One easy change at least.... The rest I am still working out -.-

I want to forbid dedicated weapons... Tools that can be used as weapons but aren't designed to be one don't count. Forbidden Usage of anything as a weapon outside of self defence is the key

First of all: Thank you for the feedback Looks like optical polishing needs to wait, I will first need to optimise the system itself No, it may not be clear, but police, military and explores will obviously use weapons. I only want to forbid any private acquisition of weapons. I do realise most people want to lead something, and I believe this can be archived... For example the ministers will all be in charge of their respective ministries. However, I want to avoid to create a central power figure. To complex? I can try to simplify it... But I don't want to change its foundation, which is to have no single powerful person, and in general to try to put all players on a equal position. I'd love to hear your suggestions for changes though

About the weapons thing: My goal was to provide safeness inside of the country, while at the same time keeping safe zones at a minimum. Why do that? Well, to allow rouge and outlaw players to have fun

What are international goals for us? First things that come to my mind: 1. Economics I. Free trade deals perhaps II. Setting up certain standards for traded good III. Finding some way of protecting small countries 2. Military I. An ideal scenario: get everyone to sign a no-war treaty II. Maybe we can at least get some rules for war... No attack on cities and civilians for example. 3. Piracy I. Formation of an international league fighting piracy (sorry guys )

Considering I am not even done with school, I feel very flattered by your assumption that I might have studied law And yes, I think we can settle on an agreement. In fact, you gave me an idea...

I'm sorry... I admire your efforts and work, you are a great organisation and I look forward to working with you, but that is just to risky. I hope you understand, but I will not take that on to my non existent people. And I am a strong opposer of the right to bear arms , but that's an entirely different topic.

I would indeed love to see you as an ally, but forgive me, I will not put myself under a magistrate that could in theory pass any law

Clearly we will never make deals with the BOO... At least as long as you guys sell milk

Thanks to all of the lovely wishes If you just by coincidence see a cool logo post it

Milk is the number one reason societies fail. I will have heavy milk restrictions

Since you are here... Wouldn't you say the military is to powerful in cinderfall? Do correct me if I am wrong though... And the magistratum seems to be very powerful as well, being two major powers in one (legislative and judiciary).

A mixture of roleplay and interest. You see, I'm quite into history, and I always wondered how my personal society would work. Obviously and it can and probably will be simplified.

About the early game... I am already working on breaking down government, seperate stages and so on... The presented one being the final one. Media is in work... Hopefully I'll have something flashy by next week

I'd rather have rules and fairness, but I guess that's a matter of taste

I'd say current Germany is pretty good... I did pull some inspiration from it

So I take it you won't join? I think this system is a pretty good balance between not giving anybody to much power and efficiency. But that's my opinion

For me personally, cinderfall seems to vague in its goals. I also see a high risk of overpower full leading figures. So no, while cinderfall is very close, it is not exactly my cup of tea But as I said, if this ever works out, I'd definitely like to form an alliance

Interesting, didn't see them... Mind liking me? They're on the first page, how should I find them? While I do respect and admire cinderfall, I do not feel like they do exactly the same thing. However, I can easily see them as a member of our (HA, "our") Union. One thing to say, I have no intentions whatsoever to run this country. There are far more capable people out there who have MMO experience. I just wanted to get my idea out there and see what happens. I'd like to be some part though. Like, ministry of foreign affairs. obviously only by election

Tachen... Ich komme auch von Gamestar Jedenfalls fasziniert mich die Idee eine eigene Gesellschaft aufzubauen sehr... Hello... I came from Gamestar as well Anyway, I am fascinated with the idea to build an own society...

NOTE: At the moment,the following things are WIP: -A flag/logo -A simplyfied version of the government, designed to be more transparent -A version of the government designed to work with fewer people -finally, a constitution One of the biggest challenges any society faces is to create an environment were anyone is treated as an equal, where there is no difference regardless of a person's background. So this Society is based on fairness and aversion of conflict in order to create an environment where all players can feel as free as possible while living in a stable culture. High ambitions, but I'm optimistic. 1. POLITICAL SYSTEM The political power is split between judiciary, legislative and executive. The LEGISLATIVE is elected by the public in a representative vote. Not person, but only parties can participate. This is to avoid any form of populism. There are 20 seats in parliament (a number that will grow with society). Every party gets the amount of seats that they have votes. So if for example a party gets 20% of all votes, they will get 20% of all seats (in this case that are 4 seats). The minimum requirement for a party to get a seat in parliament is to have 5% of all votes. This is to avoid giving extremists parties large political impact. The job of the legislative is to create and pass the laws by which the society works by. Any desicion requires a 70% vote to be accepted. If a vote gets 60-69% of all votes, it can be repeated, and if it still gets 65-69%, it can be taken in front of the high court. Parties are allowed to form a union in parliament, however, this only applies if the created Union holds less than 50% of all seats. Parliamentarians are not required to vote accordingly to their party's policies if they believe that these policies do not reflect the publics interest. Furthermore, the parliament will elect the head of executive. The EXECUTIVE is formed by the head of executive, who is elected by the parliamentarians. After election, he/she will form a executive, meaning he/she will select the ministers. Those ministers will be set in charge of their respective ministries. Likely to be formed: -Ministry of internal affairs -Ministry of foreign affairs -Ministry of economics -Ministry of education and science -Ministry of social affairs -Ministry of police -Ministry of military -Ministry of development and environment -Ministry of trade -Ministry of exploration -Ministry of logistics -Ministry of tax -Treasury Each ministry will follow its tasks and report to the parliament and the other ministers regularly. The head of executive is to be understood as both a representative figure and the manager of ministries. Only a former minister can become the head of executive. The JUDICIARY is formed of a number of judges on different levels. These levels might be: -Private affairs -Financial and social affairs -Common crimes -High crimes -High Judges The 7 high judges are separate from the rest as their job will be to watch over all other governmental organs. If they can agree (by internal vote) that somebody behaved against the constitution, they can veto that desicion. A high judge must have had at least two other positions inside the judiciary. There is also a people's judge. If he believes a certain political figure is to dangerous, he can propose a public vote to the high judges if that person should be put out of office. If the judges agree, a vote will be held. The people's judge will publicly make a case against the figure, then the figure will be allowed to defend himself. The audience then votes. 2. ECONOMICAL SYSTEM A free market should be put in place, however, governmental policies need to assure producers, employees and customers rights. Furthermore, some branches should be controlled by government. These might include: -All armed forces -Public transportation In other parts, the government should participate, such as: -Exploration -Sciences -Technology -Arts To avoid monopolies, any company that controls more than 70% of its respective market will need to create artificial shortage in order to maintain competition. Exceptions can be made of oases by a judge and renewed regularly. 3. IMPORTANT RULES The aim is to provide a fair and stable society. In order to assure this, several rules are put into place: I. GOVERNMENTAL MONOPOLY ON VIOLENCE No private person or organisation is allowed to possess, produce or sell weapons outside of governmental work. The government itself will be the only one to posses weapons and weapon manufacturing facilities. This is to assure safety inside of social structures such as cities. Governmental employees being allowed to use weapons might include employees of the -Ministry of military -Ministry of police -Ministry of exploration However, the employees will not be allowed to own a private weapon outside of their employment. Anything that is not exclusively designed as a weapon is allowed, however, violence towards other players outside of self defence and defence of others is prohibited. Self defence or defence of others should only be done using appropriate force. II. UNCONDITIONAL BASIC INCOME Every citizen will be provided with unconditional basic income. That income might include -Money -Basic Resources -Basic Goods And will be handed out regularly. To assure a safe supply of the unconditional basic income, there will be a rise of taxation for higher incomes both for privates persons and companies. Further, a large part of the international trading of basic recourses will be done or at least overlooked by the government. The unconditional basic income will assure an equal starting point for every player, where nobody has to start from scratch in a world he doesn't fully understand yet. III. ABSOLUTE FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND INFORMATION No opinion or speech can be prohibited. The can be no censorship. No person or organisation can be persecuted solely because of the opinions, goals, plans, ideas or ideals that they represent. Furthermore, the government is required to release all documents to the public. IV. FREE TRANSPORTATION In the long run, it needs to be the goal to create free means of travel for every citizen. This means that the government needs to find ways to erect and establish both safe and free to use paths as well as safe and free to use public transportation vehicles. V. CREATION OF AN INTERNATIONAL UNION This is to avoid military, political or economical conflicts with other countries as well as to strengthen each member militarily and economically. While in the beginning, alliances will be made, the longterm goal is the creation of am international Union to assure peace, prosperity to its members and freedom and safety to its citizens. That Union might be anything from an alliance to a federation. Military conflicts with other nations are to be avoided at all cost. The borders of other nations as well as their sovereignty are to be respected. And most importantly of all, rule 0: RULE 0: Every players life, liberty, pride, health, safety and happiness is to be pursuit and protected by the government. Editors note: This is my basic idea. However, I'm very new to this genre (never played massive online before... I never was intruiged until now), so any feedback and/or advice would be welcome Also any Ideas for a Better Name or a cool logo? What can work, what not? To what extend is organisation in your experience needed? Etc... Sry for my noobiness

Versteht mich nicht falsch, ich finde es toll das ihr euch so gut organisiert es ist nur etwas das mir aufgefallen ist

Let me get this straight... There is a ministers of justice? You are telling me that the judges are under the controll of ministers? Am I the only one who finds that troubling?

?

Will everyone build own pods it will they be provided?
