<<< I think the best way to measure "best interest" is with a citizenship stock market. That would show what is happening with the country's interest, since the country is the people in it, not some separate entity>>> I don't think we are ready for this brave new world that you envision. The Nation Model or any of its subsets are probably too complex for any existing computer system. For now, a simple mission statement, built into a written Constitution that will allow human ingenuity to florish will have to do. For now, the role of government should be to maintain order without being intrusive. That is about all we can hope for. Eventually everything can be calculated via regression analysis. But, that is a long ways off. You can bet that if we try it now, we will not be able to identify and quantify all the variables. There will be huge mistakes. And you can be sure the mistakes are going to be very costly. Mary
