I want to hear your experimental ideas for forming a government and society no matter how stupid. Tell someone else why their idea is stupid.

I'll start with mine.

Every 4-X years, citizens vote for the top 5 priority topics the government should deal with on the national level. Doesn't mean minor issues of emergencies are ignored, but all time is reserved for those issues.

Citizens would still elect politicians who would vote/work on legislation that addresses that topic. Votes for politicians would occur more frequently than the vote for the topics.

Social Capital

Everyone starts off with X creds, lets just say 100 for ease of thought.

You get points for doing good things such as making a donation, doing charity work or employing people etc... You can also give points to other people. If these recommended people gain points, you yourself get a small interest of social capital. You can lose capital through socially disruptive behaviour proportionate to the action. Committing a crime has a higher loss compared to talking in a movie theatre.

Social Capital can be used calling for favours from strangers, getting loans, etc...

To prevent abuse, if someone you recommended loses points, you also lose a smaller % of points. You can only lose up to the value you originally gave to a person and you cant withdraw that recommendation until I dunno X time or X value has gone.

Also if you recommend literally everyone, the value of your recommendation goes lower. Recommending fewer people also gives your value higher.

BLM has far less national support than you think. By all means people can and should vote for topics they care about but it'll never hit the top 5. If BLM WEWUZ is so important on a local state level then it should be addressed in some way. Its a two edged sword, voting for a topic doesnt mean a specific outcome. That up to the normal representatives to debate and decide.

Local governments are given complete social and economic power and all transactions take place on a local basis.

So, all resources a locality uses will be sourced from that locality, the exception being merchants who trade between localities, but must be ingrained in a community to do so.

Officials will be elected to office, but will not receive a salary for doing so. Any public servants will receive direct payment for their services from service users, thereby eliminating the need for taxation.

Large cities I'm not really sure, possibly balkanisation of suburban areas.

The biggest downfall of this system is lack of defence and pragmatic concerns of the nation in terms of expansion, prestige, etc.

The local police will literally start going door to door extorting you for money and if you refuse you will get your house burglarized. Police will even stop you for a traffic search that will waste your time until you give them a bribe to fuck off.

I think its more of a payment for service. Like the sanitation guy gets paid directly by the bloke who wants to have his shit disposed of. Or teachers are paid directly instead of by the state (as in a state run model say).
Because elected officials will need to have a means of main employment and will only be responsible for shit like dispute resolution, they hopefully will not be subject to hardcore bribary.

>Choosing a candidate would be done with just as uninformed an opinion as the dress
That's literally how elections work today. People vote for parties that they've always voted for, if they were read the party program of an opposition party but were told it was 'their' party they'd say it sounded fantastic regardless of what it actually contained etcetra. People live in echo chambers and are fiercely loyal to parties they've never properly investigated, but it's the default party of their social cliqué so that's what they and all their peers will vote for anyway.

Look at the 2016 American presidental elections and tell me it's anything but a popularity contest. 90% of people don't know what a fucking Benghazi is, they've already picked a side and are just egging their candidate on.

Well because everything is based locally, I think you'd know the cop and his family, and so he probably they wouldn't want to piss you off because then you could easily neglect X or Y service that you provide them.

>>
This is an idea I've had kicking around in my head for a few months

I'd want to see legislation devolved to private, industry-specific parliaments made up of key stakeholders. It's an idea I've been thinking of for a while, basically split three ways between the owners of the means of production, the workers and unions, and a third segment made up of citizen interest groups, experts, economists, etc. to break deadlocks between the worker and the business owner.

So for instance, the medical industry could have:
>Big Pharma and owners of hospitals, pharmacies, etc. on the 'owner' side
>Nurses, allied health, doctors, and unions on the 'worker' side
>Government economists, university researchers, and #DUDEWEED Group for Legalisation of Drugs on the third side

You'd have parliaments that covered major, domain-specific sectors like education and research, construction and utilities, hospitality, banking and finance, etc.

There'd be some sort of petition system probably similar to the Swiss referendum system, where say a two-thirds vote could dissolve the industry parliament and return their legislative powers to the government, or two-thirds of a public vote could force the government to relinquish legislative powers to a newly-created industry parliament.

Basically it's a way so that people can be politically involved in their specific interests, without shitting up general politics, because democracy as it is today, you simply vote for a candidate but you might only agree with half of what they say. It also means that politicians can't take as much credit for shit they didn't do, because politicians are scumbags and should all be... Treated with respect...

I was thinking a Monarchy with a parliament, with parliament governing as in a democracy but the Monarch has absolute power and is there to observe and make sure corruption doesnt rot the government. He can involve himself in anything he wants and veto parliaments decisions.
Also a strong military is important so 2 year service is required.
>>
>>3186519
I do actually like the idea of a clear, transparent plan for the government to undertake, but i'm not sure if it should be open to a vote, instead, why not attempt to form a culture where politicians do set out their plans for the X number of years they'll be in office, when and how they'll implement things, and have third party agencies that hold them to account and a checks and balances system, it would be much better than mere promises with little planning behind them, make the election process a part of being in office, not merely the act of getting elected independent of the running of the state.

Well, it'd be the police and judiciary, same as today. I have other ideas to divest government control on that, but it's not nearly as well developed in my mind.

I'm also Australian, and working from that perspective. I assume you're talking about a presidential veto, which doesn't really exist here. If it gets passed by parliament, there's nothing the leader can really do.

To be able to vote, you must
>Be over 25 years of age
>Be a citizen
And most importantly, go through a year or two worths of training, much like boot camp is now, to make sure that you're deemed mentally fit to vote.
This camp would be free to attend, and the only privilege gained from it is the right to vote. It'd be extremely tough, and as said, would take up a year or two of the persons life, so it is a huge commitment. This ensures that only the people interested in politics with the nescecary mental faculties will be able to decide.
>>
>>3186519

I would take the elective aspects of it and turn it more towards a public speaking forum if you will. An officially sanctioned and funded organization for facilitating debates on various subjects ailing the nation.

Experts, philosophers, industry magnates, leaders of movements get to debate popular topics to sway public opinion. Every Sunday have 3-5 separate topics randomly chosen.

>>3186756
>People have a hard time focusing on one topic at a time, if there are 4 or 5 occurring the people would not be able to keep track I believe.
That's kind of the point, when it comes to voting, most people don't care about most issues, only a few specific issues.

>What would the main government government do?
Same as what it does now, minus the devolved powers. It's not like those powers need to exist anyway, I'd imagine some sectors would prefer not to take direct control of their own legislation and regulation, because it would be a lot of extra work for them.

Okay bear with me here, i know it sounds a bit wonky.

There is a vote and political parties are assigned points based on the number of votes they received.

Political parties can then "bid" to be head of a particular government department and get to set the agenda there. Those who win get points deducted but those who have not get to carry their votes to a later position.

The lesser ministries go first until we get to the head of state position. So if you want to you could blow your points on collecting many ministries but give up the position of president or you could save up for one special ministry. So the conservatives might want to spent alot on the military or the greens save up for the environment.

The Parliament still proceeds as usual with the votes even if a party wins zero positions. But the ministries will have to deal with whatever legislature comes out our parliament.

Yeah I'm Australian as well. I like it, but in my opinion departments of government really have the opportunity to slow down or obscure legislative requirements through their portfolios if it benefits them. So id be interested to hear your elaborated thoughts.

I'm pretty sure it'd be a solid investment for most poor people if they didn't have to support themselves or their children while in this camp.
Similarly, it's common sense that companies would favour someone that spent the nescecary time in the camp over someone that did not, considering that it means that the ones that passed it are disciplined and clever and just in general a good employee to have.

But a lot of the problems with government departments is due to the minister in charge of that portfolio and their direction to the department, which would be absent in this case.

Direct democracy on the local level, representative democracy on the federal level.
No taxes, just donations from people after the direct local democracy votes that something should be done and a budget is (directly) voted.
Alternatively, if you have taxes, only people who are net payers, as in they give more money than they take in various benefits, can vote.

There is no incentive whatsoever for a company to punish people for completing an education that makes sure they're able bodied, able minded, and willing to be put into labour. I hope you realize this.

In my system i would replace votes with fellatio

Anyone is allowed to become the leader, it all just depends on how much dick you can suck, this would ensure that only the most depraved of people would have a chance to win.
All candidates would also be shaved, stripped of all possesions and sterilised

I call it dickenomics


Ofc the dick sucking can be replaced with shit eating or something just as vile

The idea is to remove all respect for politicians, they would become untouchables in our society, the bottom rung citizens.

I belive this would create an interesting power dynamic where the elite would respect the common man as they are nothing in comparison and the common man would not abuse these 2nd class people because they would be leading them and making decisions.

Id imagine this to be very humbling for the politicians who take part and thus only the pure of heart could come out on top

You would have to be willing to literally become a walking shell of a man for the sake of your people

This will hopefully get rid of backroom politics and party pressures. As a candidate, you are not beholden to any one entity besides the people. The allocation of a set number of public funds will kill the advantage of having a shitload of lobbyists lining a candidates pocket. This is a very rough outline, but technology needs to be incorporated. Maybe not to vote, but at least to see who the fuck is available to vote for.

Same reason as why you'd do it in the army. Also, difficult on purpose so that only the fit can vote in the end.

Voting rights are not given by default they are earned. After high school you can choose to pursue 'citizenship' which would grant voting rights. (It could be deferred to a later point) The path would involve some time spent in the military (lets say 2 years), time spent in education on both basic economic theory, philosophy and history (1 years worth, paid for by the gov't but after several years of other service) after this one would spend time in a different region of the country. Did you grow up in a liberal city? Now you've gotta spend another 3 years living in a conservative rural area. After both of those you spend 2 years working as a petty bureaucrat in the government in two different states (each for one year. After that you're done and you get voting rights, with the youngest you can be being 26. Having citizenship would grant you the ability to vote for a representative government but would come at an increased tax burden. This means that only those who are truly invested in the political future of the country would pursue the path since it saddles you with a greater financial burden although citizens would be given priority for government jobs and would comprise the officer corps of the military.
>>
>>3187280
Nah, military service shouldn't be a prerequisite. We spend too much as it is. They should have stricter term limits and once they've done their time they can form advisory committees for the new representatives/presidents/etc...

I think American democracy can work if it is much more transparent with the public feeling involved in the process. If the majority should be involved at all is another matter entirely...
>>
>>3186519
Politicians are elected via random lottery. In order to be selected a politician must apply to their position and get a number of signatures depending on the power of the office (the president may need 500,000 signatures, a senator 100,000 for a state the size of California, a mayor might not need any). Once all the candidates are in a winner is randomly selected and sworn in. Politicians aren't directly accountable to anyone and thus are more likely to vote based on their personal conscience and at the same time becoming a career politician is nearly impossible.

Sauce on that comic? And my crazy idea is that before anyone is allowed to vote, they take two tests, one on political knowledge, candidates, world events, etc., the other is on basic logic. If either are failed, then you can't vote. The problem I see is that the most educated people are also almost always the richest, and that this system would just lead to the rich oppressing the poor for personal gain.

>it's common sense that such an education would be very much wanted in almost all workplaces, because of the inherent achievement that is completing it
Why? How rigorous is this that accomplishing it is actually an achievement? If it is so rigorous what happens if you essentially flunk out? You just wasted a year or two of your life accomplishing nothing. Beyond that you are assuming that because something is seen as good it is essentially mandatory. Being an Eagle Scout looks good on a resume, but you don't see every boy becoming an eagle scout because doing otherwise makes them unhireable.

However the biggest issue is if it is de facto mandatory in order to succeed than what is the point? If it is so vital than everyone will do it anyway, meaning its just like college 2.0. You might as well make college 6 years standard and include two years of civic coursework, or even better just include this crap in high school.

Digital direct democracy. All citizens get one vote. They can authorise a proxy to vote on their behalf, so most mundane legislation can still be ignored by normies in their day to day lives. The entire record of votes is stored via an open blockchain that anyone can view and verify, the entire process is open from end to end and trust-free.
The government should prioritise an online voting platform, including a smartphone app so that citizens can be engaged at all times and know what issues are up for discussion. Voting is not compulsory, and a person can choose to defer to one of their proxies (they can keep multiple proxies, for different subjects for example) or participate themselves. Legislation can be proposed or repealed, and results appealed by popular petition, but the thresholds for this are high. There is still an elected head of state with fixed terms and an appointed cabinet drawn from a pool of elected representatives with multiple voting rounds to ensure any elected representative has a majority mandate. Representatives serve 4 year terms but can be re-elected, head of state serves long terms and must disavow party allegiances before taking office. They can never stand for office after their term.
An appointed house of experts (Lords-style) with strict rules about membership compromises the upper house, who can debate and amend bills but never pass them.
There is strict rules about representatives overriding public votes and vetoes and above a certain majority threshold (~60%or more, you get the idea) the public vote always wins.
All of this is to provide a drop-in-drop-out style of citizen government, where most of the time elected representatives bounce bills around but the public can intervene whenever they want.

Also below certain minimum quorum the pubic ballot can be discarded (low turnout defaults to representatives to pass law).
The head of state is CinC, can make executive order style decrees but these can also be repealed by public ballot with a high enough majority and are designed as an immediate and necessary power. Otherwise, head of state is largely removed from day to day governance. And I'm a bong so keep the monarchy intact for symbolism somehow.
In practice:
>Bill proposed by (very) popular demand, or an MP
> debate held in the lower house, bill amended
> debate held in upper house, if amended back to lower house, if passed go to next step
> Bill appears on "Presently under Consideration" tab on the site/app/whatever, with a category (defence, technology, international etc.). It is presented in abstract (with full wording available) and a short informational video is provided by the civil service outlining both sides of the debate. And a moderated comment section.
>After one week of being available to vote on, the vote is tallied and the bill has passed because it has passed or no-one gives a fuck about paint solvent additive regulations, or returns to the representatives who decide whether or not to amend or ditch the bill.
> Bill signed in to law by HRH E2R or whoever the king is by then
> Bill is enforced / implemented by govt departments
People can get as involved in the process as they want, or don't want and can use a proxy they trust to represent them on any bill they do not feel confident voting on.

I had an idea for when we colonize a different planet.

All cities would be biodomes initially, meaning that city placement would be well-planned.

All cities would be required by law to be very small, exactly how small I'm not sure, but I'm imagining somewhere around 10,000. Every city is planned ahead of time, including their location, industry, etc. Once a city is overpopulated, the city is required to offer "settler" credits to people to move to a new city needing more population or an older city losing population.

No central government exists, they are all essentially city states. With mass communication as advanced as it would be, all cities would be able to be in constant communication with each other, and can ask for anything they need. Cities are allowed to host whatever type of government they wish, with the caveat that they must have only one representative to the one planet-wide congress. They will do the city planning, sign treaties with each other, and overall plan their city's role in the grand scheme of it all. All cities are dependent on each other, as they all produce only a limited quantity of goods. Trade blossoms, cooperation is vital, warmongers are near impossible, as the disruption it would cause to trade would endanger themselves more than they would gain from any war.

So are you designing the city states to be interdependent? Ie. New Seattle produces surplus food but is dependant on Jonestown for fertiliser which in turn needs Darnassus for metal?

If so, sure you in theory preempt war, but any small supply problem is going to create a massive fucking snowball of a logistical mess. It's kind of similar to how the Soviets planned factory cities that specialized in one thing. The system is too inflexible to compensate, people start using Jerry rigged solutions that are inefficient to keep things going but this only exaggerates the inefficiency.

Not to mention you would need to settle multiple colonies simultaneously, straight away, rather than starting modest and learning lessons from a pilot scheme and iterative processes.

Also what's to stop a self contained collective from just breaking the rules for their own benefit? More pop= better efficiency, because you don't need to build a brand new biome every five minutes. Colonisation is fucking hard enough already, these limitations make it even harder, even if in 10 generations when the colonists descendants are actually competing for resources you preempt conflict.
Why not just have a mixed economy, governed by a single polity? If you have the resources of a whole untouched planet to exploit, but need to live in biomes, then civil planning is necessary anyway to plan and support expansion.
Unless I really misunderstood your idea.

Presidential republic, with a triunvirate of cônsules for each branch of the army
President would appoint ministers but the people appoints the deputies to the local towns and villages, they would join in assembly at the cortes wich could be summoned trough petition
President would therefore have executive power, assembly would have legislative power (under heavy scrutiny) and courts judiciary, the president could influence any of these in some cases tough

All men would have to serve the army, and women would take self defense and training to help those man (nurses and cock worship)

Have a mandatory critical thinking course to determine eligibility to vote, with an exam at the end. It doesn't need too many frills, it can be like a driver's license. Run people through all the common logical fallacies, give them basic instruction on standard sophistry, etc. Teach them how to identify, construct, and deconstruct an argument for logical validity. Hell, I'd be willing to say you don't even need the course, just make them sit the exam. You can study on your own time and be done in a day.

People aren't taught enough critical thinking, most of it is simple enough that literally anyone could learn it, and if you're too stupid to pass a basic critical thinking course you're too stupid to vote. If everyone who voted had read and proven they understood something like pic related or any other number of introductory critical thinking books, politics would be WAY less fucking stupid.

I'm hoping that in the future, when this sort of system would be possible, logistics are highly advanced as well, removing much of the problem with high-speed transit between cities. Cities that break the overall rule are disciplined by the greater collective via embargo, ideally.

My idea is less about the colonization and exploitation of the planet, more about the final settling of the planet. The "biodomes" are ultimately unnecessary, this idea could in theory work on earth, it would just be a nightmare trying to use the extant infrastructure. Colonizing a new planet solved the problem of already existing infrastructure.

Is there anything you liked about it?

I know its easy to hate on the political class but you NEED people with an understanding of our laws, how they were formed, important precedents and events that defined the society. And the history to know why exactly anyone should give a fuck about the traditions of the land and its relevance today. Especially for lessons on problems and how not to deal with them.

Heres a societal one.

Legal Dueling. Two people can challenge each other to a duel to settle matters of honor. There must be an impartial referee, medical staff and police officers to make sure things do not get too dicey. These costs will be bourne by the individuals or their associates. No one may enter a duel unwillingly.

One may choose someone else to represent them in a duel.

The duel will be limited to fists, swords or matchlock pistols of similar quality (quality to be okayed by referee before the match). The person being challenged may choose the arena and the weapons. However if the defender picks a proxy to defend them, then the challenger gets the prerogative of choice. If the challenger had originally brought a proxy to do the duel on their behalf, then the challenged gets perogative again.

Battle ends at First Blood/Tapout/Unconscious. While death may occur it, the referee and staff on hand must stop the match the moment the above conditions are met.

I considered this as well but if a corporation challenged a poor person they get to choose the match lock pistol which basically means a 50/50 chance.

Or even better, crowd fund a champion. You won't get a shortage of angry people who would be willing to fight for free for a good cause. Even if they lose, consecutive challenges would overwhelm any organization that continues being a prick.

Non government entities have disproportional amounts of influence on politics and society. This should simply just be reflected in the system somehow.

Example: Certain # of seats are reserved for the higher academia, a certain # for the top 3-5 most important economic industries, a # from news agencies, a # from unions, charities, etc... We can discuss how exactly the industries can choose their candidates but optimally it would also involve competing groups within each NGO with a different vision of how they want to represent their industry/field.

First off, I'd establish an autocratic government which allows a supreme ruler to do whatever they wish so long as it does not violate the constitution. Said constitution also cannot be amended. Political power would also be decentralised down to a local level, creating numerous city states. The purpose of the central government is to ensure that the ideals of the constitution are being upheld, and to draft citizens into the army during times of war. Corporations would not be allowed to lobby or bribe the government on any issues. If this law is violate heavy taxes are imposed upon the company. This would encourage local businesses to prosper.

In order for the above to really work, the nation would have to be self-sufficient. That means no Interventionism or entering global unions such as the EU. Immigration would only be allowed for high skilled workers or exchange students.

Healthcare would be privatised for non-essential servicrs such as weight loss surgery, social security would be minimal and the education system would be designed around encouraging students to learn independently rather than passing standardised tests.

The constitution also states that citizens are allowed to bare arms and that the life of any one who harms another citizen is forfeit.

It's just a rough outline, but I think it could work.

People seem to like the idea of a unified global nation, but I will go to the opposite side of the spectrum.

Break the world into tiny district sized, independent nations. One nation might be a small chunk of of a city, another might be some village. The resources and provided services will differ in those nations, most won't be able to sustain themselves so trade will be absolutely necessary and will be one of the tings that keeps the peace. Those nations will be tightly knit communities with small populations which will mean everyone in them will know and befriend one another. Them being so small will also mean there's no manpower to form standing armies, what they'l have is a police force at best. Population control will be taking place in each nation to ensure all works smoothly. What you'l have is a planet with millions of nations all working together to survive with citizens that have to be good members of society out of necessity. The HRE would be proud.

District, not city. No nation would be strong enough to wage war because all nations are dependent of one another. A nation can produce wood and food, but it can't produce enough energy which it will import from the nation next door, and not enough medicine which it will import from another nation. If that nation goes to war all supplies will be cut in order to maintain the status quo and the citizens will depose their warmongering ruler and go back to the way things wore.

Why do people like this idea, it's literally hell on Earth
> constitution cannot be amended
Again, why is this an idea people like, either you have a very barebones constitution or your society cannot adapt their laws to changing situations. Look at the US constitution, now I'm a Yuropeen so correct me here of necessary.
The wording has to be reinterpreted, right to free speech becomes right to lobby politicians, right of citizens to bear arms can be reinterpreted as the right of States to raise militia. Regardless of whether or not there are good faith interpretations they are possible. So you have to be extremely, anally specific, and be inflexible.
But what admit about term length rules and such, 2 year terms leave people always seeking re-election, for example, and undermine the authority of the house.

The same way, if two nations unite the supplies they import from others will be cut to maintain the status quo until the citizens put separatists in charge. Manpower will also always be spent on producing more stuff to satisfy the need of trade meaning war isn't possible.

Perhaps each of these villages could be self sufficient to a degree (Food, iron, air, plastic, and electricity) so that in the event of catastrophic fuckery the could cobble together a fix, but each village is otherwise specialized. Sure, New New York is the designated silverware, dragon dildos, and fur coat manufacturer in this region of Mars but if New New York were to suddenly get swallowed up by a Space Whale or whatever then every other village in the region could make the tools necessary to make silverware, dragon dildos, and fur coats.

For larger scale things villages can pool together to make cities. Cities are run entirely by delegates from the villages and have no actual governance of their own, they're a purely cooperative venture.

The only problem I can see with this is eventually nations and the like form. This isn't really a bad thing, but I think the way you're trying to take this is to eliminate war entirely. Rather, I think the system should take the necessary measures to prevent war obviously but also be designed in such a manner that it is robust (or even antifragile) to war. That is to say, if New Damascus tries to take over New Seattle by force the whole system shouldn't go tits up or else humanity dies out on Mars.

As for my contribution to the thread, I'd like to put forth the idea of point voting. I'm sure there's a more proper name for this, but here's how it goes:
>States (US States) are broken up into Shires made up of various counties
>Shires are made at the county level and county borders can be altered as needed to setup the system but NOT changed after the actual system is put into effect.
>Each Shire gets a number of State House Representatives based on their population; there should be about 10 Shires per state
>Every voter gets 10 points
>You can assign these points in whole integers adding to a max of ten to the various candidates; you can assign less than 10, but you can't assign, say, 3.584 of a vote
>Votes that aren't whole integers aren't counted; if you cast more than 10 then your highest vote is reduced down to whatever would make the total equal ten
>The X candidates with the most points are elected as the Representatives with X being the number of Representatives the Shire is allocated
>An arbitrary number of people is picked, say 20,000; every 20,000 people in the Shire is one Rep. Every time a Shire gains 5 reps however, every OTHER shire gains one. This extra rep does not count towards the increments of three. This is to prevent big cities from dominating the rest of the state
>State Senators are chosen similarly, with two Senators from each Shire; however, the House Reps vote on the candidates, NOT the populace.
>Reps vote on legislation and the like but can choose to veto a piece of legislation in their Shire; this means for a motion to pass it must benefit everyone in some way
>Federal House Representatives work similarly, Federal Senators are chosen by the State Government (Chosen by Governor, confirmed by Legislature)

A limited democracy where voting rights are only given to those who pay income tax. Paying the tax is totally optional, but you have to have tax receipts for the last 2-4 years in order to register to vote (depending on the election). Corporations don't pay income tax in this system so they don't get a vote. Also no matter how much money you pay, you still only get one vote. The tax is a flat rate though, the same for everybody. There's no electoral college either, it's a direct democracy. The voters don't get any special privileges, but they get special lapel pins to commemorate every election.

Basically I used 4chan and its Pass System as a baseline for designing this.

Some kind of mix of traditionalist ideals like the clergy strongly supporting the state and providing moral guidance to the people, traditional gender roles, maybe a monarch as an uniting figure, and more "third way" things like ultranationalism, militarism, the state having strong influence on the economy, an emphasis on nativism and support for those who genuinely need it, cooperation with our cultural kin, the ideal of an entire nation united, working together towards a renewed greatness, under Leader, King, and God. With common ideals like a reverence to History binding it all together, and things like nature preservation, animal rights or free access to culture thrown in.

Of course such a society would need to be fairly authoritarian and able to defend herself against ideological drift. Things like mandatory patriotic sports associations for kids older than 6, paramilitary youth organizations for those older than 12, and then military service at 18, coupled of course with thorough education and discipline should a good first step to ensure that a drift does not happen. At the very least it would make it easy to identify possible trouble makers early. A risk of rot and corruption from the top down is always possible, especially in generations down the road. I think exemplary punishment for any instance of corruption or failure to uphold the nation's ideals would be necessary. As for giving the people an incentive to be truly committed, I think it should be as meritocratic as possible. Maybe some kind of symbolic meritocratic aristocracy could be created, used as a propaganda tool, an excellence all are encouraged to reach for. They would be the elite, with no more rights than others, but with prestige and duties they earned. The monarch would also be a largely symbolic figure, with more or less the same role as the "aristocracy". There is the risk of a bad monarch, but everything would be done in his education to counter it.

After the surrounding region balkanizes into city states (large nations just seem so inefficient), I would attempt to combine the strengths of representative and inherited leaders. The strength of monarchs is they are trained in leadership, governance, and military strategy from the time they can talk. The strength of representative government is so obvious to modern westerners there's no need to expound on it here.

The system is thus: The city is divided into so many wards drawn on logical lines based on ethnic enclaves, commercial differences, class, etc. Councillors are elected from each ward, and the council votes on issues and recommendations with the population of their ward counting towards their vote. The Councillors select someone with leadership potential (and a spouse and child) based on their background, career, education, and other qualities and appoint them chief (terms such as king/queen, monarch, nobleman, etc. are discouraged. The chief's rule is not by divine right). This begins a dynasty. The chief dictates laws, commands the military, and pretty much changes things as he pleases; if he is wise, he will take the advise of the elected council into careful consideration.

Upon his death or abdication, the council judges his rule. If they judge it adequate, the late chief's first born child is appointed chief (or chief-apparent if a minor). If they judge the previous administration to be inadequate, they appoint a new chief of their choosing beginning a new dynasty.

Fail safe: The council appoints a secret group of men between 25 and 50 strong, codename: Sword of Damocles. They are sworn to secrecy, never to reveal their membership on pain of exile. They further swear to complete their mission even unto death. In the event a chief attempts to suspend the council or in the event of a coup, the Sword of Damocles will be activated. Their single mission will then be to assassinate the chief, their spouse, and their adult children.

Why do half the answers itt seem to be about balkanized micro states? It's the fastest shortcut possible to constant wars and infighting. A unifying government is a stronger representative on the world stage, benefits from major economies of scale in defence, trade, capital accumulation, and limits intra state conflict to internal debates and petty politicking.

So have a federalist system of mutual agreement with local lawmaking polities at the lower level.

>Hell for anyone who isn't totally indoctrinated into the groupthink

I wouldn't say hell, but yeah, that's kinda the point. There's room for debate within the frame of the ideology, but anything outside would be considered treasonous (or at least advocating, publishing such ideas would be). Anyone rebelling against such a society could only do it out of selfishness. Everything would be done to strongly encourage trust and productivity within the system at a young age. What people actually think, behind closed doors, without actually planning anything dissenting wouldn't be criminalized. For example, atheism would be in theory banned, because it could be put the legitimacy of the monarch and the law in question, but as long as you follow the mandatory cult attendance in one of the approved religions (foreign/dissenting ones would be banned) no one would bother you. I'm not even religious myself, I just think that religion is a great way to unite and guide the people.

There would be resistance in the first generation, that was born and grew outside the system, and then degeneration as times goes on, but I expect that there will always people that can be trusted to ensure the safety of the nation.

>I just think that religion is a great way to unite and guide the people.
The problem is choosing which religion is going to be the main one. Your system is going to crash and burn hard once people like Dawkins pop up if you use Christianity (as it is now) as your unifier.

China gets away with it because of Confucianism/Legalism/Taoism's focus on praxy and philosophy over doxy and revelation so unless you're planning on taking that into account (akin to how China has thousands of Folk religions, Buddhism, religious Taoism, ancestor worship, and Islam all coexisting more or less peacefully) the system won't last long. Getting people to convert en masse to Christianity (as it is now) is going to be hard unless you bring in some secular philosophy akin to Western Confucianism (that Christianity can easily insert into or remove itself from as needed akin to how Chinese Folk Religions can with Confucianism).

5 - Any elected or appointed government official or government employee who is convicted of a
crime, is automatically sentenced to double the average penalty a private citizen would receive,
with no chance for probation, parole, early release or pardon.

Do program to find the most intellectual, moral, sane, pragmatic, and kind child in country. (I know some of them don't usually mix together but the test would still try to find the best result)

After a few years of testing and of prioritizing the ones with the highest chance to be chosen a ruler and runner ups will be elected.

Said children will be heavily schooled in matters of state, diplomacy, history, law, military and etc' all the while giving them propaganda that they must serve the people and rule for the people.

These rules shall be upholder by a sacred constitution.

Once old enough they receive their rank and title and govern the country until they either resign, die, go against the constitution, or act in ways that did not benefit the country.

Said country will focus on gene therapy to produce the perfect human.

Also, there would be an "emperor." The "emperor" would choose his successor from a special school for "emperors," which would have a curriculum from the student's 4th birthday to roughly their 25th birthday, whereupon they'd be placed in the bureaucracy or army to gain practical experience. The "emperor" is granted considerable powers by the constitution, but would usually refrain from exercising them for fear of being overthrown and killed. Aside from being the public face of the nation, the "emperor" is in most cases a more politically active constitutional monarch, directing policy with endorsements of like-minded politicians and with a bill requiring the "emperor's" approval before becoming law.

There's plenty of ways this could obviously go very wrong, but I'd like to see what society would create if it tried to engineer an ideal leader.
