and still even within england theirs massive accent differences
I mean, ideally, I'd want a system wherein each county/region/town has a large degree of autonomy
preferably completely democratic
problem with that
is laws would differ wildly
In a confederation, ofc
I think a constitution should be in place
as well
and it would be easy for a large group of people with a specific idealogy to all move to a specific town
to secure basic rights, at least within decent regions
eh, maybe town is too small
what about legalization of items
County, or even province/state based
i think the us is good how it is
confederacy has too many problems
and is really easy to fall apart
eh
not in modern days
@SilverLining heres a question
is the un a confederacy or federation
confederacy I'd say
what about the eu?
confederacy
@SilverLining not really
universal currency
universal laws
universal trade
there's still such a massive degree of autonomy within each state that it'd be unreasonable to call it a federation
universal currency lmao
there's the pound, the krona/krone, the zloty, the forint
the currency is far from universal
GB got to keep the pound, even
also
the laws aren't really
entirely universal
and is there a federation between Canada, the US, and Mexico because NAFTA is a thing?
yeah saying the laws of different countries in the eu are universal by any measure is just completely ignorant
I mean you can form a state based o ethnic lines, for example Poland is majority, and I mean 80% + lechite tribe descendants, with Kaszubians and potentially sillesians thrown into the mix. Other than that we are one tribe one ethnicity and generaly when speaking of values and culture, they have to be tied to a forefather myth or legend, something to tie them down and make them real, otherwise they will change literally every generation. People need a sense that they are incarnation of a set of values and culture of their forefathers (which they are) than simply a set of esoteric values that have well, nowhere to be pinned down to.
I do agree in the autonomy part inso much that related, however not necessarily closely related, ethnicities should have some proper representation such that they simply dont feel isolated or dwarfed or suffocated adn as such want to participate in the commonwealth.
