I'd consider seriously trying out true anarchy. No laws, no government. I'm sure it would last about 5 minutes.

It last only until you find out who has the biggest set of nads. Then they are king.

I voted for a natural law party once, I did not like the main candidates and new they would not win.

Eventually organized crime will fill in the gaps, all good sit in your throne watching the anarchy unfold. :)

I'd hope that the people which are going to the new terraformed world are at least smart enough not to try any shit with attempting to take power over the civilization and live with everyone without any laws or government. Guy can dream can't he?

I'd arm everyone and let them sort it out. It would probably the most polite society ever.

Dictatorship. Cuba is proof that if the dictator has the people in mind, it is the purest form of governance

Poverty and hunger are rampant in Cuba. They have been propped up by the ussr. Their oppressive private business laws have allowed their fields to law fallow.

Common saying in Cuba "they pretend to feed us. We pretend to work."

Cuba is a country with little to no resources, anyway. The fact that they do so well speaks wonders of the distribution of resources

Still, fair point.

The constitution would be a lot like what we have in the U.S. We would make some edits though. I would probably mix in some parlimentary ideas to avoid the two party system. And publicly fund campaigns.

Pretty much how I would do it. Perform a liberty bug check, roll in the amendments and reboot what the US was supposed to be.

Assuming everyone would abide with whatever I choose, it would be cool to try and set up an absolute communist government to see if we could make it work.

I wish there were more social experiments with this kind of stuff. Instead of having strong Federal government, let each city decide the system they want just to compare strategies and see what happens. Instead of everyone trying to make their city fit their ideals, just move to the city that shares your ideals.

I'll be in the city that removes the idea of needing to survive. Everyone has what they need to survive, after that your free to live whatever life you want. Just don't fuck with someone else's life and incentivize people to fill the jobs needed. I want to see what humanity can create when it no longer has to but wants to.

Some kind of democratic technocracy.

Probably fairly authoritarian until I die, or things are pretty settled down. We're talking a new world here, lots of room for error. I wouldn't trust a representative democracy with not fucking things up and killing everyone or becoming some weird bullshit centered hysteria state until things were fairly settled.

Psychological evaluations and tests for the people around me prominent in the government to try to weed out the kind of people seeking power for it's own sake, or at least keep them limited (if they are invaluable).

After transition, and there would be one eventually, I trust me, there would not be mandatory voting, but mandatory education on political issues. At the very least some kind of test to determine what issues are important to people, and what candidates align most with those beliefs. That way at least the people who do vote, don't get hoodwinked (people would be pretty freaking busy in a completely new world). In addition political terms would be 2 years, though unlimited. However, there would be procedures in place for recalls. Campaigning would be restricted to a single month long period, and there would be strict campaign finance regulations. Willful violations of them (and not just mistakes, people fuck up sometimes) would be considered treason, and would initiate a voting period where the public would get to decide the punishment, and I'm talking write in, the most popular suggestions are taken, and then voted on.

I think that is as good of a start as I could possibly give people tbh. After that it's up to them.
