Well, I don't know exactly where to start in thinking of a world government because it's hard enough running a household, let alone anything bigger.

What would the ideal city for a population with a high percentage of autistics be?
How is Silicon Valley?
I think it would be important to have good working environments like libraries easily accessible, not just one in the city core but many all over. The city would have to gain a reputation of having and teaching things that aspies are often good at.
I guess it could be good to adjust the school system to make it more autistic-friendly - Someone said some time ago in an article (I think) that the older school systems with stricter and more organized rules were alot more friendly to autistics.

Now, those are some comments that make a lot of sense. Children certainly do get a strong message if the adults in their lives fail to act against injustice. They get the message that adults are not to be trusted or relied upon.

The idea of a global nation where all are treated equally sounds interesting. Whether asian, african, american, oseanian or european.

Well yeah, Palpatine was a "big" fan of Democracy ;p

Well, I think the peace-keepers should have been given the power to shoot people who were killing off innocent civilians in Bosnia and other places. This is because it's pointless just watching bullies destroy other people.
But as for this Marshland, it sounds like a rather dweeby place really. It would be better to not worry so much about all the politics and get to work on building attractive schools, churches, public buildings and housing developments.
Gay people shouldn't get eaten up by monsters either - that's horrible to think of!

You're cool and interesting.

And where's the Wiccans? You've got to have a higher saturation of Wiccans to make the place more interesting.
09-23-2007, 03:18 PM
That's not enough. There ought to be at least 5% Wiccans.

GuessWho Wrote:
9th grade honors civics: we got to write a constitution for an imaginary country. Mine was Elockia (present day Australia and New Zealand)
Someone else had a party country (with a Gulf of Girls)
Later I actually wondered if my immediate family was a country what would we be?
We definitely have religious tolerance (Dad liked Judaism, Mom liked Hinduism, I became a Christian and my brother has his own creation), although I imagine the armed forces (which figure prominently in a country under threat as many Aspies are) probably had a strong current of anti-Christianity up to 1992 (my dad feared the Christians almost as if they were Nazis and Dad grew up in Wisconsin old enough to remember Hitler, only 3 years too young to fight when the war ended, he managed to avoid combat in Korea by enlisting and choosing a specialty but I think there was some contention about whether he enlisted under imminent threat of being drafted).
Culture (relevant to office romances)
1. Asking for a date: disrespectful
2. Advertising a status of engaged, married, depending on the company, possibly even wearing a wedding ring on the job: very disrespectful, as if to imply a sense of social superiorty on that status. Strong emphasis on work-related criteria only as a yardstick for social comparison. Strong emphasis on concealing relationship status (although it would be hard not to tell your boss that you have kids and can't work till 10 PM at night): rights of working parents a neglected part of law
3. Parental rights in higher education and the military also very neglected. Attempt is made not to draft parents when a draft is necessary. Difficult for parents to enlist.
4. Gay marriage: the state doesn't give a damn whether you choose to be faithful for life to one gender or the other. As Christianity is not a majority religion (at least not by much), large number of non-participating citizens block any attempt at rights limitations.
5. Abortion: Legal, for same reasons.
Demographic statistics
Average educational attainment: 14.4 (better than a U.S. associate degree)
Average household income: based on average 1.63 working adults per household, $99,500 Marsh or $92,000 USD
Percent married: low, perhaps 20-25%
Births per woman: 1.3 (more like Japan than U.S.)

Hey, I'm Aussie and there's no way I'd want to live in a country like that if there are so many silly restrictions on dating in the workplace.
I'd like to see the Government and unions working in co-operation and restrictions on discriminatory practices by employers. I'd also like to see centralised wage-fixing and in the public service, public service wide bargaining.
