My Goverment

[boccobrock]

Ok, here it goes. All though I can't think of a name for it (possibly Computerized Communistic Democracy) I have a great Idea for a goverment that should cost very little to maintain (at best nothing) , and represents everyone.
In this goverment, There are four things that control it:
1. The Central Computer
2. The Police
3. The Union
4. The People

1: The Central computer essentially computes the best option in everything, figures out all economic things, like how much money to print, and also figures out the best option on other issues (except the ethical part). Except for the economy, the computer simply supplies a suggestion to the people. The computer does control the economy by itself in the sense that it prints money, set rates (like interest rates) etc. The computer is NOT an AI, and it can only be updated by a specially appointed policeman. Also the computer gets its input through the police, the police tell the computer the circumstances. Now as far as the computer, lets say its very sophisticated and possible to program. Also the computer handles the voting, though the voting section of the computer can be edited by the police, and doesn't require the special program editor. Also the computer is supposed to make sure the people know the extent of the issues, and make availible to the people all the laws stored in its databanks.

2. The police are mainly computer savy people, and some enforcers that make sure the voting system is done correctly, and that the wishes of the computer are taken out, and enforce laws (only if the people tell them to). The police give the Computer its input, make sure the voting is correct and everyone's vote is counted, and they are appointed through voting by the people. Thier term is 2 years, but the Union can force a policeman off the force, but a policeman has to serve at least a month, but during that month they have limited abilities. Now about the special policeman that can uprgrade the Central Computer: He must to have served at least one full term in the police force before they can run for this position. Also there does not have to be a central computer upgrader if the people vote to not have one in the elections.

3. The Union is, in effect, an organization that makes sure the police do thier job. The people that make up this organization are people that are from each region, each region has only one representative. These people has a term of 2 years, and a minimun of one month, as the people of each region can vote to get rid of thier representative, the people that make sure they leave are the police. The Union is not a congress and they do not meet. They simply are normal people that have a few more responsibilities, mainly voting and making sure the police do what they are supposed to do. They don't have a very demanding job, and they stay at thier homes, as I said they do not leave to anywhere.

4. The last piece is the people. Thier job is to, as a region, make sure anyone who breaks the law is taken care of, work for the good of thier region, help each other, and to vote on laws, and elect representators for the Union, and elect the police. Also they have the ability to get rid of thier representative, though only after they have spent a month in office.

Now the most important part: The Regions. Regions are a group of 1,000 people. Now you make think this would be impossible to regulate etc., but remember this is done by computer, and also Regions are to be 1,000 at the time of creation of this goverment, so kids wouldn't have to leave thier area, and to accomadate this, regions can grow in size. Now this is where the core idea of communism is implemented (also called Markism): Everyone in each Region is equal, and all of what thier work produces is given to the goverment, and the money the goverment makes off of what the region makes is given to the people, with a small part of it going to maintain the goverment, if the goverment is costing money to keep it going(this amount is calculated by the Central Computer). So the motivation to work is to make the whole region better (Another idea a friend gave me is to let each person decide how much to give the goverment, and through peer pressure and region pride(The computer also tries to get each region to compete with each other, so if a region works super hard, they would be the best, generate the most output, and be the richest) they would want to give the most. I forget the purpose in this but you make think of it.) A core thing is that no matter how poor a region gets, EVERYONE has a computer. This is a source of entertainment and how the elections work, people electronically vote (the police fight the hackers) and get the facts on the computer. Another thing is to make sure everyone is happy, the goverment (Central Computer and the Police Together) try to make sure everyone has something to please them, though noone recieves everything, unless of course thier region is generating extremely high output through work. As far as jobs go, the computer gives each region a list of what they can do with their region (what can be farms etc. depending on demand) and what jobs are needed, like the electricity, and water works. (School is to be done electronically to eleminate costs.)

Sorry If I left anything out, please leave any opinions and any problems you see.
