Empire-like Stateform.

Name: Anonymous(zOMG!) 2005-01-07 21:33

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.

Now, the direct voting of the Senate idea I like. But the rest....

"No fucking Partys(forbidden)."

"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's fucking stupid, and quite possibly constitutes oppression of free speech. If you don't want to vote, you have the right not to vote. Being forced to vote and being told that if you don't you'd go to jail for a period of time greater than some people spend for worse crimes is retarded. And does this happen when the Imperator election comes? People stay in jail until the Imperator dies because they didn't vote? Please.

And, of course, there's the party-banning thing. Again, the party system allows freedom of speech and consideration of all sides. Banning them could quite easily constitute oppression.

This sounds vaguely reminiscient of good old Weimar Germany, where the Chancellor could take emergency control if a crisis was declared. The thing is, nobody was stupid enough to LET the Chancellor continue ruling. Why? a) it's dumb b) as the Imperator gets old he could quite easily become set in his ways and resistant to change, c) eventually, you'll get someone who abuses this power and messes everything up (Hitler and Germany, for example) and d) the world changes often. The best way is to change with it. Changing leaders with our democratic system so far allows this.

Finally, the duel system, as said before, is retarded. I don't even need to say why, it already has been said.

How old are you? I'm guessing not very, because this idea is  oppressive, doomed to failure and outrageously ill-conceived. You'd need to put a huge amount of work in just to make it not retarded, and even then I'd take our democratic system any day.
