Question

Start a new country, what ideas and laws would you start it out with?

Answer

I would make two national laws:

1. No interfering with the states laws.
2. No harm to any humans (fighting, murder, etc.) (including no slavery)

I would also make a constitution with laws that included laws that were voted on by the states' Leaders.

The idea of the country would be to give most, almost all power to the states.

The nation would be sort of like my NS Nation "Jufonce".


All power to the states wouldn't really be a country but I'm not gonna argue.

Mine would be a Socialist government which looks out for everyone. There would be some National laws like no killing and States can vote on other laws like weed legalization. However I would make Gay people be able to be married. States could choose driving Laws but they would all start at 16 and can change them by popular vote. The drinking age would be 18 along with smoking age. There would be a president but he would be more like the Queen of England rather than an actual ruler and would only use pardons and make sure the states don't go out of control. There would still be 3 branches of government and checks and balances so that no branch in the government has too much power. I would also be rather strict on gun control and make sure no one that wasn't licensed could have one, the test for a gun would be written to assure that no one unreliable could have one but there would also be target practice and things like that. My country would be very diplomatic and willing to work with different countries on national issues.


That is what mine would be too, hack out the gay marriage thing and make drugs/alcohol freely available to militaristic personel only, it'd be exactly like it.

Equal Lesbian, Gay, Transgender, Bisexual rights to Straight people.

That's about all I'd majorly consider.

I created Cuba.

But, seriously, I'd create a small, community-based communist country where the citizens voted on everything, but it was mainly just one gigantic city. I'd also try and give the best healthcare and education possible including free university (there's none in Australia) and free, complex healthcare.

Let's see, I'd be Dictator (possibly Emperor, maybe both?) and have a huge army with which to take over other countries. Like the modern day Hitler, minus the genocide.

If that's what you want to call it. I wouldn't kill just one group of people, just everyone that stood in my way. See? Totally fair :)

1. Make non-renewable energy illegal
2. Get rid of religeon
3. Get rid of money (no clue how it would work though)
4. Disarm all weapons in the world
5. Put all evil people on the moon inside a big bubble and let them starve to death :D

I don't get why we'd waste time & money building a bubble and then just letting them starve. It'd be quicker and cheaper to just drop them off on the moon and kick them out of the spaceship before returning home. Or just go into orbit, keep them all in the airlock, open it and boom.

Of course, throwing them all into a volcano would be even cheaper than that.

And of course, then you get to the classic morality question: Who decides what is evil?

Yes, but starving to death would be a lot more entertaining, and then if their on the moon if they cant take it they can jump outa the buble and get whatever you get when you implode

There is no way that starvation is more amusing that being sucked into the vacuum of space.

If I started a country, it would be one whole country without townships, counties, territories, etc. I would also have 3 elected officials that have the same level of power over the country. There would still be a congress and senate like the USA but they would be smaller comprimising of about 25-50 people in both and are elected by the 3 people. The senate would vote on bills and the 3 people will be the final say in the subject and they can't be overidden by anyone. Also, I would ban all major religions and political parties.

I'd also make a great public transport system and it would be entirely free and government-owned. Melbourne's used to be like that, until Centrelink almost literally fucked it up the arse.
