How each model solves the same problems
Instead of “democracy versus anarchism”, compare the concrete ways collective problems get solved.
| Question | + Model | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| How are decisions made? | Token-weighted executable and social proposals, with delegation; working groups run by three elected stewards; constitutional amendments need two-thirds and 1% participation. | A 28-member General Council (half elected by parish, half by national list) elects the head of government; the co-princes sanction laws with countersignature. | |
| How are conflicts resolved? | Constitutional limits on majorities; dissolution votes freeze working-group funds; a 4-of-8 Security Council can cancel malicious proposals. | A four-member Constitutional Tribunal appointed by the co-princes and the General Council; ordinary courts. | |
| How are public goods funded? | Registration fees fund ENS development first and other public goods second, including a Public Goods working group. | Health, education and infrastructure funded by indirect, corporate and personal taxes; parishes run local services. | |
| How is AI used? | None in governance. | No specific role for AI. | |
| What are the main risks? | Governance capture through low turnout, reliance on a few delegates and stewards, and temporary trust in the Security Council. | Clash between the episcopal co-prince and legislation such as abortion; exclusion of non-citizens; dependence on France, Spain and the EU. |
This illustrates differences in design; it is not a universal claim about outcomes. Each cell links to mechanisms and the claims behind them.
