La Directa Democracia de el Centro de Tierras
The Direct Democracy of the Middle/Center Land
The nation is just barely representative. Basically the upper echelon only is allowed to use their powers to do things that another nation can not know about, i.e. supporting gorillas, blockade running for an ally, etc... that if found out would lead to a large and unnecessary conflict for la Democracia. The goal of the nation is to reach the truest form of democracy, direct from the people's heads. Because of this education is considered a major priority, six years of high school [mandatory], five of college and the equipment given to scientific colleges is the best on the continent. This is to allow people to have an educated vote, because nearly all votes are based 100% of the majority of the people, not representatives. There's also added sites and stations on the nations that have lamen's and educated terms for both pro and against any vote. There, for the majority of the time, are completely unbiased opinions and reasons and statistics.
However there is one problem with a 'direct' democracy, that the majority always rules, so what about the minority? That's what I've been contemplating for my nation. For the smaller groups of people to constantly feel like they don't matter and eventually, quit voting [it's not compulsory], these people would still have their strong views but would have no outlet for them. Except violence. Now while these people are educated they feel that their only resort is to fight for their say, but the tight gun laws wouldn't allow them to gain arms legally. Now, this is where you all come into play, I'm looking for several random nations to try to assist the insurgency, with their main goal of having one automated province where the minority would live and have it split up into states, and emulation of the United States, if you will. You can help them by whatever means you'd like, short of invasion and deployment of over eight thousand troops, be they advisers or not.
Now, I know I'm not the most articulate writer/speech(er?) so if you have any questions feel free to ask. I'm also trying to find a way have the minority groups contact the other nations but do it realistically and in a way that they will not find out. Also, the events will first start with a riot and after that point they will slowly escalate to police-targeted killings, and so-on. At first will be closed, but after two-three posts it will be open for contact. I will choose who I allow to participate, so if you request and I refuse to allow you, don't take it personally, but I will not explain my reasons for doing so.
