How about: what would be 'simplest thing that could possibly work' if one were implementing a new government for an existing nation-state?

How about: what would be 'simplest thing that could possibly work' if one were implementing a new government for an existing nation-state?
- stcredzero 16y agoFor what time period? Dictatorships often work well, if the requirements are reduced to a time span of just a few years and personal freedom is not a part of the spec.
- rch 16y agoSure, I'd call that a valid point. Replacing one dictatorship with another has significant historical president, and might be very simple if everyone agrees on who should be in charge. One might argue, though, that if the new regime needs to actively suppress an oppositional group, by any means, then the solution might no longer qualify as simple.
- VladRussian 16y agoyour question already artificially narrows down the space of possibilities to "a nation-state must have a new government" and "the simplest is better". Why not try to think outside of centralized hierarchical paradigm? What about distributed approach? For example of peer-to-peer kind?
