Welcome to the Stable State wikipages!
The Stable State is an evolving ruleset for people aiming at living together peacefully, respectfully and true. It is a very pure form of democracy. It is our hope that some day real communities and states will be organised according to this ruleset and, thus, become real Stable States. The entire world could be organised as 1 Stable State, so it is even a project to politically achieve what commercially, communication- and travel-wise is already a reality: we are one world, one planet.
The stable state is based on 3 ideals and laws:
which we think all people of all religions (or non-religions) and races can and must commit themselves to. Within these laws, we believe in the freedom of everybody to achieve a happy and prosperous life. Also, these laws never change, they cannot be changed.
A StableState's constitution
The constitution of a a Stable State named XY, hence, is very simple "The state of XY is the people in its confines. It persues truth, respect and peace among the people, the nature and visitors. XY is true, respectful and peaceful towards its direct neigbour states and all states of this world. It assures to never attack or occupy land outside its confines and is open to peacefully and democratically merge with other Stable States." Note that it must not refer to any higher power, religion, race, nation or language. It must allow all people of all religions, races, languages, etc. to live with equal rights (and obligations) in the state.
All the organisational and processual details to achieve these ideals are defined with so called rules.
You may see the Stable State as a continuation of ideas and actions done by Thomas Sankara, Steve_Biko etc.

2022-05-31: Continued military actions of Russia in Ukraine
Still, Russia does massive military actions on Ukraine territory. Also, it continues to officially tell untrue claims like Ukraine is nazi-ruled or there was genozide done in Donbass or that NATO is a threat for Russia.
We believe that the UN must have rules in place that automatically suspend all active participation rights of states in the security council, in the UN plenary and other committees if
- they do not commit to published confines according to rule C.03 Define the confines and or are currently violating them by military actions outside their territory
and/or
- they make untrue official statements
And the truth/non-truth is revealed with the truth challing process of S.02 Truth Challenging.

Rules
With all people fully understanding the 3 laws and adhering to them in their thoughts and deeds, no further rules would be necessary to achieve stable and prosperous communities (as prosperous as nature's forces allow). But the reality shows that, first, not all people equally understand and, second, adhere to these laws. Hence, some rules are in need according to which states, i.e. people living together, are organised.
Rules encompass (a) the meta-rules, (b) definitions (contained in our glossary), (c) parameters and (d) regulations, the latter grouped in the 7 domains of:
- Constitution
- Persons Administration
- Science, Culture and Sports (Education)
- Inner Security (Police)
- Justice
- Exterior Security (Army)
- Finances
In contrast to the 3 ideals and laws, the rules are subject to change and optimization towards achieving the ideals. Rules are defined, modified or removed by democratic processes that must involve all citizens. There are no elections in which the legislative power can be delegated. Also, each rule must fulfill the meta-rules.
State Design Principles
Before we can formulate the priciples we need some terminology: A state is
- the set of persons living geographically together,
- the definition of this geographic space (i.e. the so called 'confines'), and
- the mandatory state interactions (events and actions) to get organised towards the ideals and laws of truth, respect and peace.
The rationale behind this definition is that while each person has the right to travel and move, even be constantly on the move, still, at a given point in time, each is located at a defined geographical location (somewhere). This means that we are geographcally forced to live and deal with other people; the closest, i.e. in the same home, hopefully carefully self-chosen and most others, our neighbours, are more or less not self-chosen. Within these people, we distinguish between permanent residents that are grown-up, i.e. the citizens and the visitors. However, there are any more persons-categories in-between and around those main categories as per domain 2, the persons administration and the definitional competence of the community
Freedom and self-responsibility
We believe that state interactions should be minimised and the freedom and self-responsibility of each person should be maximised.
Assured equal rights and minimal standard of living
While freedom and self-responsibility of each person should be maximised, it is of utmost importance that equal rights and a community-defined minimal standard of living for all persons must be assured. The minimal standard of living must take the available natural ressources as well as human-made and maintained systems into account.
Visitors are not citizens
Visitors (short-time immigrants) are very welcome, must adhere to the laws and rules and have fair but reduced rights compared to the ones of the citizens.
Permanent immigrants have the right to become citizens
If visitors become permanent immigrants, they shall be given the opportunity and under some conditions be forced to become full citizens; the definition of 'permanent' again in the realms of the community.
The Agile State
Stable State basic decisions (elections and votes) are agile i.e. not delayable and taken at a given pace, the so-called state-cycles. Also, they are taken involving each community member equally. Hence, the Stable State is also known as Agile State and Agile Democracy. Also, the state's "event handling", i.e. the state's officials and/or automated devices acting according to the laws and rules is always non-delayable. There must be NO options to "play games" with delaying actions or decisions.
