The Micronation of Akua Ni'ihau Pharaocracy: excerpt

https://www.createspace.com/3707398

Citizens Status:

There are 5 Classes of People in the Pharaocracy of Niihau:

1. Akua Class – the Sovereign & his Family, and other divine people.

2. Nobles Class [Ali’i] – Friends of the Sovereign & Residents of the Island (Natives).

3. Citizens [Kupa] – Non-resident, a general class of people. Includes Natives of Niihau & Kauai.

4. Plebeian – Non-Citizens, or Visitors to the Pharaocracy.

5. Shabtis – Reduced Status due to Crime or Debts.

Akua Class:

Akua are traditionally divine people (i.e. Psychic, super-psychic, deity) who were alive among the Native Hawaiians and interacted with them. As Pharaoh is traditionally considered Divine, s/he is an Akua; the Egyptian word for Akua may be Akhu, or “Angel.” Akua are tax-exempt.

Nobles Class:

Nobility here are the Friends of Pharaoh, including any close allies; it also includes the Native people who “came with the Island of Niihau.” [Resident Niihau’ans] Nobles (Ali’i) are exempt from Income Taxes.

Citizen Class:

A Citizen of the Pharaocracy of Niihau is a Native of Niihau, a Native Hawaiian from Niihau and living elsewhere, or a patron of M7’s books. In USA one has to read the History & Government of America for Naturalized Citizenship. Citizens have reduced Taxes (income tax is 5% to 7% per month), but at the moment this is optional should the USA pay its debts to me so I won’t need to charge taxes; otherwise the taxes remain in effect. The USA owes M7 somewhere in the hundreds of billions of US$, according to a source.

Plebeian Class:

Plebes are non-citizens, or Visitors to Niihau. Plebes if in the Country longer than 1 week will pay Income Taxes of 10% to 15% per month thereafter starting on the first day after the first week of visit. US Military for the Missile Base are exempt, as this base is leased to Niihau.

Shabtis Class:

In Lieu of a Prison or other punishments, this is a reduced status of person for Crime or Debts. If a person is bankrupt for more than 6 months, or owes debts to the Pharaocracy of Niihau, or violates Major Crime laws, said person will become a Shabty Class status until this is removed upon redemption. Shabtis are also foreigners who try to steal parts of Niihau or anyone trying to overthrow it, violate our laws or customs, investigate it with malicious intent, etc. Shabtis may not vote, hold public or official office, collect State welfare or social benefits (to prevent the State from paying their debts), or enlist in the Military. Shabtis may appeal this status after 1 year if the Courts agree on some form of compensation [Paid Fines] in their situation.

Notes:

Nobles have the potential to become Sovereign (Pharaoh) should no heir is found or appointed successor by the previous Pharaoh. If No Nobles are available, this responsibility is sent to Citizens who may elect a Sovereign via a random Lottery of qualified individuals. Qualifications for Pharaoh may include: a University Degree (B.A., B.S., M.A., M.S., Ph.D., etc.), high moral values, stamina or physical qualities, knowledge of Ancient Civilizations & of Niihau History, and leadership skills. Any runoff election where 2 or more candidates are available, the outcome may be decided by a competition of winning 2 out of 3 Senet Board Games. Senet is an Ancient Egyptian board game similar to Backgammon using Chance as a decisive factor. Reading this Book may be considered for Citizen status, though I prefer it be one of my novels.

Citizens and above classes may choose a Patron Deity as a prefix to their personal name. Patron Deity names may be either Native Hawaiian or Ancient Egyptian in origin (gods, goddesses, deified people). Examples: (Male): Horus, Osiris, Anubis, Thoth, Ptah, Bes, Nu, Seth, Amun, Ra, Amun-Ra, Nefertum, Sobek; Ku, Kane, etc. (Female): Isis, Mut, Nephthys, Maat, Hathor, Tauret, Shai, Sakhmet, Selqet; Pele, etc. So this is read like: Horus Michael, Isis Mary, Anubis Harry, Thoth John, Ku Matthew, etc. Citizens and Nobles may use a Cartouche for their names, but only Akua class may use a rectangular Serekh for their names.

Citizen’s responsibilities include a Pledge of Loyalty (similar to Pledge of Allegiance in USA), said at four different times of day. This may be said to a flag (sign of deity) or stone/wooden Tiki statue, or in a circle of stones.

1. At Morning: “Hail Kheper-Ra! With Peace and Friendship.”

2. At Noon: “Hail Ra! With a good life and success.”

3. At Evening: “Hail Atum-Ra (or Tmu-Ra)! With prosperity and good luck.”

4. At Night: “Hail Osiris-Ra! With compassion and forgiveness.”

The Eldest and most Able Child or Adult of each House or Family may join the Council of Elders as an Initiate. The Council of Elders oversees the Courts of Law, Ancestor’s rights, and acts like an Advisory to Pharaoh (i.e. Senate). Citizens may adhere to a Moral Code of Law, while Plebes may adhere to the Provincial Laws of the UEIR (Code Caesar 4.0). The Laws of PON may be enforced by Security Forces, Pharaoh’s Magic, or via Kauai Island when available.

Government:

The Top Position is of course the Pharaoh. Below this are the Vizier(s), & High Priest, then following are the Royal Overseers, Nomarchs (Governors), Scribes, Artists & Craftspeople, and then the Food producers or Farmers. The Vizier is a Prime Minister. Depending on the size of this Government, one Vizier is necessary, with a deputy PM if needed. The High Priest handles all elements relating to making the gods happy (weather deities or “Elemental Chronokinetics”), and collecting donations & prayers from the people. The Royal Overseers are like a Board of Directors. Nomarchs are governors; I may only require one for Niihau, to run day-to-day activities. Scribes or Writers, Secretaries, or general bureaucracy, assist with creating legal forms, printing, newspapers / newsletters, reporting news, etc. Artists & Craftspeople are assigned to creating Niihau jewelry (leis), murals, wooden crafts, etc. The Food production crew or Farmers (M7) will tend to the storage of food and other products; if wheat is allowed there [Kauai or Niihau], we can store it in granaries for use as currency (in exports).

Royal Overseers:

Overseer of Treasury: Basically it is an accountant, in charge of finances for the government, oversees currency and taxes.

Overseer of Military: Viceroy. Chief of Security, oversees immigration and tourists, military, police/security, robots, Public Relations, port security, helicopter port, energy, media, terrorism, aircraft security, and foreign governments.

Overseer of Bureaucracy: Chief Scribe. Secretary of State, oversees legislation, office work of King, reports to King, national security issues, takes notes at meetings, updates websites, email, & other items. Keeper of the Royal Seal / Insignia.

Overseer of Agriculture. Chief of farming and ranches. Oversees granaries in city-state, water, sanitation, irrigation, recycling, environmental issues, wildlife habitats, eco-farming, genetic modified food, vineyards, orchards, greenhouses, foreign imports, etc.

Overseer of the Media/Technocrat. Overseer of entertainment, television, film, Museums, Archaeologists, sports, printing press (books, magazine, newspaper, currency), concerts, festivals, videos, research technology, Communications Officer, etc.

Overseer of Theocracy: Kahuna Priest. Chief of Temples/Churches, Native issues, Akua, education, marriage, ceremonies, customs, intelligence gathering, covert assignments, ambassadors, & civil services.

Overseer of the Courts: Chief Justice. From the Elder Council is a representative or Senior Elder who is caretaker of the Legal System when Pharaoh is unavailable. While a General Forum may decide Court cases, the Elder Council presides over major crimes, lawsuits, legal threats from foreign nations (USA, Japan), environmental issues, pollution, family issues, Natives of Niihau, and other information. Each Chief Justice should have a University degree in some form of Law (USA law degrees are permitted when dealing with American tourists) or Criminal Justice; that is “should have” but is not required.

Overseer of Foreign Relations/ Foreign Affairs & Immigration: Emir or Sultan: Each Emir or Sultan is, as you may guess, representative of Foreign Affairs. The foreign affairs correspondent may dress in exotic clothing to give a good impression to foreign Heads of State that wish diplomatic ties to Niihau, and may have a private stipend to pay for traveling. This office may oversee tourism and Entrance Visas separate from the Viceroy.
