Right now, I have a 'large' government. I'd like a government as small as possible. Any way to decrease it? Thanks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Stop social welfare programs for one, then eliminate education, and just stop providing any services except for national defense. That would shrink your government by a large percent.

Thank you very much!

And don't forget to outlaw the military and police!

Wrong and wrong. You need the police and army to keep the people in line.

We're not trying to keep the people 'in line'. We're trying to shrink the government.

The police and armed forces are a necessity. The Triumvirate has found that the best way to keep down the Metropolitanian citizens is through a powerful military and police force, combined with public capital punishment.

But remember he's trying to shrink the government. Not keep his people in line.

Focus on centralizing power. Eleminating national councils and such reduce the size of governments by a large percentage. Centralize the power by either adopting a monarchy or a dictatorship. Get rid social welfare and education, or privatize education and welfare (these points were made earlier). Reduce individual rights, get rid of voting. Outlaw alternate political parties.

Militarize the government.

Back any nut jobs who want to provide tax breaks, cut spending in all areas, continually over time.

Make sure you don't have a states economy, and a small army.
