(Not that I expect the government of Mobilita Republica to be any more responsive to those concerns than the physical nation I live in.)
Er... where was I?
Maybe I want to apply for dual citizenship. What was your country called, again? |
We never had the need for a name before, not sure if we even need one now. Mostly we just get together at the Friends Meeting House or the Uni-Uni Community Hall and talk things out. Government service is a responsibility taken on in addition to what you normally do, not something that provides all of your substance. Where over 90% of the population does not pay taxes and expects the less than 10% remaining to pay for all of the government without having a say in the organization or functioning of the government, civil unrest or collapse will follow.
Neko, you are more than welcome. Your simple affirmation is all that is required since it would be taken with an open heart. From you I have no doubt that that is true.
There are no formal titles or job descriptions, people do what needs to be done and then go back to their normal lives. No one here makes a profession out of governing.
