Being new here, I have yet to get an idea of what Cascadia will look like according to each and everyone of you. I am NOT looking for a debate for which is better. I just want to know what you want. What I’m asking you is to list some things that will evaluate (1) How Cascadia will be divided (2) Cascadia’s legislative order (3) Cascadia’s executive order (3) Cascadia’s judicial order (4) How will decisions be made (5) Basic civil order of government (Is it true democracy, representative democracy, republic, absolute monarchy, constitutional monarchy, etc?) (6) Basic regional order of government (Is it anarchy, alliance, confederation, national federation, non-federative nation, etc?) To give you an idea of what I am asking, here’s at least one scenario I have heard of often (This is what I derived from the CascadiaNow site + one of my own views): 1. Cascadia is divided into a multitude of regions. It is a true-democratic confederation of regions. 2. Each region has at least one urban center (generically one or two) and those who live in that region will contribute to the region and improve it. 3. To improve Cascadia economy, the Cascadian population will be financially “encouraged” to buy Cascadian products only; the more local the better. 4. A national constitution that tells all Cascadians their rights and restrictions will be set. Regional governments can make any laws as long as it is (1) with the consent of most people, (2) it is constitutional. 5. Cascadia will be more of a traditional democracy rather than a representative democracy, in which representatives are qualified people democratically chosen by the people NOT to decide, BUT help develop the decisions for the people to decide upon. 6. These “representatives” have equal voting power as every other Cascadian citizen; all they really do is just create a few political decisions and see if Cascadians want to go with those decisions. They also have to clarify such decisions to the populace. 7. Citizens can choose to fire them out of office as long as the vote reaches a specific majority. 8. Neutral official positions (such as a judge) in regional court cases are, like “representatives”, are simply there to clarify what’s going on to a jury panel, and are selected by citizens. 9. The jury is merit/credit-based: You need to gain enough public credit (vouched by citizens who are not part of your family [specifically the generation above you, your generation, and the generations below) to sit on a jury panel. For example, you need more public credit to sit on a jury for a federal court case than to sit on a jury for a court case in a small town. 10. The amount of public credit needed is weighed by the population of Cascadian citizens in the designated area. 11. The military is national and strictly voluntary. Anyone can become a military private of the first rank if they like. Rank promotions are not given by choice (unless you are a designated substitute), but by meeting all requirements under a standard that has been officially set as the promotion standard for the Cascadian military. The same goes for demotions and discharges. 12. Military decisions involving war, support, etc, are evaluated by citizen vote. 13. When changing the confederal constitution, every single Cascadian must vote on a decision. In order for a change in constitution to pass, 90% of Cascadian citizens must vote for it.
