What's your favorite country(or the one you'd like to control)?

[Bongitybongbong]

Mine would be the motha country the ell raisas, the oc(organized crime) creatas, the jet flyin, train ridin, son of a woooooooo, Italy

[mono]

Though I have never travelled internationally outside the U.S., and I would, by no means, want to control this country, I would desire to have ownership of Tibet, only to immediately give it to the Tibetan Buddhists.

[Jay]

Gimme any island I chose and I'm fine with that ;)

[Scheherazade]

I demand Cyprus... I would kick both Turks and Greeks out because of their incessant bickering on such a beautiful island and repopulate the place with the people I like...

OK, I admit... I thought this through... even before Bong brought it up!

[Jay]

Cyprus, be afraid, be very afraid ;):p

[Scheherazade]

Why?? I am offering a peaceful land to them? That or they leave! :p

[Jay]

Hehe, fair enough :D

[Jester]

im with jay, gimme a large island that has great fertile soil, a great beach, forests and what not then I will populate it with two hundred or so people and put a zero population growth rule (everyone can only have two children unless a whole family dies or more or soemthing liek, be strict about it, hope for a girl and a boy for each family but if not outlaw infaticide and abortion based on sex of child... which means parents would know the gender of their child until it was born.... oh and then of course it would be a lcosed community fun by coucil, dictator (im using that word becuase all leaders our dicatators of a sort) and a judicial cousil as well (checks and balences) and allow only minimal trade from outside world so we would be pretty self sufficiant... everyone would get food, shelter and basic clothing free fo cost but everyone works and everyone has same income, you want more than someone else, you have to work more hours... soemthing like that, still working out those details... okay you can ssee i've definatly thought about this, mostly to use in stories... so i'm happy to get another planet just the same i could increase the population size ;)

[Bongitybongbong]

so you'd like a early 1000's Ireland or England.

[Jester]

no that was a monarchy and too big.... soemthing else maybe the size of cyprus or hawaii... or even smaller...

[Scheherazade]

no that was a monarchy and too big.... soemthing else maybe the size of cyprus or hawaii... or even smaller...

Hey, I have claimed Cyprus already! :p

[Bongitybongbong]

no that was a monarchy and too big.... soemthing else maybe the size of cyprus or hawaii... or even smaller...

Cyprus is only 9,251 square kilometres or 3,572 square miles and Hawaii is 10,932 square miles or 17,601 square kilometers. Most people would like an island about that size if they could control a coutry.Maybe about half the size of England when it had forests.

[Stanislaw]

I could go for Poland

[Jay]

No Way, at least not before I claim an island very far away from Poland ;)
(geography note: Poland's about 20-30 kms from where I live)

[Stanislaw]

lol, I would start invading neighboring countries untill you move, common courtesy, lol

[Jay]

My point exactly, lol

[Stanislaw]

dont worry, Id leave czech untill you find your island. lol, and then I would return Poland to its former...er never quite achieved glory, then I would invade mongolia for a twist of irony...

[subterranean]

I want England, Wales, Scottland, and Ireland..Then command U2, Radiohead, Coldplay, Muse, Placebo, Massive Attack, Elvis Costello and etc..to held gigs in Buckingham Palace every saturday nite :D :D..

I will also kick the spice girls out ..no anti-christs allowed in my country :D :D
As good citizens, they have to do it

Awesome!!!

[Jester]

okay spice girls i would totally kick out but because thier anti christ... never heard of that... what do you mean by anti christ

[subterranean]

No lizzy poo, it's just some joke among radiohead fans.:) no worries

[Jester]

okay...........

[Bongitybongbong]

very good. in Italy (if Iruled) the judicial system would be of checks and balances, with a high court of 3 judges. They would deal with crime of horror and some domestic issues. the law making system would be a similar to Congress except there would be 3 houses. 1 similar to the Senate(highest house) in which 8 people per region(6 regions so 48 people) come together, 1 similar to the House of Representatives in which one rep. is 50000 people(at moment there are 50 million people so 1000 representatives). 1 would be of my invention in which every 5 years the highest ranked to lowest ranked could change accordingly. The ranks are by how well people pay taxes(more= good) and crime rate(lower= good).186762.6 sq miles makes for six equal regions of 31127.1 sq. miles. The lowest would get 6 representitives. 5th. would get 12. 4th. would get18 and so on until 1st would get 36 represntatives. As a total 126 representatives would be in the middle house.A total 1174 representatives. No anti semedics would be allowed because everyone knows the Holocaust happened and I think that was one of the most horrid acts ever. Pirating and Mafias are in fact legal.(hazaa for Stanislaw)

[Jester]

wow... very complex

[Bongitybongbong]

yeah well i had to do a report on this and afterwards i made this thread to see what all of you would do.

[Jester]

oh that explains this thread....

[Bongitybongbong]

it does... oh yeah I forgot to say that you're idea was very compelling. A self-sufficient coutry now would be an achivement for anyone so good luck.

[Jester]

yes of course first i would have to find a lot of money then buy an island... if i get the chance, ill test this, an experiment if you will

[Bongitybongbong]

gimmie some time and hopefully both of our plans will succeed, and if so then we could make an alliance in case of random invasions

[Stanislaw]

Interesting system, I thought of a similar system based off of Canada's geography, I entitled my government system forced equality. It was alittle harsh, but after being in place for two generations, the system would be flawless.

I am also glad that there are still people out there who remember the terrors of the holocaust, it was one of the most horrid events, and cannot be forgotten. One thought though, Adolf said he would create a thousand year reich, and even though he has died aswell as the official nazi party, who will ever forget the name of adolf hitler and the nazi party, by commiting those horrible sins against humanity, he did create the thousand year reich, for he still lives in the minds of people.

[Bongitybongbong]

Well my memory isn't straight from the battlefield or in Europe. I was born after that event.(end of the war was around 40 to 50 years before)

[Jay]

Smart me ;)... so that would make you younger than 40 ;) :D

[Monica]

No Way, at least not before I claim an island very far away from Poland ;)
(geography note: Poland's about 20-30 kms from where I live)


the Czech Republic is some 50 km from where I live :)

[Stanislaw]

Just curiouse, ever here of the family name Adamowicz? I know Poland is a big place, but there is always that chance.

[Monica]

poland is not such a big place, but i've never heard of this name. sounds nice, though :)

[Monica]

it was my 100th post :banana: didn't realise

[Bongitybongbong]

Smart me ;)... so that would make you younger than 40 ;) :D
Yeah you hit the nail on the head.Wise beyond my years.

[Jay]

lol, wonder how old the not-really-pimps in the US are ;)

[Bongitybongbong]

some age below 0.

[Jay]

below 0? Thought... ahem, better not comment on that.

[Bongitybongbong]

And the strangest person has spoken.(me)

[Jester]

here too but i use the war to remind me of how cruel humans can be and i use the war of liberation in bangladesh to remind me how cruel humans can be but how completly selfless mothers are for children that they loved (thousands of refugees went to india and there was no food so mothers gave everything they had to children who whithered and died in their arms) Hitler does live on buts its important that people know what he did, not just for the jews to remember, but for everyone so we don't repeat it, or let anyone get close to repeating it on anyone else...
