Question

Start a new country, what ideas and laws would you start it out with?

Answer

I would make two national laws:

1. No interfering with the states laws.
2. No harm to any humans (fighting, murder, etc.) (including no slavery)

I would also make a constitution with laws that included laws that were voted on by the states' Leaders.

The idea of the country would be to give most, almost all power to the states.

The nation would be sort of like my NS Nation "Jufonce".

Based on our political system, I'd do something like:

A congressman wants to approve a law.
Then the mayors of the congressman's state vote, if they approve, the governators of each state would vote and if they also approve, the people would vote.
If the people also agree, the president then puts the law into action.

Kind of complicated and utopic, but it'd be good.

Other than that, communism.

All power to the states wouldn't really be a country but I'm not gonna argue.

Mine would be a Socialist government which looks out for everyone. There would be some National laws like no killing and States can vote on other laws like weed legalization. However I would make Gay people be able to be married. States could choose driving Laws but they would all start at 16 and can change them by popular vote. The drinking age would be 18 along with smoking age. There would be a president but he would be more like the Queen of England rather than an actual ruler and would only use pardons and make sure the states don't go out of control. There would still be 3 branches of government and checks and balances so that no branch in the government has too much power. I would also be rather strict on gun control and make sure no one that wasn't licensed could have one, the test for a gun would be written to assure that no one unreliable could have one but there would also be target practice and things like that. My country would be very diplomatic and willing to work with different countries on national issues.

True, it'd be more of an alliance, no it would be like a union of states.

Possibly, but it usually falls apart because the states war with each other and stuff like that.

In my world, I'd do away with states and make it more centrally controlled. A bit of uniformity say in health care and education would go along way. Say in Australias case, States have shown themselves completely clueless on how to provide adequate and effective health care and other services. That's not to say a Federal government on its own would be any better but thats what it would be like in my nation.

It's a game where you control a country..
You can create regions for countries to be apart of.
You decide what goes on in the country, etc.

The regions are the funnest to participate in.

Hmmm.

See, this is hard. For a start, I'm not sure that the nation state is a good thing. Nationalism is about splitting ourselves off from each other, focusing on the differences. I'm much of an internationalist: we're all human beings, capable of rational thought.

It would be a loose confederation of local communities which would have power on almost everything. The only real "laws" would be that of a common foreign & defence policies, and that blatant profiteering at the expense of other peoples well-being would be a serious crime.

It woud be a lovely wee utopia.
