There'd be nice beaches and great snowy mountains. Drugs would be legal, guns would be banned, gay marriage would be legal. My liberal heaven
"Drugs would be legal"
So it would be a hellhole. I'm staying out of that place. (Drugs = reason why society is fucked up)
I think the war on drugs has fucked society up more. There are plenty of legal drugs that cause more harm than illegal drugs. Isn't it better to provide treatment for those battering addiction rather than punish them? Drugs open up your mind and give perspective, some of the most brilliant/innovative people experimented with drugs.
Imagine this: a harsh mountain range with mile high peaks. Nestled deep within the range lies great twin mountains, greater than all the rest, surrounded by a sizable area of flat land at the base.
My kingdom, Iananth, will be a very isolated, difficult to reach, small elven mountain kingdom, built within, on, and around the great twin mountains. We will be so isolated, all of the other kingdoms in this post think we are just a myth until one brave adventurer from Duztopia, after being banished for questioning his dictator, finds us and enlists in my nations help overthrowing the tyrant ItDuz.
My culture will be very environmentally friendly, and the main rules will be based around COMMON SENSE that my people actually will have. My people will be quiet and lethal warriors, well skilled in combat and magic, who live mostly a peaceful monk life of solitude, training, and pursuing their passions.
They also know how to have a good time though. They are not stick in the muds. All in all, we are a very close kingdom ruled by the wise Queen Anthian and will speak either telepathically or in the ancient language of smosh.
I was with ya till you wanted to battle with my boy, itduzzy. We are the founding members of the IIN Pretty Boy Brotherhood. So now im burden with the task of infiltrating ur inner circle, seducing the queen, and then in the aftermath of the passionate affair I must send you to..."Valinor" for an eternal rest.... but what is this pain in my heart that growing in my chest?! C-can it be.... NO, I cannot betray my brother, but but this Queen and her kingdom have shown me a new way in life, and in her arms have found my soul and humanity that I lost so long ago.
》8( *My brooding face*
IIN Pretty Boy Brotherhood XD that's awesome.
ItDuz is a ruthless dictator, shuggy-chan! Now that you have found your humanity, we must forge a union between the two kingdoms to overthrow him and liberate his people!
I will have my mages reconstruct my aesthetics so I am a pretty boy, so I too may join the IIN Pretty Boy Brotherhood. From there I will gain his trust and work out a plan of attack.
No, my Queen u dont know the extent of his power of charisma. Even some as strong willied and noble as u would succumb to his influence in person. He is the reincarnation of narcissus, his power makes sirens and inncubis seem like naive virgins I have see men and women smile as he tortured them and murdered their loved ones before them, pain become pleasure in his presence if he so chooses, and he has agent and power hiding even in your own circle. He may be closer then u think, I have a plan, but my love u must find in ur heart the ability to trust me completely.
Will u trust me?
The plan must also include the brave adventurer from Duztopia if I am to trust you! To love you I must have seen something of honor, so I and the duzzian will trust you.
Well what the Duzpiror fears is your royal elven blood, it is the only thing that harm him, for him and the other of the brotherhood all are under a curse, curse of immortality and nothing else can harm a curse bearer. And there is one more secret I must tell u....* Leans in closer*
I was going to say Narnia, but now I've just discovered the utopic Wollongong. Tough choice.
It would be a small island, like those in the Caribbean. Immigration would be very strict, with immigrants limited in number to those who would contribute to the society, only. Any race or ethnicity would be welcome, but prejudice would not be tolerated at all, just like crime. Births on the island would be limited to a sustainable number. Taxes (a great deal of which would come from tourism) of individuals and businesses would be a flat rate system which supported a small government which cared for the citizens' health, education and old age. All government employees and officials would live as the populous does, with no perks or preferential treatment (myself included).
Upon graduation from school, each student would be given an amount of money with which to purchase a car (if necessary), a home and start a business if desired, but that loan would be repaid beyond the taxes within a fixed period (so the less you take, the less you would have to repay). Those who could not repay the loan would then have to take on the government jobs that the other citizens didn't want to do, such as street cleaning and repair, garbage collection, etc, paying a portion of their salary until the loan was repaid.
It would be a country without locks, or excessive rules; conduct governed by conscience.
If it's my country, then that's the way it would be and it would work, too. Because I say so.
A government that is for the people and is run by the people, strong separation of powers, direct referendums on important issues e.g. Immigration/amendments to the constitution.
A strong constitution that is protected by a constitutional court/authority.
A democratic government that is voted using the MMP voting system to entice smaller parties into power. A unicameral legislature (no upper house e.g House of Lords/Senate).
Head of state (President) will be separate from the Head of Government (Prime Minister/Premier).
Strict separation of Church and State, freedom of religion, etc. Civil unions are recognised by the state as a legal binding entity with protection of both parties. Marriages are not dealt by the state but by their respective religious organisation.
Industries that are accountable for their actions to it's community and to fulfill their obligations. Regulative measures agreed by both the government, the people (thru direct referendums) and private industries.
No CENTRAL BANK - A non partisan organ independent of the government with members voted in by both parliament and by direct referendum. Their job is regulate the flow of cash/coins into the supply market and also act as a regulator for the banks. Banks are expected to act within limits i.e. lending vs asset ratio.
Well this is just the government part. But hopefully this gives you an idea.
Duztopia, a place where people learn of everything that is Duz and speak from the tongue of Duzania. I would rule with a fair hand to my Duzlings, however disobedience to anything that is Duz will result in being banished from Duztopia.
Hm... Oh! I made up a nation for my cousin!
In her nation, the rule is you HAVE TO PLAY the iPad. You have no homework and no adult-adults (mature people, she's only 7) to make you stressed, just all Emma's (her name is that)! Everyone would ride in plastic cars, but get distracted by giant TV's that are showing Mickey Mouse and Doc McStuffins and by playing the iPads. Once getting distracted, they go into a car accident and say "Oops! Sorry!" The national food is Mac and Cheese, and the national drink is Caprisun juice! Everyone wouldn't go to work because every time they need something, it poofs into their houses (they live in giant dollhouses).
From my 7-year-old (just turned 7) cousin, Emma
I'm too lackadaisical to have and run my own nation. I'd rather go down the rabbit hole or through the looking glass.
