THE GOOD OLD DAYS
Cum is now water
The same as Pericles' Athens, I wouldn't change a thing
Minus the plague
Burhs are the only way forward. Move to a rural area, form a community, dont allow outsiders in without serious vetting. We were talking about this the other day, basically co-op farming like our great grandparents did.
>city state
What time period is this happening in? Modern or pre-industrial?
>meritocratically chosen dictatorship
>buddhism
>roman with medieval influences
>right to own a home, to be protected from harm, to work and use money,
>to use grain reserves and river water
>greek official, german and dutch secondary
>isolationist, based on trading and forming trade alliances with others
>10% income which can be raised to 20% in emergency times, 2% for shipping/trade and businesses
>doctor training program, apprenticeships and funding of guilds, free building supplies for homes
>military to consist ~3.33% of population for defense only, naval force to protect ships and harbours
>style of government
Direct democracy. Everyone gets a vote. Mandatory ostracization once a year. If you don't vote on the ostracize vote, you instantly get exiled yourself. This will ensure a competitive altruistic society so that the rich fucks don't hoard their wealth only to get exiled.
>religion
A syncretic blend of Catholicism and Greco-Roman paganism
>architectural style
Columns and domes on everything
>basic rights of your citizens
Citizens have the following rights:
-as the free people, the state requires them to act as the army as well. Therefore any military equipment is legal in any hand of a citizen and can be used to protect life and property.
-the right to not be imprisoned without trial
-the right to a fair trial before a crowd of jurors who may attend as they wish. If no jurors are present the judge will use precedential law
-the right/obligation to vote in all and every decision that requires a plebiscite
>language
Anglicized Vulgar Latin
>foreign policy
Fuck off and leave us alone or we'll send wave after wave until you can't keep up
>tax policy
1/3 of all produce goes to a common fund for the benefit of those that cannot afford to live.
2/3 of all gold collected by merchants in their transactions goes into a giant pot which gets redistributed among the citizenry every year.
>domestic policy
Obey natural law and we'll get along fine. Anyone guilty of corrupting the youth gets instakilled.
>military policy
Every male, upon the age of 16, must be trained and maintain his training every 2 years until his 40th birthday for the defense of the nation city state.
I think this would be pretty good.
>meritocratically chosen dictatorship
how to accomplish this though? who decides who has more merit? and what prevents them from taking power for themselves?
Modern, but you can choose the level of technology you want to have.
Well in the start, I guess a dictator would rise up at the first and the people would overthrow him if he was bad. Then, towards the end of his reign he would appoint a suitable candidate which the people would keep in check etc.
I assume the military would intervene if the dictator became too powerful but this is heavily unpredictable
Sounds pretty based. I like that you’re bringing back ostracism. Would this be permanent or have a term to how long someone is exiled for?
what do they eat
You need to determine agricultural policy.
>style of government
hybrid of a noocracy with constitutional monarchy
>religion
Odinism
>architectural style
The last scream in technology, just round, and square system streets
>basic rights of your citizens
Freedom of speech is a must, as mind your own business, castle doctrine, and people can buy any kind of weapons they want witht he exception of nuclear weapons for obvious reasons, would take school shootings to a whole another level. By the way, heavy reform on schools they now must be peripathetic. Kids must play and be outdoors when there is good weather, teachers can teach them there.
>language
Depends of where it might be.
>foreign policy
Non interventionism and pure trade based.
>tax policy
No property taxes or vehicle taxes, you buy it is yours. Some taxes should also be optional, according to the persons own interests.
>domestic policy
Don't like it here, leave. Want to move in when we don't need you that will cost ya.
>military policy
? Must have a standing army just in case, police must be elected by the people where they serve. Bring back the beat cop. things were better when officer Brad knew Timmy's parents and could tell him that if he did it again he would tell them.
Thank you, and in terms of ostracization, it would be broken down into the following:
50%+1 vote: you're banned for 2 years. Your property is held in stasis, and you can return into the city when the 2 years is up.
60%+1 vote: 3 years, 1/3 of your property/posessions is taken and redistributed among the poorest.
70%+1 vote: 4 years, 1/2 of your property/possessions.
80%+1 vote: 5 years, 3/4 property/possessions.
If you're the unlucky bastard that got 90%+1 vote of the entire population to vote you, you get banned for life, and all of your property/possessions are given out in a fair and equitable manner.
Holy fuck this thread is already an embarassment 6 replies in.
>government style
Constitutional tanistry, with a senate representing the surrounding rural regions (whom get their own chieftains) and a representational branch which ONLY makes laws for within the city (thus the rural areas are not fucked by mob rule).
The head cheiftain rules as executive with power over military, while the elected chieftain trains under him as lieutenant and rules the city while head is on military campaigns. When head chieftain dies tge elected takes his place and new lieutenant chieftain is elected.
>religion
Polytheistic with focus on sun worship and increasing strength of race/tribe.
>architectural style
Gothic
>rights of citizens
Determined by constitution every 200 years. Rural region has many more rights due to inability to project policing.
>language
Gaelic
> foreign policy
Xenophobic
> tax policy
More labor focused than money focused.
>domestic policy
Explained above
>military policy
Nuke niggers nuke kikes
no those who call themselves jews but are not allowed
mandatory dna test needed for proof
>>style of government: direct public democracy
>>religion:Islam
>>architectural style: anything European
>>basic rights of your citizens: libertarian rights
>>language: english
>>foreign policy: go unoticed by large powers but grow slowly
>>tax policy: 10% total tax rate
>>domestic policy: white eugenics with prosecution of leftoids
>>military policy: peaceful but armed populace
Sounds pretty reasonable. Would there be any way to appeal, or is word of the people enough? The Greeks had it right with ostracism.
>gets voted out
>takes all treasures before they get to you
>live somewhere else
Ah well
There would be 1 recount if requested, but it would be pretty transparent the first time, so most people just accept it and don't request the recount, as it looks dishonourable.
The best thing about this system, like I said, is that it would encourage rich 1%ers to spend their wealth as soon as they get it on the citizenry and improve their lives through public works/etc. so they don't risk losing their wealth.
as soon as you've been counted as one of the possible exiliees during the counting, you go into the public cage in the town square, and as soon as you're mathematically impossible to win, then you're let out.
Many things wrong with that system
>public cage
Wonderful.
