Post your crazy "solutions"
| >>580579 difine "best." Like do people like the spiffing Brit count? Will we be run by people who use game-breakong glitches?
Also for the other one, what if one of the ideologies involves taking land from other ideologies?
(I'm assuming we won't bother with the question of who gets to inforce these systems)
| Solution: emplament each proposed ideology/system in a controlled environment like an uninhabited island. Participants will be those who support the particular ideology, specifically, the leaders and most vocal members of the movement. Let them experience the results of their actions for the world to see without risking the rest of society. This way there will be much less "theory" talk and people have an actual experiment to point to when making their case...
| >>580584 Well, that would be electoral fraud of some sort, but yeah, let's allow that.
Sure, they can conquer. That doesn't stop others from forming coalitions to stop them.
| ... if someone points out an issue they had with the set up or results of the experiment (such as sabotage or misjudgement) then do the experiment again, correcting whatever problem was mentioned.
| Imperialists**
| >>580591 depending of how much land each ideology has, we could trap them in Australia or New Zealand. The Emu Empire and Kiwi Empire will have to naval invade for clay.
| >>580594 do we get to choose who gets placed where or is it randomized? In either case there are many other violent ideologies, far too many for them all to be relegated to isolated land masses. Also what is the starting condition of each place? If they already start out with modern technology then distance won't really be an issue.
| >>580595 Either that or we put all the nasty one in the thunderdome.
Tech... I don't know... Basic modern weaponry? If they want a nuke, they should google it.
| Well that just sounds like authoritarianism with extra steps.
| Solution: Every year, when you pay taxes, you automatically get entered into the lottery. One of the prizes you can win is a government seat, of which there are five. Every year, we use an online poll to EVERY citizen who wants to participate to determine the approval rating of the candidates. The two with the lowest approval ratings get replaced. The one with the highest approval rating gets the privilege of being legal to accept corporate bribes. They all vote on propositions...
| ... that are suggested by the general public through a website, and which are filtered like stackexchange questions/answers: in order to have the power to vote on them, you need to have already made suggestions people like. Also, a propositon becomes invalidated after two days, and it's illegal to advertise for propositions before their creation.
If a politician's approval rating ever falls below 33%, we kick him out of office and whoever wants to come throw eggs at him can do so.
| Solution: everything is decided via cardgames
| >>580736 sorry, it's not crazy just the right solution to everything....
So here goes a crazy one:
Make everything harder for everyone by adding more and more bureaucracy to a point to even do anything with tax money the government will need to fill 300 documents and 600 copies plus 5 digital versions and require the signature of 79% of the population, except if the last day of the month is a sunday then in the third week only 69% of the population need to approve
| >>580739 Everyone is an illegal immigrant because they make mistakes in their paperwork, but get to stay because it's too difficult to deport them!
| >>580731 anything done online will be impossible to keep secure and will be subject to so much fraud there won't even be a point. And if even the propositions that are being voted on are also online then it would only take a simple outage (accidental or intentional) to shit down everything.
| The rich people would stick to typical card games like Yu-Gi-Oh and MTG because it costs so damn much to stay competitive. Small decision can get over and done with fast with a simple game like rock paper scissors. People more confident in their abilies will pick games with equal starting conditions like chess. More physically oriented people might choose a sport of some kind. Etc.
| >>580837 ha, you fell to my trap card, now it's a reverse match! The last to cross the finish line wins!
| If two people can't agree on the game they play then it will be decided by a coin toss. Of course we're talking about politics here so each side can choose which if their members participates in the game. This would mean that any relevant party would want to maintain a team of professionals at any given game, just in case they lose the coin toss.

| Simple. You propose a "solution", name it, and the others can either point out the problems with your "solution", or post theirs.
Gamer politicians: politics will be all about who is the best at simulation games. City sims for mayors and country sims for presidents.
Custom countries: Earth is distributed equally so each ideology has the same resources. Presidents have to follow that ideology and people who change ideologies are deported to their new ideology's country.
