Today's General Assembly was the biggest assembly ever celebrated. A total of five (out of eight) citizens participated, and some important topics were covered. Creation of an economyThis was proposed by the current Minister of Culture. The proposal received very positive reactions and was approved. However, it's not even a draft proposal now. We will give more details as the economy is more developed. Human rights manifestoA manifesto condemning all attempts to erase the human rights of people was approved. This condemnation includes "any past, present and future act of unjustified violence, including terrorism, genocides, attacks against civilians and those conflicts which are unnecessary for the prosperity of the whole humanity".

Two days ago the second General Assembly was celebrated, and five out of seven citizen participated. These were the most important points discussed:
The first General Assembly was celebrated yesterday, 5 of August. This is a summary of the points discussed: Foreign PolicyThe Foreign Policy was approved by unanimity. This Policy establishes three types of relations:
Criminal CodeA citizen proposed to create a criminal code. However, this proposal was not supported by most citizens and it was dismissed. Instead, we agreed on the creation of a Code of Conduct inside the EFR Discord server, which serves as our official communication channel. This Code of Conduct will be drafted in the following days and presented in the next General Assembly. Administrative divisionsThere was a proposal to reform the administrative divisions of the nation. Until yesterday, there were six states, one for each continent. Due to our small size and the fact that we are a direct democracy, we decided to remove all states. However, any group of people from the same region or with the same culture can create a new state inside the EFR. The steps to follow to constitute a new state will be drafted and presented in the next General Assembly. Creation of the TerretalsA new measurement unit was created: the terratal. 1 terratal equals to 1 meter, and it's used to calculate the physical territory of a digital nation. We considered that using meters or kilometers could be confusing, as we do not claim any territory as ours. However, we also found interesting to know the physical size of our nation. ObserversAs of today, anybody can join the Discord server without being an Earthian. All non-Earthians have the "Observer" role, which grants them access to part of the channels of the server.

Yesterday, 16th of July, a constitutional referendum was celebrated in the Earth Republic. A 75% of the citizens participated, and the constitution was approved with unanimity. This Constitution declares the Earth Republic a federalist direct democracy and a republic. The three powers of the state are managed in the following way:
This website will be updated soon with a new design a contents. Below this text you can find a copy of the Constitution free to download.
Today the Temporary President has issued a decree creating the National Ministries of Culture, Foreign Affairs, Immigration and Communication. For the moment, the Temporary President leads all Ministries but they will speak with the active EFR citizens who might be interested in heading one of these Ministries. Decree 25.06.17: creation of the National Ministries
Today the official flag has been changed and a new logo has been established. The new flag, named Earth Flag, derives from the original World Flag by Anne Kirstine Rønhede. We have, however, changed the cyan to dark green to symbolise the life and the hope for a better world. The green circle represents the world, the white circle the atmosphere and the blue background the universe. The logo, which you can see at the header of every page of this site, is a simplified version of our flag. Decree 10.06.17: concerning the official flag, logo and colors.
Today the decree 08.06.17 was published. From now on, the Temporary President has absolute power to rule the nation. This is the full decree text: Decree 08.06.17: concerning the powers of the Temporary President
This will allow the nation to develop faster although we don't have a Constitution yet. Once enough people apply for citizenship, general elections will be celebrated.
