Hey you, are you interested in micronations like the Principality of Sealand, or the Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands?

Maybe you've found the idea of your own micronation fun but struggled to come up with an idea on your own?

Well here we are with the founding of a brand new micronation, that anyone can join and take part in via direct democracy!

The name of this brave new democracy? Well it sort of doesn't have one yet, to allow its early members to decide! Though at any point its name could be democratically changed so if you're seeing this much later you can still influence things!

How on earth does this work? Well we have a constitution and vague psuedo parliamentary system that dicates how things are to be run, anyone can submit a motion to change something or ban something, as our official territory at time of writing consists of one (1) discord server.

Interested in the potential chaos? Read our constitution and join the discord! We'll need deputy speakers and judges, not to mention any other elected roles people manage to get voted in!

Rules

section a: normal gameplay

immutable: on the start of a players turn, they propose a change to the rules of the game, and then all players will vote. all of this must happen according to the guidelines within section b.

mutable: on a players turn, they must roll a die (standard d6) to determine the number of points to recieve on that turn. the amount awarded to the player is the number on the upright face of the die. if they have not yet won, the player's turn ends and the next player's turn begins.

mutable: the first player to reach 200 points wins.

section b: rule changes

immutable: a player may only propose to change the rules of the game in one of the following ways: adding a new mutable rule, modifying an existing mutable rule, removing a mutable rule, transmuting an immutable rule into a mutable rule, or transmuting a mutable rule into an immutable rule.

immutable: all players, including the one proposing the rule change, must vote for or against the rule change.**

immutable: the rule change will pass by simple majority.

section c: firm rules

firm: firm rules may not be added, removed, changed, or transmuted into non-firm rules.***

firm: non-firm rules may not be transmuted into firm rules.

firm: a log of all rule changes shall be kept, maintained, and made publicly visible to players and non-players alike.

firm: likewise, a full list of the games current rules shall be kept, maintained, and made publicly visible to players and non-players alike.

firm: additionally, a log of all players' scores per round shall be kept, maintained, and made publicly visible to players and non-players alike.

firm: no player shall gain any amount of points that is not awarded to them by rule.

firm: discussion shall always be allowed before, during, and after a turn is officially taken.

section d: breaking rules

section e: turn order

turn order shall be determied prior to the beginning of the game, at which point it will be inserted as a firm rule in section c. once the game begins, this section (section e) shall remain for posterity.

*boring as in this interests you and you dont plan on making stupid rules just for the sake of making stupid rules.

**this is to incentivise early rule development, as there is no way to draw in this system with 7 players.

***though this seems contrary to the spirit of the game, most firm rules exist for archival purposes. the other two are to avoid the airbud loophole (where actions are taken simply because no rule exists against them) and the opposite sort of case (where an actions legality comes into unnecessary scrutiny because there is no rule explicitly allowing it). so its basically quality of life.

Make a character sheet first, then build a game around it.
