  1. have different "houses" to represent different dimensions of the country ( by-population, by-area, nature-&-future-generations, economy-as-a-whole )

  2. limit each level's "house" to 144-ish representatives, to suppress auto-factionalism ( which begins around 150-people )

  3. people vote on approval-basis only: these are OK, the not-checked are not, & then use simple approved-by-most-people to choose the winners.

  4. prevent DarkTriad/DarkTetrad types { narcissism, machiavellianism, sociopathy-psychopathy, sadism } from being eligible for any election.

  5. Judiciary, AND JOURNALISM, are required to be standards-based, objective, correct-reasoning, not-for-profit, & holding-to-actuality. Without honest accountability, we've got "civilization"-feudalism, NOT Civilization.

  6. Issue-diagram forums, NO LOBBYING/bribery. NONE. ISSUES decide everything. That means that ALL debates happen in asynchronous issue-diagrams, NOT in most-alpha-personality-"wins", TV-debates bullshit.

  7. All draft-legislation needs to be done in issue-diagrams, letting anyone in the world ( real-person, or useful-insight, not mere astroturfing-by-ideologies or corporate "persons" ) help us get the points right: draft-for-1/4-year before being elegible for signing-into-law, with few exceptions ( emergencies actually do happen )

  8. no enemy-agent can have citizenship, no incompetent-in-the-issue can vote in that issue ( same as you don't allow passengers to decide the flying of the airliner: only the pilots are permitted that, same with ecologies, same with regulation, etc: if you aren't domain-competent, you may participate in the discussions if you're doing-so responsibly, but only domain-competent people VOTE in the domain ), & we actively devlop/provide automatic education to get as many people as completely domain-competent in all areas as possible.

  9. critical-reasoning is required for full voting citizenship, & education-systems which won't produce it are fraud, & have to be treated as such. Yes, it's true, that high-lead regions may have enough IQ-deficit as to have a lower critical-reasoning capacity for that reason, but CORRECT THE PROBLEM, & unbreak as many lives as you can! The "education" which pushes imprint->reacting, or abdication-to-LLM, MUST be put in its place, disempowered, while putting proper development-of-human-intelligence as free as possible, as pervasively-available as possible, & as central as possible, for our civilization to remain viable, especially in ClimatePunctuation which is still in its accelerating-stage.

  10. Enforcing-disinformation is criminalized. Troll-farms, for-profit-propaganda, ideological-propaganda, institutional-dishonesty, ALL of it. Accuracy, objectivity, testability, correct-reasoning, etc, are the strength-of-the-"beam" on-which civilization sits: we allow that to fail, & we don't deserve to live through The Great Filter. Spine/uprightness is required in the individual, & it is required in the civilization, too.


Item 2 requires that the levels-of-government change as appropriate to the total-population, so extra-levels may have to be inserted, if the population expands enough, & the chain-of-representation was getting too deformed.

I don't yet know how many each representative would have to be limited-to, to make it still properly responsible.

This is just a top-of-my-head sketch, not a fully-worked-to-correctness rendition, so it's probably missing a few key things, & it's probably sloppily-worded.

But it communicates the gist of it, which is good-enough for considering.

Responsibility-archy is the point.

Nothing else is strategically-viable: we're deadmeat unless we enact/enforce responsibilityarchy for enough of humankind. At the whole-species level: gone.

Oh, gratitude to that yt video which identified the different voting-systems, & the flaws with each, eventually concluding that the only one which mathematically could work right was the approval-voting system.

I'd never have clued-in to that, on my own.
