An
absurd and
difficult solution to
overpopulation that my brother and I
created:
Basic Guiding Principle:
(This only applies to the
U.S. and
Australia, as far as I know)We have some very
densely populated cities, but if you took our whole population and spread it out evenly, then we would be quite
sparsely populated. So if we
maintain our
current population fairly then there will be no more
problem.
The Rules
1. Everyone dies and so when they die, if they have created no children, the population will return to its
original state.
2. Based on the same idea as above, every one person is allowed to have one child because that child will eventually die also, and that child is also allowed to have one child and so on...
3. As a couple, a couple may have two children. This
bond as a couple
may not be
broken. For every child a couple has the parents get one "6" inscribed into their skin and if someone has "666" on their
forehead they have broken the law.
4. To redeem themselves they must kill one other person with "666" on their head. This may be done in an
organized battle or in the middle of the
street. (Most choose to have organized
combat for fear of being assassinated in the street. When they do this, they have one(1) "6" removed from their head, and are now legally safe.
5. This process for killing someone must be repeated for every child over the limit, but any
murder of someone who is not over the limit
is considered a
murder.
6. As a single person you may have one child. If you bond with another person you receive their "6" if they have one.
7. Everyone must be
properly tagged and
identified, anyone who is not must be tagged and identified or killed if they refuse.
8. If you abandon a child you have, that child will be identified with you and your
life will be
ended for
doing so.
9. Every child with no parents will be given to a volunteer. If there are no volunteers they will be given to citizens by force. It is ideal to adopt then to have a child because you
will not receive a "6" for
adopting a child.
10. It is
especially dangerous to be over the child limit because when someone dies when they are at least two (if not more) over the limit, then there is a surplus which is rid by killing someone from a reserve of people over the limit.
11.When a couple has a child, both members of the couple gets one "6", and if one of the members kills someone then they both have one "6" removed. If they kill in
battle then they have the choice of which member fights, but if they kill in the street, then it is not of their choice.
12. When someone in a couple dies, two over the limit, then
their partner may not be killed because they must care for the children.
If you find
any faults in this (besides
moral ones) then
please /msg me. I also note that I do not believe in this
AT ALL. It was just a
silly idea.
