Commonwealth of Rolo Consensus Federation; An Introduction

I wish to introduce our nation to the other nations in The East Pacific. We are the Commonwealth of the Rolo Consensus Federation. While similar to American and Parliamentary democracies, we are a nation without political parties. Consensus and Compromise are our virtues.

We are a protectionist economy. We levy large tariffs on companies that wish to export products to our nation. We would prefer they come here to produce their products. We provide certain tax incentives to foreign companies that wish to set up shop here and provide our citizens with good paying jobs.

Military service and voting are compulsory.

We cherish freedom of speech and harshly punish those that would attempt to corrupt our system.

We provide compulsory Pre-school thru 12 education. A 4-year university education is also free (with certain limitations).

We are attempting to be on the cutting edge of electrical distribution by de-centralizing our power grid and allowing citizens to generate their own electricity using wind, solar and battery back-up systems, while remaining on our power grid as a back up. We are using tax breaks to homeowners and businesses that participate, as well as provide tax breaks to citizens that wish to start up a business providing such products and services. No wide spread power outages for us.

We provide single payer health care, lifting the burden from our businesses to provide such benefits and ensuring that no one in our country goes broke because they get sick.

Our citizens also are allowed generous firearm ownership as long as they do not violate any of our criminal statutes.

We believe all human beings are valuable, even when they commit serious errors in judgement. There is no death penalty. Prisons are not used just to warehouse offenders. They are used to rehabilitate. We provide just and thoughtful behavior correction in the hope that someday an offender can re-enter society and become a productive citizen again.

Finally voting is compulsory. Those that choose not to vote will face heavy fines and in the extreme, disenfranchisement. All citizens must participate in our government if it is to remain successful. The more that participate, the easier it will be to find solutions to our future challenges.
