Create a Country

I just copied and pasted most of my argument from my previous debate on the topic in which my opponent forfeited. Read my argument carefully as I have added some things and changed some others. Please do not forfeit like the last guy I debated this same thing with. The laws and general facts about the country involve my countries society, political structure and organization, and economy. Our countries appear to be opposites. Ironically, mine is a free market monarchy and yours is a command economy with a democracy. This will be interesting. Dixie Laws: 1.Absolute freedom of speech 2.Absolute freedom of gun purchases, excludes rocket, bomb, missile, or other explosives 3.National religion is protestant Christianity, will not be a theocracy, but the government will be allowed to promote the religion 4.Freedom of occupation-person may work anywhere they want to, government does not determine jobs 5.FairTax( fairtax.org ) for details on this, basically it is a sales tax as the only system of taxation. Will not shift the tax burden onto the poor, go to the website to see how it specifically works. 6.Murder laws-any person who is on YOUR property may be shot, law does not apply in cases such as a little boy who goes to get the ball that rolled in your yard. If you are not in your property and you feel threatened, you may fire on the person. If he lives, you must pay the medical bills, if he dies, you do not have to do anything. You are not allowed to shoot anyone who is already on the ground. 7.No theft or destruction of property. 8.National dress code a.Boys i.No sagging ii.No short shorts(more than three inches above the knee) iii.No body piercings iv.No visible tattoos that are bigger than a 7" diameter plate(no full body tattoos) v.No sexual themes can be visible on clothing b.Girls i.Only ear piercings ii.No visible tattoos that are bigger than a 7" diameter plate(no full body tattoos) iii.No sexual themes can be visible on clothing 9.No abortion except in cases of the mother"s life being in immediate danger 10.Parents must raise their own children a.Abandoned children"s parents will be jailed b.No adoption c.If parents cannot afford a child, they will have the baby, BOTH parents will be sterilized, family will be put in public housing in which food, clothing, shelter, etc. will be provided d. If parents are abusive, both parents will be sterilized and the children will be dealt with on a case by case basis. I forsee however, that they will be put in a type of school that they do not leave and they are educated and sheltered there. 11.No racism allowed, employers can choose whoever they want to employ though Penalties for violation of laws: 1.Be given the choice of: a.Being starved for a month b.Twenty lashes with a whip everyday for a week c.Being branded on the forehead with their crime 2.In severe crimes a.People will be branded on the forehead with the crime, receive twenty lashes everyday for a week, and will be put in a cage with nothing but water and the door will not be opened for two months. Economy: 1.Mixed market, closer to free market though 2.Exports a.Lumber, fruits, coffee, beef and beef products, sugar, oil, cars" 3.Imports a.Will be limited to raw materials preferably. Desire to be as self dependent as possible 4.Keeps most oil for itself, manufactures own material, like cars, machinery, etc. a.Exports only the surplus 5.Amazon will be largely cut down and replanted so that the trees are in neat rows and the trees produce fruit. Proper measures will be taken to ensure no desertification or erosion. 6.Surplus revenue will go towards the military (a strong military is desired), and infrastructure. Government 1.Unique style, it will be a monarchy, it will have states in the country, and it will have districts within the states 2.All tax collection is within the districts 3.Sixty percent of district revenue goes to the state and fifteen percent of that goes to the country. This ensures a smaller central government. 4.Monarch makes decisions regarding the military, foreign policy, currency, and trade. Also appoints governors of the states and the governors appoint leaders of the district. 5.Monarch will be elected by the people after the previous monarch resigns or turns sixty. Minimum age for a monarch is thirty and they must have experience as a governor. Governors must have experience as head of a district. 6. The districts major responsibility is land grants and collecting of taxes. The states are in charge of most all the law making and decisions regarding taxes Government in the economy 1. There will be private healthcare and healthcare provided by the government that must be paid for. 2. Retirement funding is not required but an optional retirement system will be offered by the government. 3. The government will offer a certain amount of free energy proportional to the size of the family living in a residence. All else will be paid for(energy is solely hydroelectric). Demographics 1.90% white, 10% black 2.Male to female ration is approximately 1:1, but this is just an estimate, not a rule. 3.Immigration is extremely limited 4.Population is approximately 100 million. 5. there will be a city population cap. No more than five hundred thousand people(this is about the size of Atlanta, GA) can live in one area classified as a city. Technology and education 1.Technology will be most advanced in the military. 2.Medical technology will be invested in 3.Citizens will have simple technology. Will have computers with internet access, will not have smart phones. No social networking. 4.Education will teach logic and reasoning, history, simple mathematics, writing, debate, politics, and very basic science. 5.Specialization classes will be offered early in high school. 6.Colleges will be inexpensive and will be primarily technical/career based colleges. 7.Technology will not be overly influential in this society. 8. This country will pay for the college education for a person who chooses to major in a field that does not have an ideal number of employees. i.e. if the country needs doctors, medical school will be free. If the country needs people working with energy, college for that will be free. Foreign relations 1. Most foreign relations will be military alliances. 2. My country will be as self dependent as possible. I plan to have it so that the primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors of the economy each employ about the same number of people. Imports will be, preferably, only raw materials that are not readily available in the country. 3. There will not be taxes paid on exports. Location 1.The location of my country is ideal as it offers plenty of space for farmland, has ample arable land, offers plenty of room for industrialization, it also has mountain regions for mining. Military 1. Powerful military 2. Extremely advanced technology 3. It is interventionist only if it is paid to intervene. 4. It will attack any country that poses that threatens us. 5. the military will spend no more than a year facing a country that it is paid to attack, two years for handling a threat, three years for handling an attack, and six months for handling a bad humanitarian issue. This country's desires 1. This country does not desire to be an economic superpower. 2. This country wants to have a high quality of life that is virtually independent from the occurrences of the rest of the world. 3. This country wants to have the military power to be a military superpower and will assist allies in wars and ensure that countries would be too fearful of the military to attack us. This country wishes to offer military assistance to whichever side pays the most to us in cases in which we are neutral on an issue. 4. This country wishes to provide a life that is simple for the people through technology, but not dependent on technology.
