If you have your own country to rule...

What would your constitution, morality and social values be? This is regarding all aspects of society, things that you'd like to see abolished or fixed with the country that you're currently living in.
 
Severe penalties for frivolous lawsuits
Drivers must not be dicks to bicycles
Death by firing squad for talking/texting on a phone while driving
No automatic weapons, but most others are fine
Speeding/red light cameras everywhere. Two of either in a year and you get death by firing squad unless there is a good reason (I will determine if the reason is good or not)
Animal negligence/cruelty will get you a ride in a real lion's den
Child abuse will be subject to death by dismemberment

Basically, my country would be what suburban America already is, but with much more severe penalties for annoying and avoidable stupidity. It's not hard to drive the speed limit or to refrain from abusing children and animals. Oh, and your first DUI will get you ass-raped by a guy of your choosing (makes it worse since you have to pick him out most likely) while a second DUI will be death by car safety testing.
 
Free healthcare for everyone!


Seriously though, I'd have a free country. And I mean a real free country.

It's a modest proposal, really.
 
I don't feel like taking an hour to spell everything out, so essentially:

-All citizens are equal
-There is no legally defined "race"
-Border violations will be met with deadly force
-Chaotic42-ican English is the official language and the only language which may be on official documents
-The government may *never* sieze land from its owner unless it was primarily ill-gotten (drug money, etc)
-Only citizens may vote
-No welfare
-Few laws, but those which do exist have *crushing* enforcement
-The following are punishable by death:
--Robbery
--Murder (not manslaughter)
--Border violation
--Forceful rape (must be proven)
--False legal accusations
--Government corruption
--Treason
--Assualt with a deadly weapon
-To become a citizen one must:
--Join the military for two years and then remain in the national guard until the age of 50. Health issues will be addressed individually
--Complete basic education
--Be employed or be willing but completely unable to have a job (difficult to enforce, I know)
--Pass a literacy test
--Complete 40 hours of community service per calendar year


You can see where I'm going. Creativity, logic, athletic ability, competition, and family values are rewarded. Sloth, corruption, racial/gender bias, etc are harshly punished.
