‘Put quite simply - there are too many laws!’
Founder Minute Excerpts.
Yes, there is crime in the Heart Lands. There are many freemen, all with unique wants, needs and desires - so there is always going to be some level of crime.
The Heart Lands used to be rife with crime though. Ranging from the trivial, through to the heinous, with plenty of ridiculous in between.
This was of course before The Reckoning. Following, citizen attitudes to Law and Order changed.
First, it was determined that there were too many laws. Laws, regulations, rulings, decrees. Most of which added little benefit to the lives of ordinary citizens and all of which added to the cost of simply living.
Second, it was concluded that excessive regulation had been stifling economic opportunity, resulting in increased criminal activity - particularly among the youth.
Third, prohibitions had created thriving new criminal industries.
The people eventually realised that laws had been created, not to serve and protect the citizens, but to serve and protect the financial interests of politicians and corporations. The people rose up and demanded change.
We are now the freemen of the Heart Lands. Free in body, free in soul and free of legal overreach.
We do:
take personal responsibility for our actions;
protect our families, our communities, the children and the elderly.
protect our property and that of our neighbors;
educate ourselves so we are not victims of crime;
act charitably towards those in need; and,
respect all life.
We don’t:
blame others for our misfortunes;
assume others will aid and protect us; and,
put the desire for material goods ahead of our relationships with other people.
Most of all though - we, the freemen of the Heart Lands, will never expect the government to save us.
We have learned from the mistakes of our ancestors. The only good government is a small government and the only good law is one that makes the government even smaller.
Of course we have police. Small and private police networks working within regions to protect and serve the freemen within. Working directly with the people on a day to day basis.
Yes, there is some coordination between police in neighboring regions. For the most part however, law and order is upheld on a plot to plot or region to region basis.
Yes there are prisons and criminals are punished for their crimes.
The laws of the land are simple, unambiguous and known by all.
There is a genuine respect for law and law enforcement. The freemen regularly volunteer their time and efforts to assist law enforcement officers.
Finally, when it comes to the law concerning contracts between individuals - easy! Agreements are simply recorded as smart contracts on the Telos blockchain and little to no policing or adjudication is ever needed.
