3) There will be a flat tax of 15% to be paid by all citizens holding a job. There will be no exemptions or deductions. Neglection to pay the taxes will result in comfiscation of property which will be held until the back taxes are paid. Taxes will be collected by the local governors.

Freedom of speech will be granted. The citizen may criticize the politics of the nation so long as it is not libel. Social institutions such as marriage will be legislated by a govenor at the local level.

8) Immigration will be controlled at the local level. The governor will decide the amount of immigrants to be allowed entrance into his or her community. A business may not hire foreign laborers without the permission of the governor. The govenor may ask for a sum to be paid for each foreign worker hired.

9)The foreign policy of the party is non-interventionist. The nation will not help other nations, whether they be allies or not. The governors and the monarch will deal only with the affairs of their respective sectors.

I'm in. Sounds efficent and has a strong central government. I like the flat tax and the inheritance idea.

Doesn't a monarchy require leaders to be related to each other? They sound more like an emperor to me.

I don't believe so.

Also, Thank you for joining the party.

No problem. However, I don't think we can run in this election because it was registered too late. :confused:

I just found that out. I thought we had until the 20th, but I guess I was wrong.
Still, we can plan for the next election.

long live the green dragon(heheh)!

I'm thinking of joining this, but I tend to be more aristocratic. The life terms would seem a burden if the leader was incapable of doing his job (coma?).

And I would not agree that all social institutions should be left to all citizens. This is too democratic. I'd propose something like the best, most educated citizens decide how social institutions shall be handled.

The leader will have a designated heir in case of such an emergency, most likely someone from the aristocracy.
The governor could legislate social institutions at the local level.

I don't believe so.

Vetalia's right, Monarchy entails inheritance of position. What you're describing is more of a Constitutional Autocracy.

I'll change the title.

It's supposed to resemble the Roman imperial system.

So long as the masses don't have the final say in social institutions, I'm in.

If that's alright.

If your main goal is to disenfranchise the masses and put in power those qualified to rule, may I suggest the Technocrat Party? We may not be able to run for the upcoming election, but neither are the imperialists.

Since neither of our parties can be in the election this time..want to join forces this once and lobby?

Wow, the Fascist and Libertarian agree on something. It's almost as though fascism isn't really left wing and capitalism can never be libertarian. Whodathunkit?

Not sure...our parties have some major disagreements when it comes to rights...

yes, we have different approches, we grant rights, you limit them.

or it also could be worded,
technocrats- you can do everything except this this and this
monarchists- you can do this this and this and nothing else

I think we should either merge or form a coalition with other parties close to us.

We don't so much limit them as not believe in them, but similar effect.

In general, it would depend what we were lobbying for.

Which party would you suggest with which to form a coalition?

Now, where did I leave my trusty guillotine...


Allons enfants de la Patrie
Le jour de gloire est arrivé!
Contre nous de la tyrannie
L'étendard sanglant est levé
Entendez-vous dans nos campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats?
Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras.
Égorger nos fils, nos compagnes!

Aux armes, les citoyens!
Formez vos bataillons!
Marchons, marchons!
Qu'un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons!

We are recognized, but we can't run for election until the next one.

One Thinks One Should Join the party

You're welcome to join, but we can't run for MP positions until next time.

Which party would you suggest with which to form a coalition?

That's the problem; I'd have to examine the active parties and see if there's any that we could join with.

I am not sure if there are many that would fit the criteria.

I'd say it would have to be an issue by issue basis and not a perfect fit; perhaps we could find other flat-tax parties or something like that, and form a coalition for that particular issue.

Economically:
NS Conservative Party
NS Classic Liberals

We would agree with them, considering the other choices, economically.

So, I think that's where we're going to form a coalition. Perhaps an economic one at first...and then we can build on that in the next election to actually have a representative.

Good plan. The NSCL don't seem to be as active, that will narrow our options. However, they did carry the second largest amount of votes.

a person by the name of "the keas" did form an imperial monarchist party with me before. perhaps we can form a coalition with them? i haven't seen anyone who joined it 'round in a long time.

We should contact him/her.

Bump for later discussion.

Alright, I'm back. Any progress on forming a coalition?

Not yet, but I think we should post in the Election thread. We could form a loose PAC which we will later give our support to a party.
