The Nation of Aspergia

Post Reply New Topic

I actually think it's awesome, why not just give some ideas to make this more fun? For example, I think a good thing to add would be integrating Aspergia's own CURRENCY! And this would be.... One Aspie, two Aspies.... and just for the sake to have currency exchange, let's say one Aspie is equal to 10 US Dollars. lol Then the material of coins and bills and such it's up to the next posting

Oh and why not create a pasport lol

Wow that's an OLD thread.

Since we won't want to affiliate with political parties (not wanting to affiliate with anything at all), there will be none. Since there are so few of us, there's no need for representatives; we'll never get a large enough population for direct democracy to not be viable. Ambassadors to other countries would be an elected position, with elections held annually just in case they get any ideas.

Since churches are only good for socializing with believers and we won't have very many and don't want to socialize, there will be no public places of worship, but since we'll never be able to get Aspies to not be blunt, there will be freedom of religion even in the public sphere.

"Punishment" will be aimed at preventing further crimes and repairing damage. Parole, house arrest, fines (to be paid directly to the wronged party or the wronged party's family) and cleaning/rebuilding/replacing damaged property will all be tools available for such use. Given the beliefs of many autistics re: the inherent value of life, we're never going to come to an agreement about when capital punishment is justified. Since imprisonment doesn't and we have no central government to pay fines to, the whole legal system will look different.

I propose that the currency be:
Pennies (one Aspergia penny would be worth about one US dollar)
Hapennies (half a penny, or 50 US cents)
Bits (12.5 US cents, 1/4 of an Aspergia hapenny)
Aspies (one Aspie is worth 50 Aspergia pennies or $50)
Further denominations would be some number of Aspies. I propose 2 ($100) and 5 ($250).

I propose that the pennies, hapennies and bits should be made out of an amount of copper equivalent to the face value of the coin, while the Aspies should be silver or gold, whichever leads to a more practical size for the coin. If fluctuations in the value of the currency only occur because of fluctuations in the supply of these metals, it'll eliminate certain headaches.

The nation of aspergia is here to stay
