Second Life has grown so massive, that its time to carve
up the map into Republics with their own currency.
The map will be divided into 5 Republics:
Republic 1: Rome (R$)
Republic 2: Gaul (G$)
Republic 3: Carthage (C$)
Republic 4: Macedonia (M$)
Republic 5: Judaea (Makes Up All Private Islands) (Rebels) (J$)
The Linden Dollars will be retired and replaced with the currency
of each Republics. Each Republic will have a currency pair with every
other Republic.
To make this a true Republic, each Republic will elect 1 Senator to
represent them in the Second Life Forum. Each Senator will cast a
vote to elect The Emperor, who will serve a term no longer than
6/months.
The Senate is tasked with controlling the following:
a) Money Supply for all Republics
b) New Land Allocations for all Republics
The Emperor is tasked with the ability to ratify the
Senate's decision or Veto it. If a bill is Vetoed, it requires
4 of 5 votes in the Senate to overturn.
The Birth of the New Republic has begun.

Each Senator will cast a vote to elect The Emperor, who will serve a term no longer than 6/months. First of all, by definition, an emperor is not an elected position. Second, we already have an Empress. Bow your knee to her, knave! P2 _____________________

Otherwise, maybe I should band together some like minded Capitalist, buy Havoc 3, outsource coding work to India, lease servers from rackspace, and high some more Indians to log into SL and direct market users to sign up on our system... We will call it Duke & Duke. _____________________

Republic 5: Judaea (Makes Up All Private Islands) (Rebels) (J$) Judaea? Does that mean I have to be at constant war with other islands because we cannot agree on borders (for hundreds of years to come)? </sad political jab> MM _____________________

Here is the silver lining of multiple regions with multiple currencies
in the same world. The various quirks about how people live, buy land, regional populations, products for sale, etc will all translate into a much better economy than the current 1-Global world with the Linden Dollar as the only currency. The Rome Republic might be rich, whereas Gaul might be poor. At least for a time. New members who can't afford to live and start a business in the Roman Republic, setup shop in Gaul. Overtime, the Gaul economy will grow and prosper. Time for LL to subdivide the map into regions with different currencies... _____________________

MM EDIT: I'd just like to note that I am not trying to be insulting to anyone in the middle east. I am merely "sarcasting" about the problems there. My apologies if anyone is offended. _____________________

This has more to do with government the land and economy.
*moves thread* Empires are out of fasion. Lets try something a little more modern. If we are going to do this right, I think we should have a court system to enforce the laws but also verify thier validity in reguards to some constitution (TOS & CS). A house of representatives and a senate, to propose laws and iron out the details. Then finaly a president to... to do what? Why do we need a president? The main argument for a president in RL is to manage the military. We don't need a military, its not like we send forth our legians to capture new land. Ok so no figure head, they only attract egocentrics. Lets let LL be the court system. That only leaves electing the congress. *thinks to self* too much work, won't ever happen and we do just fine without it. _____________________
