This is for my book.

It's a government for an alien race. Please, tell me what you guys think.

It's a monarchy, but based on a democratic system as well. Let me explain. They have a king/queen, and the position is hereditary. However, if the new ruler sucks, and the prince/princess usualy does compared to the parent, a majority vote by the populoce can bring about an election, at which point said prince/princess is able to defend their title. The ruler generally goes over everything, making it a very high stress job. Most simply step down after around ten years, or so, though some do go for the lifetime thing.

What do you think? If I think of any additional points I'll add them. It's 1:35 in the morning, so I probably missed something. If you guys can add anything I forgot to make, or forgot simply to add here but already thought of, it'd be a help. Thanks.

what about the army?

What about it? They HAVE one. What do you mean?

I mean they could just use the army to assure theyer dominion whateever they do.

Ah. No, the armed forces are very patriotic. They are authorised to arrest, and if nesesarry eliminate, the ruler if they do not stand down. One must go through a rigorous screening process before joining, in order to prevent a repeat of their "Dictator" years, as they're known.

There is very little coruption among their military. It happens, but rarely.

What is this book going to be called and when will I be able to buy it?

Tyrong's Saga: something or other.

2087, with how I'm progressing. He, he, he.

It's named after yourself? Are you a character in it?

Sounds like the old Chinese legalist government, with the censory branch

Technically, I'm named after it. Tyrong isn't my real name, just a guy I like. Because i created him. And yes, he is a character. The main character.

And, uh, since I don't know what that is, a little more explanation, please.

Just bumping.

IDEAL GOV'T:

Roads are constructed by investors interested in roads. To use the roads, you have to pay the owner of the road. There are also roads that are voluntarily ran. To compete with the voluntarily operated/constructed roads which are free, businesses make their roads freaking awesome and cover it with textures that make cars have more traction. The voluntary roads are often connected to the other roads.

Industry is completely self-sufficient. The government doesn't have the authority to interfere, though they do have to comply with certain rules by the Peoples Check, which is a small militia dedicated to protecting consumers.

Health care is private.

The governments only purpose is to preserve national defense. Theyorganize independant militias, as well as make sure that they don't attack each other. The government also produces money but many people use industrial coupons. Machines exist to trade industrial coupons for governmental money, and most vendors use both due to the machines.

When rules are elected, only people whome the rule concerns are allowed to vote in the local elections. For example, when deciding whether gay marriage should be legal, gay people get to vote. A simplified version: Who votes on whether rape is legal or not? Rapists and the raped as well as their family.

tl:dr: I dunno lol

Roads are nonexistant on their planet. It's a jungle world with enormous trees. Think Kashyyyk, but denser.

Your government with industry point is about right, except there is no militia. That's what the police are for. The only thing the government has their hands in is weapons production, namely to order, or restrict the manufacture of certain weapons, namely WMDs.

Health care is universal. Everyone deserves the best health care available. Insurance is directed to homes and such, not one's body.

I don't quite understand what you mean with the coupons and government money, thing. They have a standardised for of currency, the "carin", an electronic credit, basicaly. Hard cash is still accepted as legal tender, but it's not made any longer. They long ago abandoned such currency in favour of the electronic, though most prices are still listed in both forms.

The people put their trust into their ruler and their advisors to make correct rules.

Oh, and it should be noted that there is no worse sin among the people than rape. The body is a temple. How one treats theirown temple is their own business. However, desecration of that temple witout permission....

Still looking for opinions, here. Just, whatever. Please.

Ignore what nillerz said. Just as a general rule never pay attention to ron paulites. What you have so far sounds good.

Cool. Anything you wanted to perhaps add? Something I forgot? Or something anyone wants clarified? Liekt hat military one. what about the military?

pffff, nor coruption? sounds boring I wouldn't beable to complain about stuff any more . Corruption makrs the world go round .

Just to ley u know, I'm joking (you'd be supprised how many people would be like "Liche is evil, he supports corruption!.

Well, like I said, there is corruption, just due to their personal values, in the military it's rare. Don't you worry. They have a mafia, mercs, gangs, murderers, etc., out the wazoo. The only crime that's rare is rape. Personal values, and the punishment. They're the only species left that has capital punushment through torture. It can last for days.... Mwa, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

And it's obvious you're joking, dude.

Sounds like a slightly modified libertarian government.

I have this saved in my favs and regularly check it. Just anything you want. I want your opinions or sugestions, please.
