gollark: To ensure our ancestors' traditions are respected, we will randomly dig them up and drag them to voting booths.
gollark: - If a foreign country's relations with our own are poor, it should be removed from all maps and not acknowledged by government policy.
gollark: - I think markets are a reasonably good resource allocation system, and to ensure liquidity would support requiring any property someone owns whatsoever to be put up for auction if someone requests it.

gollark: - I think that consumption, possession, distribution and production of all drugs should be legal everywhere for everyone at all times.- I support an improved tax system, where everyone in the country is directly billed `country's yearly operating expenses / population` each year, to increase fairness.
