    To name a few:

    • No official decision may be made without the entire process towards that decision being recorded, documented, and these records be made available to the general public with minimal restrictions. With a specific exception if revealing that information would put more people in danger than concealing it.

    • All natural resources, be it harvested (e.g. ores, oil) or otherwise (e.g. land, air), are property of everyone. If any individual is to monopolise and/or utilise some of these resources, they are to compensate everyone else for doing so.

    • Resources for the public good are to be taken from each according to their ability, and redistributed to each according to their needs.

    • Any supreme office must exist with a hard maximum time an incumbent is allowed to serve.

    • It must be possible for any person holding an official position, including any supreme offices, to be held accountable for their actions in power.

    • All official decisions must strive to be made to materially benefit the greatest number of individual people.

    • It may not be the duty and/or responsibility of government to impose opinions on the general public.

    • In an election, any vote must hold the same weight as any other vote to the greater outcome.

    • Any income and/or net worth for individuals in excess of approximately 1 Billion EUR-equivalent is to be taxed 100% and redistributed among the public, to each according to their needs.

    • Lawmakers are to be compensated an amount directly proportional to the median income of all citizens, and any benefits they receive must be equal to the legal minimum.

    • No wage may be paid that is insufficient for a person to afford a decent existence.

    • No corporation may exist where the compensation of its highest paid member exceeds 500 times the lowest. Any shortfall will be taxed upon the company at 200% the excess, and redistributed across its staff according to their needs.

    I wanted to include something that makes the government responsible for some standard of public transit, but I can’t seem to get the words right…

      I like your ideas, but have you considered that this one:

      All natural resources, be it harvested (e.g. ores, oil) or otherwise (e.g. land, air), are property of everyone. If any individual is to monopolise and/or utilise some of these resources, they are to compensate everyone else for doing so.

      Effectively makes literally everything free? Not that this would be a bad thing. It just makes so many of the other things irrelevant.
