Authoritarianistan form of Government and elections

State government:

3-member commission, makes general laws. Appointed bureaucracy makes bylaws, including regulatory and administrative laws.
Part of the bureaucracy are Administrative Courts, which try people who run afoul of bylaws, regulatory laws, administrative laws, or traffic laws. Authoritarianistan Public Schools has its own Administrative Court. They all use the inquisitorial system. 

Supreme Court of 3 Justices. Judiciary is highly centralized, with Appellate Courts (which appeal criminal cases), General Courts (which try civil cases & criminal cases in which the punishment exceeds 182 days imprisonment &/or a $500 fine), & dozens of Minor Courts (which try criminal cases that exeed 182 days imprisonment &/or a $500 fine). Each judge is appointed by 2/3 or 3/3 of the State Commissioners and may serve until their mandatory retirement at 70 years.

State alternate history: Law enforcement & private security-patrols in New Israel

Armed Security Service/ASS:

The Armed Security Service is not really a single company, but rather, a conglomerate under joint ownership by Israeli, Saudi Arabia, & Chinese companies & a handful of businesspeople from aforementioned countries, in that exact order. 

It started a Pinkerton-esque private investigation & guard service based in the state of New Israel. But, it has since expanded from a law enforcement force that enforces nanny state rules just to keep the private prisons at 100%+ capacity into the armed wing of the police state & a gendarmerie heavily armed enough to crush insurgencies like a boot crushes an egg.

It’s basically the State’s de-facto state-level law enforcement agency, & corners the Private Security market within the state. The Armed Security Service is not really a single company, but rather, a conglomerate under joint ownership by Israeli, Saudi Arabian, & Chinese companies & a handful of businesspeople from aforementioned countries, in that exact order as a thinly-veiled way to funnel money to the companies & people that it owns. It personnel also uses much of its smaller equipment, such as small-arms & outfits, along with commissary items, from said countries.

It started a Pinkerton-esque private investigation & guard service based in the state of New Israel. But, it has since expanded from a law enforcement force that enforces nanny-state rules just to keep the private prisons at 100%+ capacity into the armed wing of the police state & a gendarme heavily armed enough to crush insurgencies like a boot crushes an egg.

The Fast Action Response Team is their equivalent of a SWAT team, with the following functions, in order from top priority to lowest priority:

. Functioning as the Praetoran Guard for the government & corporate ruling class (State Government officials, high ranking members of companies that get Government officials to do their bidding including lobbyists, etc).

. Keeping the rest of the Armed Security Service in-line.

. Serving warrants related to weapons, particularly confiscation.

. Arresting people who violate state tax laws.

. Hunting down truant K-12 students & their parents/guardians.

Enlisted Guards are NEVER allowed into the Fast Action Response Team; only Commissioned Officers & Warrant Officers are allowed in.

Because of the high prices for Officer’s Commissions, & the heavy nepotism involved in selling Officer’s Commissions which requires connections to high ranking members of the Armed Security Service, it’s common for an Enlisted Guard to stay as an Enlisted Guard & work harder than a workaholic for several years, doing things such as constantly volunteering for unpaid “overtime” every single day/night with no breaks & taking no days off or holidays off to prove their loyalty to the leadership of the Armed Security Service so they can enter training to become a Warrant Officer, which is an instant ticket from being barely above poverty or bottom working class to the upper middle class because the pay is high enough to thrive with a 99.99% income tax rate. Most Warrant Officers are members of the Fast Action Response Team, who undergo brutal, torturous training at least as hard as Russian Spetsnaz or North Korean Special Forces to pass.

Uniforms:

IDF combat fatigues (but dyed "grim reaper" black).

(Israel Defense Forces Uniform Shirt and Pants)

Their ranks are based on (but not identical to) the United States Marine Corps ranks system, with the addition of civilian leadership positions.

Officers:

Chief Executive Officer (hold no law enforcement power).

Shareholders (hold no law enforcement power).

Patches & badges, at a minimum, must read "Private Security Guard", & patches must contain the name of the private security company. Badges and patches may not contain a prominent star or a seal of the federal or any state or local government.

. The outermost top garment must read "SECURITY" on the back, with the letters being a minimum of 3 inches high. Button-down shirts are exempt from this.

. Masks are not authorized to wear, with the exemption of a PSG being deployed in a "sufficiently hazardous working environment", such as wearing a medical mask while inside of a hospital full of sick people or wearing a respirator while in a hazardous material processing facility.

I'm going on semi-hiatus

Due to stresses in my life, especially with homework, schoolwork, and general stresses in my real life I am declaring a state of semi-hiatus. Basically, expect a long time before I do any content releases, and do not expect consistent releases, either.
I'm just getting this off my chest.

By the way, if you have the time and energy to do so, please save my social media and blog content using archive.org and archive.is in case any of them get deleted.

I should push myself harder

I rarely talk a whole lot about myself and my personal life online, but there's a little bit that I would like to confess.

Since nearing the end of summer, and entering school, I have gotten overly lazy, with borderline mind-numbing, and definitely unproductive surfing the internet, watching videos, doing minor playlist updates on YouTube, looking at Zootopia fanart on DeviantArt, and doing almost nothing to update either this blog or on Quora, and do little to update my trivia blog. Never mind other social media sites that I almost never bother to update.

As much as I am worn out by school and homework, I know that I have to do better than just become lazy and unproductive, especially considering that my situation isn't that bad. I can't just say that I'll push myself tomorrow; I got to push myself more today.

The blog for incomplete, unfinished, & work in progress content is public!

SayNoTo Democide's unfinished/incomplete/work in progress

Posts and updates to expect, and expect more delays

Over the summer, I had yard work, vacation with my family, more yard work, driver's ed and finishing driver's ed, over-the-summer homework which I better get cracking on, and a AFJRORC leadership class which I'm just about getting anxious over, with the closing of the summer.

I prioritize my time. Looking at art and reading and writing Zootopia fan-fictions is not high on my priorities, hence why development is so slow.

I also officially announce the storyline will take a darker turn, with black and black morality when it comes to geopolitics, the NATNWO's fight against international central banks and world powers.

"The explanation for why I am doing this:

I, at first imagined the NATNWO as being more or less good, avoiding causing unnecessary or unjustifiable damage or committing human rights violations. But this changed after listening to a talk (the second one, specifically) between the historian & political analyst Ryan Dawson & historian & author Tom Goodrich, which described war crimes committed by the Allied Forces. After listening to the interviews between Dawson & Goodrich the documentary Hellstorm, I decided to make the story be from affably good vs evil to darker,  to evil vs evil, & have what the NATNWO forces did to Israel & Saudi Arabia to reflect what the Allied Forces did to Germany & Japan.

In this timeline, instead of the NATNWO using diplomacy to solve problems and using its armed forces to protect its borders (which they do in an alternate timeline), they're using the full might of their military to go after a few dozen to a few hundred individuals (the powers that be, mainly bankers, people involved in the Military-Industrial Complex, lobbyists & government officials) while killing hundreds of thousands to millions of people just to capture or eliminate the aforementioned few hundred, which involves an utter disregard for the most basic human rights (the bombardment and invasion of Israel, then Saudi Arabia), only continued when one individual (a Six-star General, which I'm proposing to be either Tyrannicus Tiger or Shere Khan) wanted to eliminate a perceived problem group (namely Jews & Wahabi & Salafist Muslims)."

Why I haven't invited the Alt-right or the Far-left for story writing; the factors of seriousness, common ground, & fringe elements in movements

This article is NOT necessary reading. This is just to satisfy anyone's curiosity as to why I am going to make invites for ground collaborative writing for liberals and conservatives but not to people in the circles mentioned in the title.

(I got the above image from http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1164559-alt-right.)

Both sides are going to be highly alienating and discrediting. Letting Neo-Nazis march alongside of a movement is about as discrediting as letting Communists march alongside the movement.

Another concern that I have is that, in the (unlikely) case that these people get into power, the human rights situation would be atrocious, to say the least.

The Issues that I want to cover are talked about in my blog post Uniting Americans: the common ground principle.

P.S.:

To give you an idea of how damaging the Alt-right and related circles here, even William Luther Pierce (yes, the same man who literally wrote novels that describe the total extermination of non-Caucasian people), a popular figure in the aforementioned circles, denounced stereotypical Neo-Nazis for poor mindset and public image.
