starmark2k Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I just watched a documentary on TV about starting your own country and it's not that difficult. So after 5 minute of thinking i decided i would like to start my own. Now I’m here declaring my intentions to start a new land where dreams will come true and geeks will flourish. Yes you heard me... You people are here at the start of what will undoubtedly be known as the greatest achievement of man (and woman). History will look back at this moment as the first steps to many more bigger and better....err steps...no... leaps. so i now stand (well I’m sitting) and formally announce that i am Emperor Starmark2k the 1st of... well... that one of my problems i don't have a name, actually i don't have many things. this is why i have come here. I need citizen, a government and a military. I Need You Join my nation and help me build it... Give me your ideas and views on this glorious Quest. First off i need a name so what will we call it? Geekland, the forever republic, coruscant,etc. I need laws. No walking backwards on a Tuesday, the word platypus is forbidden, etc. I need something to enforce these laws, so what do i call my military? Starfleet, the hard me, the poppy brigade, etc. I need a flag so if you're good at design send them to starmark2k@yahoo.com What should our salute be? "live long and prosper" sign, "Rock n' Roll" sign, etc. What will we salute to, we need a national anthem, What? and perhaps most importantly where do we start this new nation? Many positions are open reply here if you wish to be the prime minister, general, the guy who controls the money, etc. Spread the word!!!! A nation will soon be Born!

Emperor Devon Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 You're making some sort of joke, right? It is far from easy to start your own country. Here are some reasons: (1. All the good land has been taken. The only pieces of land left are the little islands in the Arctic, Pacific and Atlantic oceans. No one wants to live there. (2. What'll you do about money? You could just forget that system and have someone who makes the baskets, someone who makes the food... But that leads to trading problems. You'll need to import essential stuff (technology, raw materials, etc.) but how'll you pay for it if there is no money? (3. If you want money, what currency will you use? It has to be something VERY hard to duplicate. (4. Most people are content and have no wish to move to a land where they have to work more. (5. What about rebellions? I doubt you're an experienced politican, and some people might want to take matters into their own hands. (6. What will you do about languages? Provided everyone from LF wants to live in your country (unlikely) what'll you do about communication? (7. You'll have to start your country in a land no one lives in. What'll you do about building houses? This is all a joke... right? If you start a country, you're doomed to fail. No offense is intended. I am simply pointing out the flaws.

What'll you do about building houses? These are all issue to be addressed, this is why i need you people. What do we call owr currency? Fun buck, ponties, banannas,etc. What should our national language be? English, french, klingon,etc. Hey while we're at it we need a national religion. christan, islam, Jedi, etc. Your friendly megalomaniac Supreme Emperor Starmark2k The First Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patomon5 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 The religion would have to be inclusive of all of the members of LF. Since the majority of LF is based on GL's vision. How about GLism or forceism. The philosophy of the force, stands on its own. Neither dark or light. That choice is for the individual to make on his own, including the reprocussions of his choice. Money, we don't need no stinking money. We exchange services and products via credit that has been earned. No need to smelt metals into coins or make paper money. A chip is placed in you at birth and along with DNA sequence reading, and retinal scanning the chance of getting mugged is lowered considerably. Every time you work your chip assigns credit you can spend to buy anything you want. If you can't afford it work more. Sorry, haven't figured out the equitable marriage/divorce problem...yet. More to come... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Sitherino Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I'm already going to start my own country. Buy a small island in the caribbean. I'll start import/export deals with various countries and employ "martian knights" to beat asses for me. Our main agricultural crops will be marijuana and magic mushrooms. We'll make various kinds of alcohol as well. And I'll sign a treaty with Europe and the US so that if anyone tries to fight us we'll get their small crappy troops to help us destroy the enemy. Abortion and Gay marriage are legal and unquestioned, anyone opposed to this is slaughtered in the street with a rainbow colored sword by a large man named Dorothy. It'll be held on sunday and we'll call it "Sunday, Bloody Sunday". And play the U2 song of same name. The country will be named Sithopolis, making us a pleasure paradise to all Star Wars fanboys/girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabretooth Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Supreme Emperor Starmark2k The First Emperor? You need to fight for an empire. You don't just pick up a random piece of land, call it Geekland and proclaim yourself Emperor. Next, Monarchy is history. If you rule over your empire alone, Bush is gonna invade you and lock you up with Saddam. Finally, there is no free space left to establish your empire in. Call a tiny island your Empire and you will a huge laughing stock.

Emperor Devon Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Can I be the person in charge of religion and literature? And the president? And the Grand Vizier? My first act of office as Grand Vizier is to offer several pieces of advice: (1. Get one little island in the Pacific. Use our (small) military to get another island. Draft all the fit young men. (2. Repeat. (3. Uncork the champagne. We now have a world-spanning empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
