Also socialist Bergonia has a different way of planning and determining land use .

The People -- 171,000,000 people. Big cities and 31 provinces. People of different races, speaking different languages and following different religions, form a single society-- a patchwork quilt threaded together by a common ideology of egalitarianism, civility, and a "live-and-let-live" attitude.

Government -- A slew of representative councils make decisions under the supervision of the elected Congress, President & Executive Council. Powerful local governments function, often with direct democracy. State governments can veto many decisions of the national government. Local political "clubs" federate into national parties. Given free television time, candidates get direct access to the people, liberated from the need to whore themselves for money, and free of filtering by a cynical press establishment.

The Economy -- Applied anarcho-syndicalist socialism has produced an open economy of worker-owned cooperatives, publicly-owned corporations, and a few select monopolies, with a federalized planning structure and limited markets. An enterprise's profits are shared by all its workers. Sole proprietorships (i.e. small shops & professions) are capitalism's only remnant.

Ecology -- Bergonia's most recent revolution-- the "Greening" of the 1980s & 90s-- has utterly changed the national way of life. Ecological concerns now stand at the center of all policy considerations and planning. The country is hell-bent dedicated to reducing energy use, eliminating waste, switching to renewable resources, and preserving the natural environment.

Religion -- Miradi, the indigenous religion, has simple purification rites, minimalist theology & dogma, and much prayerful meditation. Its followers seek "perfect vision," and openness to the holiness in (and beyond) all things. Here is a detailed article on the Prophet Krathnami's life and thought. 25% of the population is Christian, a legacy of European colonization. Also see material about past religions & mythologies.

History -- Including a history of modern times: Ethnic wars-- Industrialization-- chaos in the 1920's-- civil war and socialist revolution in the 30's-- choosing democracy-- finally the "Greening" in the 1980s. Plus Bergonia's Pre-Columbian history, stretching back 3,000 years.

"About us" -- the "Bergonia Association," my nom de plume.

Why this site? We can-- and must-- do better than the prevailing mega-corporate "New World Order," with its wage-slavery, war on nature, and homogenized culture. We'd better start dreaming up new alternatives now! I believe the very first act of genuine revolution is the act of imagination.
