Here's how to make your community government.
There is a balance of power between 3 or 4 branches (Executive, Legislative, Judicial, Press).
- Executive: Term lengths starts at 1wk and doubles everytime they are re-elected on a positive fractional ballot (no "NO" votes are allowed). Must approve of any laws by Legislative. Appoints one Judge, if slot is available, per consecutive term.
- Legislative: direct democracy of anyone who shows up. Majority vote sets rules, quorum of two is all that is required. This means only two people are required to make a bill and send to Executive.
- Judicial: number of Judges set by majority vote by Legislative (quorum equal to size of present Judicial Branch). They get to set the ratio, not the number of judges. A starting ratio of 1 Judge per 50 community members might be good. Can stay for as long as they wish or until ratio is lowered and they are voted out.
- Press: your local billet that lets everyone know what awesome things you're doing!!
You can pay for your government with a small income tax in your local currency. Executive gets paid an agreed upon amount set by the Legislative.
Consider Incorporating your city to be recognized by the outer world and receive postal mail. You probably just have to appoint a "postmaster" who's willing to receive the local community mail. Outgoing mail might be more involved.
