Constitution

Summary
The tasks and rules of state constitution begin with defining the official languages, naming the state, defining the confines in accordance with neighbouring states, structuring and organising the inside of the state into basic communities, higher order administrative units and ensuring the state staff works and the community meetings necessary to decide are orderly conducted.

SC.01 Define the official languages
SC.01.1 English (fonetic inglish) must be an official state language.

SC.01.2 The additional official state languages, at least one additional to English, must be defined by the standard democratic procedure, if not obvious.

SC.02 Define name and flag
SC.02.1 The name of the country must be defined in all official state languages by the standard democratic procedure, if not obvious. All neighbour states must agree with the name.

SC.02.2 The flag of the country must be defined by the standard democratic procedure, if not obvious. All neighbour states must agree with the flag.

SC.03 Define the confines
SC.03.1 A land-land (including river) border must be marked with a "border stone" in cultivated areas and besides transportation areas (streets, bike/foot paths, rails, …). In non-cultivated areas (deserts, glaciers, …) this is optional. Each border stone is 1 meter high above soil, 1 meter wide and 20cm deep. tt has name and flag of the state encarved on the side of the state. The next border stone in each direction should be visible in clear weather conditions. The "stones" can also be concrete. Practically, the stones are not on the border but at least 20cm inwards. Also, the stones must carry the geo coordinates on the top surface.

SC.03.2 There must be no building on a border.

SC.03.3 A water (lake, sea) border needs no marking if the neighbour state is more than 10km away, The default on-water-border is the middle-line between the shores if not the international waters rules apply (open sea borders).

SC.03.4 Vertically, the state's room extends down to the middle of the planet and up to the end of the atmosphere (30km).

SC.03.5 In the case of unresolvable, not discussable disputes on confines of our state with a neighbour state ("claim some ancient state's or nation's land" or whatever) our state must post the border stones where it thinks the border should be. In the course of this border stones setting are afterwards, there may be military action to attack/defend the border. If the border in whole or part is maintained for 5 years, the border is automatically internationally (including the other state) agreed, including all geo coordinates, of the border (whole or part) that is there for 5 years or more. During these and other wartimes with another state, the free trade and persons exchange with this state may be restricted. The nature and extent of the restrictions of our state are democratically defined unless acute hostile actions are ongoing, in which case trade and exchange are immediately/automatically fully blocked.

SC.03.6 Except for confines usage contracts (i.e. contracts to fly (possibly at limited hours and in geographically limited corridors) in the state's atmosphere, use waterways and or under-surface areas (for tunnels e.g.), there must be no contracts with other states. All these usage  contracts must be open to the public be democratically accepted in the impacted regions.

SC.03.7 In cases of singular violations of the confines and/or confines usage contracts by the other state (or unidentifiable) within our state's confines, then our military/police forces must catch the violator(s), only within our state's confines. The other state's representative(s) ("president(s)") must be notified, including the violator(s) identities (as good as identfiable) and evidence of the violation act. The violator(s), for just this (there may be other delicts that are committed and governed by other stablestate's rules), get a 1 month respect-violation delict punishment.

SC.03.8 In case of non-singular violations, an invasion is assumed. Then, the military forces must immediately defend under wartime rules. Such invasions must be anticipated by the military forces with their anticipation techniques as good as possible, so invasions can be prevented and/or at least successfully be repelled within shortest time possible.

SC.04 Define calendar, weeks and time(zone)
SC.04.1 A stable state uses UTC, universal time. I.e. there are no timezones.

SC.04.2 Each month begins with a Monday, has 4 weeks and 0, 1, 2 or 3 "free" days to be used for holidays outside of any week (no weekday, but holiday).

SC.04.3 Each week has first 5 work days (Mo-Fr), 1 Saturday (which is not a work day for most jobs, but shops, transport, tourism, health care and emergency services are at work), 1 Sunday (only transport at reduced service, tourism, health care and emergency services are at work, no shops)

SC.04.4 The "free" days / holidays operate in "Sunday" mode

SC.04.5 There must be no (religious or whatever) holidays in the 4 weeks of each month.

SC.04.6 Each city/region defines its lunch-time UTC (e.g. 12:00 for London) in 15min. precision. Standard morning work start is lunch-time - 4 hours. Standard afternoon work start is lunch-time + 1 hour and COB is lunch-time + 5.5 hours. Special rule on date change during daylight: If the lunch-time is 02:00, then the work week begins Sun, 22:00. If the lunch time is 01:45, then the work week begins Mon, 21:45. And Saturday/Sunday/Holiday modes accordingly.

SC.04.7 Work under contract: The maximum work hours per day are 16. The maximum work hours per week (any 6 days in a row, also holidays) are 80 hours. The maximum monthly hours are 240. The maximum annual work hours are 2'400.

SC.04.8 Personal holidays and sickdays under contract: 4 weeks minimum. If an employee is sick, this "counts as holiday". (It is important to know that medical treatments and medications are free up to a "lower limit" of p_free_medic_cost_percent_per_year, long-time unfitness-for-work has other regulations in the section of persons administration that mitigate hardness for the individuals. Also, each employer may offer better conditions to its employees.)

SC.05 Define free trade ranges (or price-battle-perimeters)
SC.05.1 Goods and services are free to trade with other countries except for democratically decided "Price battle ranges" per goods/service category.

SC.05.2 A Price battle range of X kilometres for a goods/service category means that any good/service of the specified category that comes from farther than the range (goods/persons transportation km) must be sold at least 10% more expensive than the locally produced good/service. This means that each product/service can be challenged quality-wise world-wide but not price-wise. The price battle for a producer/provider of such goods/services is hence limited to competitors within a range of X kilometres.

SC.06 Define the inner territory (room)
SC.06.1 A stablestate is is organised in basic communities and higher order communities. A basic community has 40 to 280 grownup citizens and is geographically coherent with the thinnest part being 50 meters. It is governed by 7 state representatives, each responsible for 1 of the 7 domains. A higher order community is composed of 4 to 11 basic communities or higher order communities that geographically must be adjacent and must not completely enclose communities that do not belong to it. The top-most higher order community is the state and it may be composed of less than 4 communities. A higher order community with 30'000 or more grownup citizens and/or geographically well separated (by the sea, lakes, rivers, mountains) may call itself a region. Also, each basic community must contain at least 14 marriages (c.f. Persons administration).

SC.06.2 Each region or larger higher order community can democratically leave a stablestate. It needs the qualified majority >66% of the grownup citizens of the region to leave a state. Either it becomes an independent stablestate or integrates into another one according to SC.07.3.

SC.06.3 The entire stablestate and/or a region can make a fusion with another stablestate. In the case of a region this is a leave decision according to SC.07.2 combined with entering another stablestate which has to agree with also >66%. For 2 stablestates to fusion, all the state-wide parameters (e.g. taxation coefficients, etc. cf. the complete list in Parameters list) need first to be democratically made equal within each of the states. Then, both states need a qualified majority >66% to make the fusion happen.

SC.06.4 A basic community can decide to split-up when all parts will fulfill the requirements for basic communities. If such a part has >66% vote (counted only in the to-be-part which must be specified before) for the split, the split happens irrespective of the opinion of the rest.

SC.06.5 Two or more basic communities can decide to merge based on all community-level parameters being equal before and each's >66% agreement.

SC.06.6 The split and merge of basic communities are forced by the higher order community if the requirements for basic communities are violated for more than 6 months. This means that basic communites that have become too small or too large with respect to the number of grown citizens within, have 6 months time to decide on their own on what to do. After the 6 months a too large basic community is split by an algorithm that divides so that as close to 50% grownup citizens and 50% surface will result without splitting properties. And a too small basic community is merged with its smallest neighbour basic community.

SC.06.7 A community (basic or higher order) can decide to switch the higher order community it belongs to with >66% vote.

SC.06.8 Analogous to the rules SC.07.4-6 of split/merge decisions and forced split/merges of basic communities the higher order communites can decide to or may be forced to split or merge.

SC.07 Organise the community assemblies
SC.07.1 Die Basisgemeinden tagen genau 1x pro Monat am 4. Samstag             und erledigen dabei alle Geschäfte, welche den Bürger betreffen (Basistagung). Die höheren Gemeinwesen tagen 2x im Monat an den anderen Werktagen             in jeweils 14 Tagen Abstand.

SC.07.2 Es wird immer offen abgestimmt und             es gilt die einfache Mehrheit. Anträge bzw. Initiativen benötigen             immer 1/6 der Bürger.

SC.08 Organise the elections of the State Representatives (aka State Officials) for 4 years
SC.08.1 The elections of the 7 representatives (1 head of constitution (the president), 2 head of persons management (the secretary), 3 head of culture, sports and science (the wizard), 4 head of inner security (the sherrif), 5 head of justice (the judge), 6 head of exterior security (the general), 7 head of finances (the cashier)) of a community are conducted like this:

SC.08.2 The candidates are marriages (the state representatives are, normally, couples of 1 male/1 female, hence, no discussions about male/female quota). There are voluntary candidates and always the 7 eldest marriages (by date of marriage) as the default backup candidates.

SC.08.2 For basic communities: each citizen votes for 7 different marriages in ranks 1, 2, 3 .. 7 (invalid votes are filled-up with the eldest marriages). Actually, there must be 100% of the citizens present at an election assembly. An election assembly is the first community constituting assembly and every 4 years henceforth.

SC.08.3 Each marriage voted for gets and hence each marriage gets its total of points. Then, the first 7 get elected as the heads in the order, e.g. rank 1 becomes president, rank 2 becomes secretary, etc. Also, positions 8 etc. are proxy ranks that must jump into head ranks as elected marriages get out of service (by election-up, permanent health problems or disappearance). There is no possibility for a marriage to resign during the 4 years period.

SC.08.4 For higher-rder communities: each state representative of each sub-community votes analogous to the procedure in the basic community. Only among those the candidate marriages can be made. All elected-up representatives may be replaced by the next proxies in the sub-community on the elected-up's decision.

SC.08.5 Representative's salaries (no fringes, no expenses, no extras): basic community := 2 x BME (basic monthly expenses), others := BME * (2 + 1.5n)  // n = der Level über der basic community, z.B. 0 für den ersten Level der higher order communities

Events
Create a StableState (Name. Flag, additonal language(s), Confines (Geodata), Communities (Structure))"A StableState is best created out of an existing state that has its confines and inner structure (communities, regions, …) already defined. Maybe, these structures and confines need some pre-work to be conform to the StableState's rules. If, once, these are well-defined, it should comparatively easy to find a name, flag and additional languages(s). All these are fully democratically decided."Change name
