Keep in mind that I've posted this in the lounge.. This is meant to be a more lighthearted discussion than those in other sections of the forum.
My Country:
I want to live in a Capitalist society, where relationships are based on volitional consent and mutually beneficial exchange, where the role of government is strictly limited to protecting individual rights, and where the weather is nice.
There would be just one law in this country: It is illegal to violate the rights of others.
This country would not use fiat money, rather, the national currency would be tied to the gold standard.
Taxes would be minimal and fair, the budget would be perpetually balanced by keeping spending less than minimum revenue, and 100% of all surplus revenue would be invested as principle into a soveriegn wealth fund.
As that wealth fund accrues interest, each taxpayer would vote on how they would like their share of the money to be earmarked. They could add it back into the principle to accelerate national earnings, they could put it towards public works projects, they could simply choose to take their share of the money as an interest payment (tax free), or any combination of those, but there would be a near infinite number of options available.

What would your country look like?
