If I could create my own country:
It would be militarily neutral.
Alcohol and tobacco are completely prohibited.
Cannabis is used freely.
Citizenship is determined by the status of an individuals criminal background. If your a naughty person, you can stay the hell out of my friggin' country. :cool:
There is no basis of religion. My country is built on truth and productiveness, but you will have your freedom of faith.
What is your ideal country?

free health care, free education (including higher education), all forms of discrimination would be illegal, tax rates would depend on income, no prohibition on anything (it just doesnt work). Oh and the laws wouldnt act as a moral big brother.

I forgot to add free private education. I don't believe public teaching is as productive as private teaching. Obviously children do need social interaction with others, but I'm sure after 4 hours of class in the morning leaves plenty of time for other clubs and activities. Am I right?

I'd have everyone, in my country, keep flowers and plants on their porches, or, in the windows. You could keep your plant on a table, in front of your door, and if anyone touches it, they will be sentenced to a night in the wilderness, alone.
And, pot is legal. I own everything. It is mandatory to bring me gifts, every Thursday.

I've noticed a common similarity in all of the above countries.. They're impossible, but I suppose that's what makes them ideal.
To the original poster, prohibition of alcohol and tobacco? I don't think that would work, prohibition of any substance proves failure. I believe all drugs should be legal, and people should consume at their own discretion, however, people should be educated on how harmful (certain) drugs are.
A lot of you also have free everything, but how would your government make its money?
I know that I'm thinking too deeply into this, must be the marijuana :jointsmile:

i would take PA through maine and everything in between, (except jersery) take all the hippies and lefters out of vermont and anywhere else they're hiding. a requirement to live in my country will be a profound love of hockey, hunting, and everything that is right and true (mainly the NRA, NWTF and so forth). our main export will be lumber. we will be a merry band of loggers and militia men. we will manufacture, none of that made in china bullshit.
no hippies, no weird art kids, no goths, no liberals...no nonsense. nothing but flannel wearing hicks, and women that love flannel wearing hicks. our flag will be two crossed shotguns over an oak leaf.
budweiser will love us.

if i could creat my own country it would be simple... you could whatever you wanted so long as it didn't harm someone else... a truly free country... of course, like every county i'd eventually pass laws against things that fit but are still morally wrong... (for example, the saying what they don't know won't hurt them.... scam artist could use that)
but my country would remain as free as possible.... if you wanted to kill yourself by doing something stupid.... be my guest.... i see it as another form of natural selection... you just have to do so in a way that it doesn't harm anyone else.
i too would have a three strike rule (since i would be so lienent on rules, any breakage of them would be a major disreguard of said rule, whereas in america, three strikes can even be something minimal...) but i wouldn't lock you up for long ammounts of time in my actual country... i'd have an island created (or charter a treaty with another country to imprison you) and you would be banished forever.....
since i'm going to be so liberal with rules and laws, i expect you to follow the ones i DO set out.... it's as close to eutopia as you'll ever get, and i'm not going to keep allowing you the pleasure of living in my country if you can't follow the most basic rule of all time.... don't harm/hurt or otherwise put in danger, a life that is not your own.
lastly, we would not have money.... everyone will work, as a community, which in fact would greatly reduce work load overall compared ot what we know. there would be a required minimum output expected of you (extremely far from strenous tho) and in return you would recieve nessicary supplies.... but at the same time, you could choose to work harder on your own to produce more then the minimum to make trades with others to get your wants (of course it would be taxed, but only enough to cover the materials you used to make the items for your own personal profits)... say i assign you to make 10 loafs of bread a day... once you make 10, you can choose to quit for the day, or continue working to make soem loafs for yourself to trade with someone in charge of say, producing milk....
you would also have the choice to sell (after tax) your products to the outside world for their currency to buy items we could not or do not produce within our community... but no matter how much you work to make money, you will still be expected to produce your minimum output daily, and there are no exceptions (well, aside from disabled, really young, or really older people) just because your wealthy doesn't mean you can fly above the rest of us.... everyone, including i, that is capable of working to better our community, will work.

in my country, everyone would go to work at an orgy factory each day, and everyone would have sex, all the time...
plus weed would be legal, of course

I would have a peaceful country, although one that should things become hostile, or should we be threatened, would be able to easily defend the nation and do some serious damage to the attacker.
Although there would have to be a large overruling government, most of the laws would be dictated by local authorities and representatives. Drug laws would be more lenient. Marijuana would be legal however charges related to driving under the influence and certain professions would still be strict about usage while or near the time of work (I dont want a stoned surgeon working on someone's brain).
I would make health care available to all and affordable if not free.

Mine would be a lot like Napolitana's.
Health care for everyone.
Education for everyone, and everyone'd be required to complete at least two years of college or trade school, so we'd have low crime and a healthy economy. Everyone would need to learn at least one other language in addition to English.
National service, whether in the military or in some other capacity, would be mandatory for all people under 30.
Militarily neutral.
No discrimination of any kind, although I'm not sure how this could be achieved. Race. Gender. Sexual proclivity or transgender status. Age. Marital status. Handicapped. Or veterans.
No guns among regular citizens. Police wouldn't carry lethal weapons, either.
Tobacco wouldn't be allowed.
Exercise would be taught from the time people were toddlers, practically, and would be a routine part of everyone's day. I hope this'd help offset an obesity/diabetes epidemic.
Implementation of a minimum-standards program for parenting.
Part of the health care system would include vaccinations for all children; addiction management so addicts could use clean needles, get clean drugs and be in safe places when they used; obesity assistance; psychiatric care; prenatal care; sex and birth control information and assistance; and elderly care.
Marriage certificates would have expiration/renewal dates, but couples with children would be required to seek counseling and marital assistance before choosing not to renew or divorcing.
Encouragement of adoption over abortion for unplanned pregnancies, but abortion access would ultimately still be safe and legal (just very rare)
Physician-assisted suicide for the terminally ill.
Cannabis would be legal for medical use and for over-18 recreational use.
One-strike laws for violent crimes against humans and crimes against children (a one-time pedophile wouldn't get another chance).
Stringent laws governing animal welfare and care.
Elections by popular vote (no electoral college).
Retirement savings would begin in infancy and continue throughout people's lives.
Taxation according to income and with thorough representation.
Abolition of the two-party political system. We'd have a multi-party or wholly party-independent system.
Stringent ethics rules would strongly limit campaign financing, lobbying, and special interest influence in our political system.
Similar ethics rules would be put place for big-business, particularly for protection of individual workers and their pension and savings plans so that they wouldn't be sacrificed at expense of stockholders or executives.
More ethics rules governing physicians and the medical industry, freeing them from the influence of Big Pharmaceutical interests and influence.
Physicians and patients would make decisions regarding medical care, not insurance companies.
Husbands would send their wives flowers every Friday. Wives would do something equally nice in return. (Just thought I'd throw this in for good measure!)

There is no basis of religion. My country is built on truth and productiveness, but you will have your freedom of faith.
What is your ideal country?
Your country is close to mine but religion will be illegal in my country and there will be no automobiles except a few Toyota Tacoma pick ups to carry broken down motorcycles.
I would prefer a small island for my country, this way the stores could be located around the warf and no deliveries would be nessesary on my island clogging up my streets with trucks.
All roads would be speed limit free and if you do not ride fast enough, you will be ejected from the island. Yes, ejected and violently too.
My island country name would be "The Isle of Ray" and if American is not the language coming out of your mouth, you are not getting in.
If you do not smoke weed, you are not getting in.
If you do not ride a motorcycle, you are not getting in.
If you have an attitude that is worse than mine, you are not getting in.
If you ride a Yamaha, you are not getting in.
Most of the U.S. Government laws and rights will be the laws and rights of my land except sexually violent, thievery, alcohol and stupidity related crimes will be federal offenses punishable by death.

i would take PA through maine and everything in between, (except jersery) take all the hippies and lefters out of vermont and anywhere else they're hiding. a requirement to live in my country will be a profound love of hockey, hunting, and everything that is right and true (mainly the NRA, NWTF and so forth). our main export will be lumber. we will be a merry band of loggers and militia men. we will manufacture, none of that made in china bullshit.
no hippies, no weird art kids, no goths, no liberals...no nonsense. nothing but flannel wearing hicks, and women that love flannel wearing hicks. our flag will be two crossed shotguns over an oak leaf.
budweiser will love us.

A island, somewhere with optimal crop climate.
Mainly just live off the land, and do whatever you want to do but crop maintainence for everyone is mandatory a few days a week each.
If it can be done naturally, it will be done that way.
No laws, just Morals. Majority rules on all lower cases of "bad morals" inless deemed unfit by the Island Keeper, all major offenders of the Morals code are just shipped off and out no acceptions.
The only rule, no other drugs but Cannabis is allowed to be consumed or grown. Other specially selected ones will be allowed to be consumed over special holiday dates given by the Head Drugs Dept if one over the age of 18 choses.
oh yea... and some electric if I don't got it already.

In the 1800's, this guy started cutting down pine trees and making them into lumber, then sawmills starting popping up along the Wisconsin River. And they have rolling hills.

For my country we would just separate Florida from the rest of the U.S except for a bridge that only we could use. Marijuana would be sold freely to anyone over 16, alcohol would have a minimum age of 23. Idk, I've thought about this several times but I can't remember most of it.

If I had my own country and the proper funding and great economy to do whatever I pleased in whatever way I wanted.
I would:
-Immediately hire council from every town at least 5 representatives per town so that I could accomodate my people to the best of my ability.
- My own country would be an ISLAND approx 500 mi^2 in a climate and zone appropriate for crop cultivation.
- Use moral and logical judgement
- All drugs would be legal, no matter what they are. In that legality, they would all be taxed and regulated, but if you wished to grow them yourself, go ahead.
- Drug Education Required for adults and children.
- People could have their own privacy to do what they pleased
- I would have a police force w/ lethal and non lethal forces to act with but under strict supervision of my personally chosen commanders. All serious offenders that are deemed hazardous to the community will be banned from the country and exported like Napoleon.
- Their would not be a court system or jails/prisons.
- Their would be laws to deal with murder, rape, etc. A police force that would work for the good of the community, and not for themselves and they would be rewarded for their duties.
- All drugs would be available to public to at age 18 if BOUGHT. Parents would have use their own judgement in letting their children use before that age.
- All cars/trucks would be diesel hybrids, no exceptions. Bicycles and other forms of transportation would be encouraged and rewarded for.
- National Healthcare
- National Education system and require completion of HS and 2 years of latter schooling.
- The Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
The list would go on forever if I had the time. Basically, it would be the perfect USA.

A country of community cohesion, regardless of faith or race. A country of non violence where cannabis is not criticized, instead utilized.
