without good reason may be shot and killed in self defense.
- Self defense, armed or otherwise, shall not be punished, but only if care is taken to warn off

- Aiming a weapon at another citizen without great cause shall be punished with 2 lashes inpublic and 2-4 months hard labor.
- Members of the government, especially judges and council members, should receive double the
normal punishments and be stripped of their position if found guilty.
- Councilmen or judges that act as if they are above these rules or do not apply them to society
should be warned by the public. If they do not heed the warning, exile or assasinate them if
necessary – there are only 6 of them and no other government branches precisely to facilitate
this.

accused would have gotten if found guilty.
- Entrapment is a valid and great policing tactic.
- Crimes must be proven in a court judged by the council or judges directly appointed by the
CURRENT council.
- Witness testimony alone can never be enough evidence for a conviction. Doubly so for female
testimony.
- Criminal cases shall be free. In contract and patent disputes fees may be charged to the winning
party to pay for case handling and contract or patent enforcement. Using private arbitration
services instead is recommended.
- Only men can be judges.
- The council may create further laws, but this document supersedes any law they make. Any
such laws must also be specifically reintroduced by each successive council.
- No courts or institutions with any sort of authority concerning anything to do with contracts,
divorce, marriage, surrogacy/contracted mothers, crime, custody, visitation, property or law
enforcement in general may be established outside the council or judges appointed by the
CURRENT council. Any such institutions should be burned to the ground immediately.
- Abortions are allowed for any reason, but must take place before the first heartbeat of the fetus.
Abortions at later times may only be allowed in extreme medical scenarios.
- Neither the council nor the people can change this document.
- If a reasonable population segment wishes to change or replace this document it should be done
by letting them purchase an area in which they can enact their new system – creating a new
nation.
- If a crime cannot be proven, but doubt remains the suspect may be placed under invasive police
surveillance or escort for up to 2 years.
- Companies will compete to provide policing and military protection and the council shall
reward the best performing company the most of the budget and geographic area to
defend/police.
- There should always be multiple military and police service providing private companies.
- Prostitution is legal. Both parties should test for and disclose diseases.
- Using surrogates and contracted mothers is legal. Money for surrogate/contracted mother
should be held by a third party until a paternity test can be done.

[Continued]
59 Businesses facilitating prostitution, surrogacy and contracted mothers are legal. 60 Paternity tests are required for all children. 61 Parents must pay citizenship for their children or leave the nation. 62 If the government is called upon to decide visitation it should always be 7 days at each parent unless a parent is proven in court to be a threat to the child's life or raping the child. 63 If the state is called upon to decide custody, the father always has custody unless he is convictedof hard crime. 64 There will be no alimony, child support or similar concepts. 65 In a divorce both parties keep their own belongings unless they explicitly signed other contracts. 66 As long as a woman chooses to stay married she cannot be raped by her husband. 67 Both men and women may divorce for any reason. 68 Any who wishes to join your nation should be allowed to do so provided they pay the tax OR work for it (such as unpaid government/militia work). 69 Nations, tribes, movements and other areas should be allowed to join your nation provided they accept the rules here. 70 Citizens who stop paying tax for any reason must be expelled from the nation. No Exceptions. 71 Women and children who cannot pay tax for any reason must be expelled from the nation. No exceptions. 72 Cute little girls who cannot pay tax for any reason must be expelled from the nation. No exceptions. 73 Old innocent people who cannot pay tax for any reason must be expelled from the nation. No exceptions. 74 People arguing for non-citizens staying or preventing their exile should be exiled. Non-citizens being persons not paying the tax nor paying it by working for free. 75 Exiled persons should be allowed to bring whatever belongings they can with them and sell their properties in the Emergency Nation in absentia within 6 months. If the 6 month time frame is exceeded the properties must be sold to the highest bidding citizen in an open auction and the earnings used as tax money. 76 Being forced to leave or exile is not permanent. Citizenship can always be reacquired by satisfying the requirements stated in these rules, but only then. Renouncements of ill intent and zombie faiths must be sincere or this rule will not apply.
