Lets make sure we are on the same page[s]: you run a nation of poor people, of religious debates, of verbal assaults from the UN and others. YOU want to be left alone and not worry about being assassinated, and you want people to welcome you and if possible, adore and love you! IF one of your main problems is religious beliefs, simply separate your nation into two [2] states, regardless what the political layout is now. ONE side would be for the states preferred religion and the other, for the other not-preferred religion. [Pakistan and India are fighting over Kashmir for 30 yrs. With a buffer mini nation in between, this could be solved.] Given proper safety measures, that should keep everyone pretty happy and safe. YOU would put guards there just as you have now with any other national boarders. Next, economics; my specialty: YOU cannot take more money from a person or family than they have YOU cannot keep people in poverty and make them happy YOU cannot use/demand graft when providing national servicesthe UN will come after you People want to provide for themselves and their families YOU have access to more money than your citizens do so why not set up a hybrid version of our US Small Business Administration and our IRS--all legal and legitimate--helpful on one hand, demanding and specific on the other! WELL fed, healthy people are inventiveit is characteristic of who we are as humans. Part of that characteristic is used just to stay alive when all around are stealing and trying to kill. Why not provide full service hospitals, free education to the 12th grade, clean water, sanitation, etc., so people need not worry 24/7 if they will capture a deadly disease or die of malnutrition. Lastly and not least; provide start-up funds for entrepreneurs. YOU read that correctly: become a focus point for entrepreneurs from your nation who have ideas on starting or buying an inefficient business to make it more efficient. IN the US, we have pawn shops and used car lots that charge 25% per year interest. YOU could do the same for all the businesses. This way, you legitimately get rich off the work of others. They get to work. They get to eat. They get to be safe, clean and educated. Do like our IRS, and collect 25% of their net profit every month. YOU make sure business consultants are in the field guiding these small merchants so that the merchants have a good chance of succeeding in order to pay you your 25% interest on the lent money. |
