The citizens of the Utopian States Macro Manage the country by voting on simple plans and ideas called Directives. A directive that has achieved a sufficiently high percentage of the vote, is given to the Senate to be turned into viable rules, regulations and, if necessary, law.

A directive is a guiding policy. A directive might, for example, be empowered that mandates a 5% cut in taxes. The Senate, subsequent to the empowerment of the directive, would actually make the legislation that would handle the details without violating other directives.

Directives ARE:

• Directives are created by a randomly selected group of people (similar to jury duty in the United States).
• Directives are voted upon by the general population.
• Directives are usually created by the House of Representatives which, in the Utopian States, is a group of people randomly selected from a group of people that are graduates from accredited Universities.

• Directives may not nullify other directives unless that is the specified intention.
• Directives may not force sudden change on any group that does not considerably harm others.
• Directives may not specify changes that effect the economy at a rate of more than 5% per year.
