they built up a democratically elected government which became the lead in all international affairs while the Monarchy dealt with all home front affairs.
Name of Region: Atlantica, with the capital of Amphoria
Atlantica is a highly technologically advanced country, although it does have a center of Magical Specialisation, the old arts are considered less important. With an airship dock, and space launch area based in the capital, Amphoria, Atlantica strives to keep abreast and ahead in all but the most mainstream technoligical activities.
Values: As the leader of Atlantica we believe in peace through democratic methods and see war as a last resort, we also believe in freedom of speech, Democracy and a free trade community.
Against: We have signed the international Walrus Treaty which means that we will help keep Walrus numbers up and Avril numbers down, we also have not one Mcdonalds resturant in our fair island.
Plans: I don't want to become world leader, I'm content with my own island.

Name: Devin

Government Type: Democracy, though of course, all democracies need checks and balances, so it would a democracy in the style of a Town Meeting whereas any and all can attend all meetings of law making and can have their say, with also a court system and Constitution that has been voted on by all citizens. All elected Presidents would be allowed only one 5 year term and THAT's it.

Name of Region: Serenity

Values: Actually attempting to get all citizens to vote, so that the actual majority will be heard. At the same time however, a free press, one completed uninvolved with any form of government so that the citizens can receive unbaised news and reports. Besides that, a universal healthcare system, a volunteer army used only to defend ones home but never for globalization, colonies, and the like, a fairly open trade market, though somewhat restricted to prevent complete monopolies, a well funded education system, as well as research system to continually push forward progress.

A very progressive tax system hoping to give money from those who have it in abundance to those who might be struggling. At the same time, two very important additions to this system would include: a security system for those who do make money so that they won't have to worry about losing everything they have so long as they pay their taxes into the system, and also a very determined social works committee who will continually push for jobs for those who don't have it, improved living conditions and the like.

As for the taxes themselves, there would NEVER be any sort of shrine or monument building as to me, it is seen as a waste of money and also a way of pushing one's superiority over others. Instead, taxes would be devoted entirely back to the people. Bonuses for bosses of companies and leaders of office would be prohibited because it would be expected that they'd be doing the best they can from the start.

An open debate for the citizens to voice their opinion and allow for actual interaction between everyone. There wouldn't be any classified information unless it is utterly needed, for instance, if there is clear evidence of conspiracy or corruption. If anyone in power is found to have committed perjury of any kind, they must be expected to resign based upon a vote by the citizens.

Finally, freedom of speech, religion, and assembly within reason. Any assembly used to promote hate, a la` the KKK is not tolerated. Guns are outlawed unless needed in times of war. Sports and other outdoor activity is encouraged as well as travel to meet new people and broaden one's horizons. There will be no death penalty, but those who commit acts of murder, genocide, rape and those of harsh nature will be locked away, to watch home movies of the people who's lives they've ruined or ended. If they can prove that they can function as a human being, they may be paroled, but if they are caught attempting another crime of the same nature, they will be locked away forever with no chance at parole.

That being said, cops, doctors, teachers, wardens, firefighters, scientists and the like will make the highest salaries, whilst other occupations such as actors, athletes, singers and the like won't be paid such insanely high amounts for jobs that while, yes are very important, do not effect as many directly.

Against: ultimate authroity by the government, mob rule, hatred, oppression, and lies. Any such act that can be deemed to cause hatred or hurt someone for no reason will be dealt with harshly.

Plans: Attempt to create a society that gives the power into the hands of the individual and the people, and attempt to present them with the best possible situations to make the best choices and decisions.

Propaganda: No need for it, as hopefully each person will believe in themselves and make their choices wisely and justly.

Idealistic I suppose, but it's what I believe in.

Take care all.

Name: Flying Mullet
Government Type: Dictatorship - but a nice kind of dictator
Name of Region: Mulletopia, a small quiet seculded island where people can relax and be at peace
Values: Parties, having a good time, chillin', politeness
Against: Stress, work, impatience, pushy people, rudeness
Plans: Mulltopia would have to ba a small island to work. Mulletopia is a place where the locals like to party and relax and do anything that's related to the ocean and the beach. So a typical day in Mulletopia would be sleeping in, then maybe doing some swimming, scuba diving, boating, whatever, followed by kicking back by the beach with a brew and laughing the evening/night away with good music and good friends. The rules are stiff though. You cause problems with the tranquil, friendly vibe of the island and we'll just throw you to the sharks, literally.

<b>Government Type</b>: Limited republican meritocracy / academiarchy.
<b>Name o' Region</b>: Zhem.
<b>Values</b>: The appeasement of all citizens, peace and prosperity, balances between minorities and majorities, the good of the people, the earth and the nation, rehabilitation and preventative policies on social problems. Oh, and education.
<b>Against</b>: Anarchy and authoritarianism, complete disregard of others, in a monkey-scratch kind of way.

<b>Propaganda</b>:
Zhem is losely based on my Shaem, but nevermind that. The nation is borne upon a policy of appeasement - everyone is kept happy, so they don't go nuts and kill everyone. Basically this entails heavy social programs and spending.
The government is an elected council divided into different branches that control certain thingies. Y'know, like diplomacy branch and healthcare branch. The councillors are chosen from a pool of academics and people who know how to do stuff, like doctors or even carpenters or architects. I don't know how they choose who's elligible for election, though. Thinking of that.

You'll have to pick one, good Sir Nait.

EDIT: On a sidenote, it always amuses me when people say they are against homophobia. Homophobia isn't always (well, to be technical, it should never be) the hatred of homosexuals but the fear of homosexuals or homosexuality. I'm a self proclaimed homophobe, but I have some good friends who are gay. I just fear homosexuality.

Sounds like an interesting concept, but is it wise to put the burden on people who will work, and make them carry people who do not? If folks are allowed to sit back and collect food and meals anyway, what's the incentive for anyone to work at all?

Sure personal advancement could be a just cause, but if you can survive without work, I'd be wary of laziness taking over.

Just a thought. Still, I very interesting idea.

Take care all.

Very true, but im counting on the human urge to always be better than someone else. Any beileve me if you had no computer, and television, and only the basic needs and u saw somebody with money and didnt have to eat the same government issued meals every 7 days you'd work... This is just a safety measure for those who may live on the streets or in stricken poverty... I always beileved it was the job of the government to take care of the people, that live in the country, when they cant/wont take care of themselves.

For the time being, consider this seperate to Proto's idea. I'm yet to have some things confirmed.

If an EoFF world were to be created, would you like to be a leader? You would be the leader of a region with an independent government. If so, please fill out the following with your own details.

Name: Your name, obviously. Screenname, real name, political name, whatever. Preferrably the name that you're most well known as.
Government Type: Dictatorship? Monarchy? Democracy? Something else?
Name of Region: What you would name your region.
Values: The things that you believe in. This can include stuff like religion, happiness, freedom or anarchy.
Against: You can leave this blank if you like, but I figure some people would like to list a few things.
Plans: What you intend on doing once you become leader. Or at least, what you want people to think you intend on doing.
Propoganda: Anything you might want to add to convince people that you're someone they'd like to have as a leader.


Politics shmolitics. I'd much rather be a corporate leader than a political one. I have problems imposing my will on others. If I were to be a political leader, I'd want to be Secretary of Defense, or Secretary of Science (the latter being analogous to Senate Committee on Scientific Affairs, or something).

Homophobes are just people with homophobia. :) But don't worry, I'm just picky when people say "anti-homophobia" because I'm a homophobe and I haven't done anything wrong (unless having a fear is wrong). If you really want to be specific, I'm sure you can just say "anti-homosexual" or... uhm... something.

Psy: The ideal gang war consists of two teams, not about twenty. But even if I was promoting gang wars (which I always have), what's so bad about that? =o

that isnt what homophobia means (even though it should be) homophobia is a hatred for homosexuals because of their sexual preferance. homophobia is despicable and i hate it.

Loony BoB
07-27-2004, 07:18 AM
Check dictionary.com or any dictionary - it should say hatred or fear, even though it was originally designed for fear only, and the reason it's used for hatred as well is probably because so many people misinterpreted it over the years.

Against: The foolish deadlocks of democracy
Plans: Reform the military (i.e. kick out the dead wood and replace them with my supporters), find jobs for the people. I'd even find work for my political enemies--but the pay in those internment camps isn't really competitive.

Usually it means I have to spam things, that's what's bad. Oh, wait :)

Anyway, I have a really REALLY good question:

On page one, you sort of said that if you were a leader of EoFF, making it look hypothetical like EoFF city, what would you do etc. But now people are all talking about voting and stuff. Where the hell did THAT come from? :confused:

EDIT: And is this becoming some warped version of the elections? I mean, Jebusia has it's own thread, election party style. Is there gonna be voting?

Loony BoB
07-27-2004, 12:54 PM
Name: Sir Loony BoB
Government Type: Dictatorship
Name of Region: Aiyonia
Values: General happiness of the people, encourages religion to all Gods, traditionalist at times, magic, order and organisation, involvement by all.
Against: Anarchy, wars based on power and greed over freedom, uhm... actually, I'm not that sure.
Plans: I have no idea! Have fun. :) Be all political. And stuff.
Propoganda: I'm BoB! :D *falls over*

I don't know if I'll actually end up playing, mind you, but we'll see how things go. I'm all excited about this already, I can't wait for everything to go ahead. I have so many ideas. But I have no idea how to do some stuff until everything's going ahead, so we'll see how things go. :) I think I have around 24 potential leaders right now - I'm hoping to have between 20 and 40 regions, so keep them coming. The leaders with the most votes pick their starting region first, but that doesn't mean people with one vote (or none? o_o) can't get a region of their own. :)

Cz
07-27-2004, 12:56 PM
Name: Field Marshal Czanthor E. Vilman
Government Type: Militocracy/Autocracy. (Due to the strategic importance of the area, there is a high military presence. While a parliament does exist, it has no real power, as the military could overrule the ministers by force at any time. Since the Field Marshal is head of the army, he is in effect the ruler. The regime is by no means harsh, but the secret police certainly are.)
Name of Region: Czanthoshire.
Values: Order among the people. Military supremacy over rival nations. Also supports strong scientific and industrial development. Leisure-wise, the government are keen on promoting competitive sport and daily public smitings.
Against: Globalisation, Anarchy, Environmentalism, Elephants.
Plans: To add extra fortification to the major city, St. Mehsburg. To establish mag-lev transport links between Czanthoshire and neighbouring states. To win the world lacrosse championship within the next 3 years.
Propaganda: Look at the facts. Our nation has only been attacked once since Czanthoshire's military took over, and that invasion was quickly crushed by our 'Irony Curtain' defence system. What we need is a strong, united nation, and Czanthor can provide it. Not to mention that Czanthoshire has had 45% better weather since he came to power, and Carbon Dioxide emissions have increased tenfold. If you're looking for global warming, Czanthor'll provide it!

There's so much more I could write, but there's just not enough time. :(

Loony BoB
07-27-2004, 01:39 PM
It's impossible to rig these elections by asking people to vote for you as alliances are allowed in politics.

As for all this talk about voting: We're drawing up a map and will divide it into a certain amount of regions, hopefully 20-40. The members will then vote on which leaders they like the most, and the leaders with most votes will have priority pickings when choosing their starting regions. After that, well, wait and see for now because we're still working on the details, obviously. Proto and I have only had a few chats while settings things up and my main priority at the moment is getting everyone moving and drawing up the draft map (which is almost done) so Proto can make a cgi of it.

EDIT: I really need to emphasise that this is NOTHING to do with the map or the thread that Proto started. It's just expanding on the idea. This will be sort of an interactive world.

A nation of peace and prosperity, of justice and right, of that which makes humanity go beyond the beast, and go beyond that other beast, the sophisticated monster of our minds that we so much hate - and which we so readily embrace.

Zhem means much to me. I was an outcast when I lived amongst those who birthed me - I was an outcast in the hyena-pen, where the bars were laden with rabies-ridden spittle and marks from broken teeth. I couldn't stand to live there, with the wars, injustice, violence and poverty of the common people, and the cruelty and avarice of the rulers. The bloating carcass of a government under which my family toiled used whips and chains for the children, and worse for the parents... So much worse that I discovered as a truth the fact that my parents were driven mad by the constant torture and breaking of the soul they were subjected to. My sisters were killed as they tried to escape, and all I have left of them is a fragment of their fingers, all of which I still carry with me today.
So I escaped. I travelled for two years the land, seeking a pure land where I might settle and live in peace. But there were none. No one would have me, a slave of the past, a reminder of their menacing neighbour. So one day, I stopped, and listened.

What did I hear? I will not tell you, but hear me on this! It was the most beautiful word of my life, a word that lifted my soul and strengthened my sight, which gave me power to overcome the adversity I had faced and which was... Beautiful. And who said it was even more beautiful, and I saw a God before me. She spoke to me, and I answered, and from that day I have not sought, I have not searched and I have not quested for an answer - because I found it that day, in the eyes of Armi, the beautiful goddess, the goddess of hope.
She told me to wait, and show others they way she had shown me. And she smiled.

Ah, yes. That reminds me. That's just a working title for my nation. I'm trying to think up a more realistic one, I've already got a more serious style flag.

It's cool if you rename Jebusia, but why change the flag? :D

And what's the world-creator-dudes (e.g. (OMG THIS MEANS EXAMPLUS GRATUS) BoB and pr00t) stance on multi-national corporations? Or just regular ones? I know I asked this question in another thread, but I'm eager to know the answer.

I am, as you can see, not BoB or Proto, but here's a suggestion:

You are a citizen of a certain state, I'd say - corporations need contracts, and contracts aren't self-promoting, you need government for that. You could be a citizen under a state, but have stuff in other states, like people working for you. :) Or something like that. Same for secret cults and stuff, and religions. *_*

Aye, it's possible, as Nait put it there, but corporations didn't really exist in those times as nobody had that kind of money for investments, nobody had a fast enough means of travel (which would need to be done on a regular basis so money - or whatever it is that you use - could be sorted out, as you'd need to pay your workers and you'd need to have them move profits to yourself. Chances are they'd tell you to bugger off.

I imagine the only corporations of any sorts would be sea-trade...? Rather than have people working for you, you would just put yourself at the 'top of the food chain' or whatever - you'd be the leading supplier to various places, they would pay you for what they get from you, and they would sell what they get for whatever profit they like. The more people you sell to, the more money you'd make. Rather than having employees in various countries, you would merely have customers/clients. You'd have to be careful with the governments of each client though. I don't think corporations would be realistic in these times for these reasons.

True dat. Religions and such fit the role of the Big Corporations better in a low-tech scenario.

The closest I can think of a low-tech international corporation is the East Indies something something something, which was almost a nation unto itself.

Presumably, our universe would start out operating under a feudal system, or something similar. In this case, there would be no corporations of any sort. Families or communities might specialize in a certain trade, but large-scale companies wouldn't exist.

Personally, I'm opposed to the idea of a business world, but if we do choose to go along that path, it could work something like this:

Each nation would have dedicated settlements for each branch of industry (such as mining or arms manufacture). These settlements would provide their nation with items, and expand their operations into other states should the oppurtunity arise. As times change, and the business world develops, these industries could be taken over by an individual or group, who would then oversee any decisions involving that particular corporation.

As an example, suppose a human community were established, with the purpose of creating weaponry for their nation. This settlement soon became the chief source of weaponry in the local area, perhaps the whole region. It would begin exporting its wares to other towns, maybe to allied nations. Eventually, one of the weapons makers is able to buy the other businesses, becoming the main supplier of arms in his town (and therefore the entire nation). He now owns his own company, and can choose to establish further factories in other states (with their permission) to expand his empire.

In some cases, two businesses might exist within a single nation, in which case they could either merge their assets or compete for the custom of their nation.

Of course, this would all happen over a long period of time. No businesses would develop for hundreds of years, and depending on how exactly BoB and Prot want this world to work, it could turn out that none develop at all. It might be a better idea to have the towns stay as just towns, and not muck around with company expansion etc.

I see. Yes, the East India Tea Company was quite an example. It seems that being in possession of natural resources would be the only way to start up a well-oiled company from scratch, and supplying that for money. And you're right, it would depend on the governments' stances towards capitalism, such as whether they would just seize all assets and nationalize them, or let them be privatized. *watches*
