If you established your own country..........

Federal republic with a good deal of power lying in the regions. Unicameral legislature, voting at 16 along D'Hondt proportional representation lines. Voting voluntary. The nation would be completely neutral and maintain only a small defence force - enough to protect against outside attack.

A simple bill of rights would combine personal liberties with something along the lines of FDR's second bill of rights to ensure that the government is committed to the people and not to corporations.

Oil and major industries would be nationalized and a huge program of industrialization will begin, combined with industrial tariffs. Much of the oil profits would be given to the people, with some remaining in the government coffers to fund economic expansion.

for example, we would have no 'age of consent'

You're sick motherf**ker, opebo. I just don't understand how forum can like you.

Why? The USSR never had an age of consent and Bolivia still doesn't.
