What We Don't Do

The Rules
  1. Everyone is equal in society and under the law because no one is better than anyone else, why should anyone be treated better.
  2. Killing is not allowed because it is bad, does this need a rationale?
  3. Stealing is not allowed because it is a sign of greed, one of the things we wished to avoid.
  4. Flying as in running away is not allowed because it would look bad for the community as a whole and who would want to run away anyways?
  5. Trials for crimes or disagreements take place at the daily meetings and are only acted upon based on a simple majority vote because it is fair.
  6. Punishments for crimes are determined after one is found guilty and are also determined through majority votes also because it is fair.
  7. If there is ever an even number of adults, the youngest adult's vote does not count until there is another adult in order to prevent ties although it is against equality, everybody goes through it and it's only for a short time.
  8. All jobs earn similar pay so that no one makes much more than anything else because it makes things equal.
  9. Any money made through tourism or exports will be spent on imports to better Pwaddle because we don't want their money, just their stuff.
  10. Population cap of around 500 because if we have too many than our democracy will be extremely inefficient and difficult to manage

  2. You guys sound like communists with your rules. Also, if you have a population cap, then what happens when you guys overpopulated (if not by accidental immigration, then by birth)? How do you decide who has to leave? Or maybe do you kill off the person instead? How do you decide then? Is it a majority vote too?

  3. I personnally don't like #10, because it reminds me a little bit of Moore's utopia.

  4. What will you do when there is overpopulation? Your community seems too controling. Why can't you leave? How is this fair?
