The Constitutional Monarchy of Liberatos Kingdom
"Back to the old fashion familly values"
Civil Rights:
Few
Economy:
Good
Political Freedoms:
Below Average
Location: the West Pacific Regional Influence: Minnow
The Constitutional Monarchy of Liberatos Kingdom is a tiny, devout nation, remarkable for its burgeoning the savage free horse population. Its hard-nosed population of 5 million are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Law & Order, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 23%. A very small private sector is dominated by the Trout Farming industry.
Crime is a problem. Liberatos Kingdom's national animal is the the savage free horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the the esperando.
My goal is to have a Socialist Democracy as opposed to a NY Times Democracy. That's my ideal country. Democracy, yet everyone has an equal and fair chance to make something of themselves.

The Issue
In response to a slow news week, certain highbrow newspapers have stirred up the debate over voluntary vs compulsory voting.
The Debate
"Compulsory voting makes about as much as sense as having the death penalty for attempted suicide," says civil rights activist Hope Hanover. "You can't force people to be free! You can only give them the choice. Besides, if all those derelicts who can't be bothered to get off their ### once every few years voted, who would they elect? I shudder to think."
[Accept]
"It's not contradictory at all," argues political commentator Alexei Jones. "The fact is, if not everyone votes, the outcome isn't truly representative. Some groups--like elderly gun nuts--vote more often than others. That's why we always end up with such terrible politicians."
[Accept]
"This raises an interesting issue," says Miranda Thiesen, your brother. "And that is: why do we need elections, anyway? Seems to me it would be much simpler if you just decided what was right, and did it. Wouldn't that save everyone a lot of time?"
[Accept]
The Government Position: Option 2.
