OOC: I'll take care of Seleya after work today. Of course, it will.

[Corvo Attano]

Malivia is a 32.5 or close it because some of our laws are the blank non numbered laws.

[Axxell]

OOC: I hope that the scores are reasonable for all. If you have any suggest proposed it. And in effect I didn't check the maximum or minimum total score which can we have.

OOC: guys, obviously, using that scores system cannot be sufficent to determine the position of a nation. for example, a nation which as only negative score has the slavery, it would have only of 2 points less than a full democracy. Indipendently by the score, there are some things to consider much more serious. A nation which enforce the slavery simply is not a democracy, it is one of the most serious violations of human rights! And there are also other laws with options which undermine more than other the democraticity of a nation. And I think we should take also in account the RP. The scores system is a good base from which start such analysis, but then it is necessary a little analyzing of the RP and also of possible RP laws enforced.

[Carter Aaron Scott]

How about this?

The Five Points

We use Axxel's idea of giving a point value to the options. I.e. if say nation A has very strict laws against speaking against the state, you subtract a decimal value, or if they allow all positions, then you add a point value. In the end, the final value for a point should equal too or less than 1, without being below zero.

Point 1: Political Freedom.
This point covers censorship laws, protest laws, police powers, protection of speech, and number of parties within the nation(maybe a bit useless the last one.)

Point 2: Personal Freedom.
This point covers all the civil liberties, except racial ones.

Point 3: Discrimination.
This covers all racial policies, religious policies, or other Discriminatory things.

Point 4: Justice
This covers the Justice system, and whether or not they have the death penalty, rehabilitation, kangaroo trials, etc.

Point 5: Slavery
This point covers slavery, and wether or not it's legal, along with the slave trade.

Overall Score:
Add the total points together, and you have your score.
1- Very Undemocratic
2- Undemocratic
3- ?
4- Democratic
5- Very Democratic

OOC: I have another alternative. Do we really need points? GI can issue reports on the situation of human rights in different countries without awarding any points. We can establish simple categories for classification: let's say that if a country has no laws discriminating anyone, has equal rights for men and women, allows for homosexuals to marry, militarily is open for them to serve in... etc. etc. then we can classify it as a 'very good' or 'excellent' considering the human rights' situation, if a country has at least one discriminatory law (slavery, death penalty, segregation, punishment for blasphemy etc.) we can classify it as an 'impaired' or 'unjust' etc. considering the situation of human rights. The goal of the GI would be to scrupulously monitor the situation and analyze the RP. The Reports would then be more diverse and wouldn't have to cover every nation, just those with discriminatory laws or those who wish to be classified by the GI. That's one of my solutions.

It's a fair point Axell that points awarding system won't work. Maybe a digressive proportionality system would work in which we would award fewer points for positive aspects and subtract more for negative aspects. But I think that would be too complicated and extremely time-consuming just to establish a working mechanism.

I know that system proposed by me is time-consuming too but that would demand a little bit contribution from us, making those reports more interesting and diverse.

Please express your opinions. I would really like it to work and would really like to cooperate with you all on this one.

[Axxell]

OOC: yes, I fully agree. In the last day i realized the limit of the score system. However, at least the list I made I think has given a good idea of the parameters to consider alongside the RP.
