[TLDR] Four cooperatives that will cover the gaps left by the dissolution of our ministries, as well as a new cooperative that acts as a constitutional interpreter.

As we have been in a state of flux for pretty much all of January so far, I was hoping to get us started with some basic cooperatives that would take on the duties of our now-abolished ministries. I will submit multiple ones here which I will then number for people to vote on as separate items. The formation of co-ops doesn't require a prior discussion thread, so go ahead and cast your ballot for these at your local ballot box. Here are the cooperatives I propose:

1. The Land, Sea, and Data (LSD) Cooperative

The LSD Co-op will take on many of the tasks that were previously assigned to our Interior Ministry. These duties include:

• The continued surveyance of our land and ocean claims to ensure that no foreign powers or newfriends have made illegal settlements on our land, accidentally or otherwise.

• Refreshing existing snitches.

• Ensuring compliance with land and nature related laws (e.g., the Lorax Act).

• Assisting newfriends in gaining access to the right groups in their given context, and offboarding people who should no longer be in them.

• Track treasury funds and maintain records of their usage.

• Collecting, counting, and publishing in-game votes after voting for a bill has concluded.

• Allocating plots for citizens, residents, and businesses and derelicting properties that are no longer in use.

2. The Danzilonan Self Defence Forces (DSDF)

The DSDF will be the wing of our military that is actually the boots on the ground. They are in charge of manning the baracades, stocking the bunkers, and pearling lawbreakers. Their responsibilities will also include:

• Generating and equiping a stock of prot, weapons, and related accessories (potions, pearls, etc.) for use in defensive combat.

• Laying down new snitches on a public defence group (so like either DZSnitch or DZDefence, for example).

• Creating and maintaining panic shelters for residential use.

• Refueling pearls that are in our possession.

• Maintaining a logsnitch at each ballot box to ensure security and transparency.

• Staying aware of the global and regional security situation and given the rest of the Danzilonans relevant updates to keep them safe.

• In the event that Red's PDA proposal doesn't pass, the DSDF will also take on its proposed responsibilities around defensive infrastructure.

3. Collective of Legalist Nerds (CLN)

The CLN shall be the official body that we can fall back on in case there is any dispute related to the interpretation of the law/constitution, or if the law/constitution does not provide an adequant solution to a given legal problem. Their main responsibilities will be:

• Being a point of contact for any Danzilonan with a legal dispute.

• Maintaining an up-to-date understanding of Danzilonan law and the constitution.

• Resolving legal and constitutional disputes with an internal majority vote or consensus of CLN members.

• Data management that includes: maintaining an up-to-date list of laws and constitution, posting the census, inducting new residents into citizenship, and revoking citizenship from inactive players in line with the Citizenship clause in our constitution.

4. Danzilonan Postal Service (DPS)

The DPS will replace the office of Postmaster that was established in the previous constitution. Its duties include:

• Ensuring that each Danzilonan citizen has a mailbox outside each of their residences, free of charge.

• Ensuring the safety of the FDR's ballot box by maintaining and checking their snitch to ensure accountability in the voting process, ensuring that there is no overlap between their snitch and the DSDF's snitch.

• Offering a number of other services at a price decided at their discretion for the purpose of raising national funds, including but not limited to post office boxes and courier services.

5. All-Danzilona Council of Sports and Recreation (CSR).

The CSR will pick up the pieces left behind by the abolition of our Interior Ministry to ensure the continued existence of our cherish cultural institutions. As such, the CSR will be tasked with the following:

• Appointing a League Commissioner of the NDZHL.

• Appointing a Danzilonan Arts Director to head the DAD.

I can attest that /u/Azelair and /u/gantAR1 also sponsor the formation of these co-ops.

Please vote Aye or Nay on all these as separate items in-game. Thanks!
