====== Parliament (Government system) =====

===== Introduction =====

[[:socialnet/overview|OASIS]] contains its own Parliament, a self-regulated and participatory system that governs the internal political organization of the network.

{{ :socialnet:oasis-parliament.png?nolink&600 |}}

The main idea behind this implementation is **to experiment with decentralized governance and collective decision-making**, allowing OASIS inhabitants to organize, propose, and vote on laws through different democratic or autocratic methods.

The Parliament represents __the social pulse of the network__ — an evolving simulation of power distribution, influence, and collaboration between individuals and tribes.

===== How Parliament works (rules) =====

- **Cycles**: Elections are resolved every 2 months; candidatures are continuous and reset when a new government is chosen.

- **Candidatures**: Any inhabitant may propose themself, another inhabitant, or any tribe. Each inhabitant can propose up to 3 candidatures per cycle; duplicates in the same cycle are rejected.

- **Election**: The winner is the candidature with the most votes at resolution time.

- **Ties**: Tie-break order — highest inhabitant karma; if tied, oldest profile; if still tied, earliest proposal; then lexicographic by ID.

- **Fallback**: If no one votes, the latest proposed candidature wins. If there are no candidatures, a random tribe is selected.

- **Government view**: The Government tab shows the current government and its statistics.

- **Forms of government include**:

     * Anarchy (simple majority)
     * Democracy (50%+1)
     * Majority (80%)
     * Minority (20%)
     * Karmatocracy (highest-karma proposals)
     * Dictatorship (instant approval)

- **Anarchy**: Anarchy is the default mode. If no candidature is elected at resolution, Anarchy is proclaimed. Under Anarchy, any inhabitant can propose laws.

- **Proposals**: If you are the ruling inhabitant or part of the ruling tribe, you can publish law proposals. Non-dictatorship methods create a public voting process.

- **Proposal limit**: Each inhabitant may publish at most 3 law proposals per cycle.

- **Laws**: When a proposal reaches its approval threshold, it becomes a Law and appears in the Laws tab with its enactment date.

- **Revocations**: Any approved law can be revocate using current goverment method ruling.

- **Historical**: The Historical tab displays every past government cycle and information about its management.

- **Leaders**: The Leaders tab contains a ranking of inhabitants or tribes that have governed (or stood as candidates), ordered by efficiency.

===== Government methods =====

The Parliament **can operate under multiple systems of governance**. Each form defines how decisions are made, how power is distributed, and how proposals become law.

==== Anarchy ====

{{ :socialnet:anarchy.png?nolink&200 |}}

**Default mode of OASIS governance.**
If no valid government is elected, Anarchy is proclaimed.
In this state, __any inhabitant can propose laws__, and decisions emerge organically through open participation.

==== Minority ====

{{ :socialnet:minority.png?nolink&200 |}}

__A system where 20% approval is sufficient for a proposal to become law.__
Encourages experimentation and agility, allowing minority voices to shape the network’s direction.

==== Democracy ====

{{ :socialnet:democracy.png?nolink&200 |}}

__Requires a 50% + 1 majority for decisions to pass.__
Balances fairness and inclusivity, making it the standard method for collaborative governance in OASIS.

==== Majority ====

{{ :socialnet:majority.png?nolink&200 |}}

__Demands an 80% consensus for approval.__
This form promotes strong collective alignment and long-term stability over rapid change.

==== Karmatocracy ====

{{ :socialnet:karmatocracy.png?nolink&200 |}}

__Power is weighted by karma, rewarding social contribution and reputation__.
Proposals backed by high-karma inhabitants or tribes gain precedence, making influence a measurable and dynamic factor.

==== Dictatorship ====

{{ :socialnet:dictatorship.png?nolink&200 |}}

In Dictatorship, __the elected ruler can instantly approve laws without a public vote__.
It is a high-risk, high-efficiency mode that tests the resilience and trust of the community.

===== Purpose =====

The Parliament of [[:socialnet/overview|OASIS]] is not merely a governance mechanic — **it is a social experiment in collective intelligence and digital democracy**.

By enabling multiple political systems to coexist and evolve, the Parliament __allows the community to observe the consequences of governance choices in real time__: how consensus emerges, how influence circulates, and how stability or chaos arises from collective behavior.

Ultimately, its purpose is to mirror human political diversity in a digital ecosystem — to learn how communities self-organize, distribute power, and maintain balance without central authority.
