works for me, parts of switzerland are run kinda like this IIRC

Cool I did not realise this, link?

Monarchy or nothing

with such a small group of people, there needs to be direct, fast action, vote are nice when youre a big country full of back up plans but for a starting nation, a single individual to make decisions on the spot is needed.

I think we should vote for one person to have complete power, then make a direct vote on him each year, kinda like an elected king.

At first something close to this would probably be necessary.

then later we can afford luxuries like democracy.

>>323
I figure we run it like a ye old pirate ship. When shtf, the captain is in charge. When shit is not hittng the fan, the crew decides what happens.

This is also how a lot of early colonial militias worked. It works pretty well.

>>363
Ancient Rome worked like this as well. The only problem was once they had their 15 minutes of power they often stayed there

>Consider this; with so few people it would be easy for everyone's voice to be heard
That's why I think it's important to keep the communities small. Small communities don't need much of a government, which is good because governments are inherently corruptible and oppressive.

I agree with >>323 that monarchy is most efficient. Monarchy sounds nasty, but with such a small community it's not bad at all because the monarch doesn't have that much power. They're more like the boss of a company than a tyrannical dictator.

Also, socialism actually works on a scale this small. I know socialism is a dirty word, but we know it works in small communities because that is how humans lived for most of our history as a species. Think about it like this: it's like a big family. You don't pay your parents to take food from the pantry. You don't ask for money for doing your chores.

I guess what I'm getting at is that the community needs to stay small. Once it gets above 150 or so (or maybe smaller, I'm not sure) it should split into two self-sufficient towns. It's just more efficient to govern that way…you don't need ridiculously complex governments with twenty branches and a senate and a congress and other such bullshit. I really think this is how all communities should live. It's inherently environmentally friendly because the communities need to be self sufficient. There's not much need for money. The small size eliminates the need for serious governments. And if you become disenchanted with how one town is governed, you can just move a few miles down the road to the next town.

incorrect.

of the like 200 something dictators that were appointed by the SPQR senate, every one stepped down at the end of his term until Julius Cesar. then it became a "for life" deal.

I was thinking something like this, as well.

each settlement or other form of social grouping would have its own government and operate as pretty much a sovereign entity, with the federal/central governmental body being little more of a forum to address issues concerning the various players and bring stuff to the attention of the nation as a whole.

and then in emergencies it's the responsibility of the folks at the point of action to handle their shit and bring in outside help when necessary.

well the important thing to remember is we are doing this for ourselves and for guns, not for any nation or ideology.

Let the doctors run the hospital, the farmers run agriculture and the businessmen do trading.

>>1427
man what a great idea, we can call them colonies!

And then the colonies can have a central forum.

But the forum won't have enough clout to matter, so we'll have to give it some power to get people to actually work together.

Eh, still not enough, ok, let's just build a tiny centralized government.

Well shit we've got a couple thousand people now, and things are getting messy. Ok, a moderately sized government, but make sure we keep individual rights.

Ok, individuals are -fucking insane- and most of them are -literally too stupid to operate a shovel-. Let's make sure all these morons don't kill themselves off.

Oh look. It's Murrica. Again. Hi Murrica.

>>1464
What do you suggest then?

>>1465
out of curiosity and before I answer, did you actually just happen to stop by? RSS feed? and who is this?

>>1466
I just followed after one of the many "/k/ should make a country" threads. So nobody. I'm interested in the idea though.

Quite happy now?

>>1467
satisfied :)

have a burner email you don't mind sharing?

>>1470
Sure, I've got a trash account.

welcome to the waiting list. When we move forward you'll be notified. You can also volunteer tasks if you're interested in doing so. Currently working on a aquaponics setup. Terra's making progress toward the PMC (and more importantly a PMC that can get meaningful contracts).

any questions/concerns etc can be addressed to thenameisorca@gmail.com, as always.
