The Captain
08-05-2004, 08:24 PM
Nation: Serenity
Government: Democracy
Leader: Minister Devin, though an official President will elected when enough citizens can vote.
Capital: New Amani
Religion: All are welcome to be practiced but none are the official religion.
Entrance: Currently, all are allowed. If you announce your arrival beforehand, you can be escorted into the capital if you want to.
Exit: Same as above.
Laws: I posted them before, so I'll copy them again (If current technology isn't available, laws will be adjusted):
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.
Since my art programs aren't working, I'll just describe where the capital is located:
To the east of the giant mountain range, right on the water, a little above where the water trade route to Region 10 is. When my programs are working again, I'll actually post the location and attempt to create a flag.
Take care all. I hope all the leaders and potential citizens of Eizon are getting along smoothly.
