Politiestaat, hè?

Doublethink.

None. Norway might be close but they still participate in whaling and their Nordic model is not as social anymore as it used to be, I've heard. Which is a shame, as I think more countries would benefit greatly from a Nordic model as a stepping block to a freer and more peaceful world.

Personally I favour a council socialism where all are equal, regardless of any circumstance; none has lasting power, no central government is apparent, no permanent imprisonment exists, and direct representatives can be called and revoked at any moment for specific issues. Everyone has free studying, healthcare, housing, and food.

Where one can enjoy the fruits of another's property, that should be fairly shared, instead of the "owner" being able to set prices. This would be done by nullifying any possibility to set prices or gains from this property.

There would be only multiple random ballots if votes occur. All options proposed shall be on the ballots, regardless of circumstance.

The challenge is making not only a central government not exist, but making it impossible for such a central government to gain foothold, and also to make it unattractive for communes to grow too big lest they become authoritarian.

This can be achieved by two methods:

1. Revolution, preferably peaceful.

2. Or by reform. One possibility is living together in a commune. To make money effectively meaningless, first all must benefit equally from the influx of money, without sensing a need of money. All people's income towards a collectively owned bank account, for example, that buys basic needs like food, housing for everyone, and gives personal property. Nobody has money themselves.

Ideally, this would start from one suburb, as then a core of a moneyless world can be built, but can be done internationally too.

A commune is delineated by: being the smallest amount of people that can sustain itself on its own labour and own populace, and being the largest amount of people where everyone could know one another.

This would in practice mean a commune of about 100-500 people, maybe 300.

To me, honour is being answerable to your duties of being a good citizen. Being honest, being helpful, being civil, having integrity - all that can be part of honour.

Cyrus the Great.

Personally I'd like me some blend between paperback and hardcover.

Paperbacks can be laid flat (but damage quickly), hardcovers not as easily (but don't damage quickly).

Something like a concealed Cased-in-Wire-O might be best, but where you don't really see the spirals between the pages.

Great game, can recommend! Used to play it a lot with a friend.

Tranquility?

Correctie (al dan niet bevooroordeeld):

Het nieuwe kabinet haat treinreizigers en maakt treinreizen voor iedereen lastiger.

What does this refer to? Genuinely don't know.

Those are good choices
