Model government under Ownism

A model government should be very much like a confederation. A loose control of the government over the people. A proposed name is Prosia (from the latin phrase pro se which means "for himself" or "for one's own behalf") The nation should be constructed like this:

• The excutive branch of the should be headed by two people (consuls). They would be elected at the same time and they can only serve one six year term. They have to be at least 35 and at most 70. They must be citizens born inside the nation.
• The legislative branch should just be all the citizens of the nation. Any one can propose a bill, it would be reviewed by the consuls to see if the nation should vote on it. To be passed at least 81% of registered voters have to vote for it. Next it goes to the judicial branch to make sure it does not break any laws. Then it must be signed by both consuls, if not then it will have to be reintroduced. Any one who is not a citizen cannot vote.
• The judicial branch is made up of 11 people, a term last a life time, and are called judges. They are chosen by the two consuls and then voted on by the registered voters. When one of the judges steps down or passes away each consul nominates a person and the citizens decide which one should take the spot. Laws only pertain to citizens.
• Federal elected officials should be paid very little. Also they cannot be registered voters while in office.
