: A queen, a president or both? That question is not as important as the question whether Ladonia should be governed like a democracy or dictatorship.
: I get the impression the ladonians consider their state to be a democratic institute with vast possibilities for the inhabitants to express their thoughts. But what confuses me is the way Your state was created. The place of the state is uniqe because of its nature and geological formations. So uniqe it is protected by the swedish authorities, who still claimes right to the area. According to international conventions, signed by a huge number of democratic stater Your state does not fulfill the criterias for an independent state. Your behaviour is ignorant and instead to be compared with an occupation. This concerns me. Are Your leaders prepared to continue to break essential democratic rules while governing the state?
: In my opinion The buildings should be removed from the beautiful landscape and the state only remain on a spiritual basis.
: I'm open for discussions :-/
Hey, check out that beautiful nature surrounding you right at this moment! You know, this very computer screen is a part of nature! So the buildings of Ladonia are parts of nature! The question is: Where is nature beautiful? In your opinion or somebody elses' opinion? The swedes have been scatterring awful constructions and buildings in the beautiful nature of Sweden for a while. But most of those monsterous constructions were not put there in a democratic way but for profitable purposes, for financial reasons and to keep people busy. At least in Ladonia we don't have the compound interest system that rules all "democratic" countries and is the worst obstacle to real democracy.
