Empire-like Stateform.

a empire is close to a perfect stateform, imho.

No President, no nothing on the top. Only the Imperator, and even he is only their when something goes fucking wrong in the country.

Basicly it's like this/should be like this:

No fucking Partys(forbidden).
People-->Directly elect Senat.
If their is a crisis-->Senat votes if their should be a election for a Imperator or not. If Yes-->People elect Imperator(Can be anybody except a Senator). Imperator stays on top of the state till he dies(NOT till the crisis is solved because this would cause trouble[Why? Well, because nobody can say when the crisis is over!].). Then the Senat has to revote if a new Imperator has to be elected.

When their is a Imperator election, people can chose to "Anti"-Vote. If their is a majority of Anti-Votes, their is no Imperator elected. This Anti-Vote should be available at every election.

oh, and i forgot:

murder has to be legal, but only when it happens durring a duell. for a duell to be legitim, someone from the state has to watch the duell, and both sides in have to agree to the duell. also, the imperator HAS to accept every duell.

also, everybody HAS to vote. everyone who won't vote would have to go into jail till the next election. then he can vote... or stay in prison.

As much as I'd like an Empire, there are always rebellions.  Even with enough failsafes in place, there's no guarantee of safety.  If you had a self destruct mechanism triggered when you die, some disgruntled security guard might pop you with a rifle and end it all.  How do you know your henchmen are as loyal as you assume them to be?  How do you prevent an uprising within your own ranks?

I'm studying the US army to see how they run themselves stabily.  Much of it has to do with tabacco, booze, and whores.
