    Seriously, folks.

    This is a chance to elaborate on ideal government, extrapolated from what makes a good mod, to what makes a country one would not wish to escape from, or write farewell posts from within.

    S.A.M. : "I shall have to duel each one of the others."

    You know you can click and advocate several. Don't cop out on me. I will hasten to your defense if you are attacked, and fight until death or ban. I am from Samistan. Samistani I am. Lead on.

    The ideal government should be decentralised. Panchayat system zindabad.

    May I apply for citizenship? I am aspiring to sit on the UberString Jury, and the Council, which should I become sole Citizen, I will demand a seat in, once I am sufficiently educated (in public) to qualify. I believe in informed postors, and posters.

    J'accuse!

    Or some such high-minded Superstringistani rallying-cry

    What should be our rallying cry?

    "Bureaucracy: It's Not So Bad."

    "100 Strings Attached Forever"

    I would vote for Superstringistan, if the rules would allow it.

    S.A.M. :"I shall have to duel each one of the others."

    That's unmistakeable talk of war. (Dho-lak, Dhooooooo-lak) What response from the other modrepubliks?

    I 'stan with Samistan.

    Not merely because we're ahead (we are, look!)

    But I'm still applying for other citizenships, if I may.
    This could be a serious conversation about ideal governance, in moderation.

    Couldn't it?

    Surface composed of ever-shifting feces-based mud, with turd-rock nodules protruding at irregular intervals...

    Atmosphere of noxious fart-gas, flatuous winds wafting lazily about an vast equatorial bog-belt...

    Shallow, tepid, uric seas covering an indeterminate area...

    There's Intelligent Life here- Intelligent Communities, even. Fleetingly, fartingly.

    But we can build a paradise; anything we want.

    We'll never run out of gas

    With good enough mods, we could take over irl. They're mostly asleep, politically, irl.

    'scuse me

    Alrigth, I'm going to elevate this discussion. Ready?

    Superior Moderation takes moderate superiority. That is, without noticeably condescending to any morons, deftly putting errant trains of collective thought skillfully back on track.

    How does one do that?

    I'm going to leave some more postors more inspired than I some time to respond now, because I'm post toasty.

    Still, I know there's potentatential here.

    "We" can't build anything.
    It's "of, for, and by" the nanny-state brigade these days.

    The "Golden Age" so often prattled on about was marked by minimal moderation, mostly doing nothing.

    Shove the "Legion of Apparatchiks" out the door, sez I.

    Who needs 'em ?

    Hmmm.. Life in 'Bells' Hell'..

    • Free public education (yes, including tertiary) and health (including dental)..
    • Democracy.. voting would be voluntary (as an Australian who is forced to vote, I could never impose such a thing on another individual)..
    • I would be supreme leader until my death.

      Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

      .. The people would have a say in who they wanted to govern the country (eg PM, ministers, etc)... To remove me from power, every single person within the country would have to vote and one single 'nay' and I stay in place.. 100% vote would be required.. (Hardly democratic, but hey.. girl's gotta dream

      )..
    • No death penalty. Euthanasia would be legal however for people who are terminally ill.. only with the absolute consent of the sick individual.. after psychiatric exams as well of course.
    • General public would not be allowed to own firearms of any kind... not only could they result in killing innocent civilians.. people could decide to take pot shots at moi and that would be a no no.
    • Housing would be available to the needy and easy low interest loans available to the population for the purchasing of homes, etc.
    • National service will amount to 24 hour baby sitting services for my two children.. Can and will be called on at any time.
