    A government could be good. In theory:

    • one year terms for elected individuals in public offices
    • no second term
    • getting elected is a random draw (akin to jury duty) based on the individuals’ capabilities
    • authority limited in scope within city states

    I’m sure there’s other ideas regarding this.

      With 1 year and no second term they’re just gonna steal everything within their reach from day 1, so we need to balance it with:

      • all public servants live under full transparency, 24/7 body cams etc for years after, financial transparency for life
      • 2x to all prison sentences while serving
      • a well-oiled practice to jail everyone who ain’t a total saint

      Then, maybe.
