The Constitution in one paragraph
The Republic of Fluid is a participatory democracy. Its land, water, air, workplaces and knowledge are held in common, and nobody draws an income simply from owning something that produces. The economy is planned in real quantities to meet the needs people register, inside limits set by what nature can renew. Food, water, housing, energy, healthcare, education, care and transport are free and depend on nothing you do. One elected Assembly of two hundred makes the laws and executes them through committees of its own members. Courts drawn by lot, planners answerable to those who elect them, and five independent watchdogs hold that Assembly to the limits written here. Some of those limits can never be removed, by anyone, by any majority.
