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.

That duel thing is fucking stupid. I'm sorry there is just no way that can work out. I guarantee to you that some fucker in the deep south will order a duel because he is offended that the emperor hasn't re-instituted slavery, or some hippy in the west coast is pissed he said "god", or some psycho in the bible belt wants to kill him with holy vengeance because he isn't absolutely for criminalizing abortions. You seriously underestimate the capacity of idiots to wrongly fuck with the system because in their ignorance they perceive otherwise perfectly functioning social institutions to be defective.

Otherwise, without the dueling, which is fucking stupid beyond belief, it's a decent idea. Drop the duel thing.
