This is a space dedicated to exploring innovative ideas and facilitating discussions on proposed global structural reforms. Our primary goal is to support a transition to a 'Full Employment Microeconomic Liberalisation's Free World Industrial Settlement', with a particular focus on the 'Multi-Roster' system.
Proposed Reform
Increased Local Council Authority and "Local Council Mega-Corporations"
This proposal suggests a significant shift in the decentralised federal system, granting local councils greater power and responsibilities. This includes the establishment of "local council mega-corporations" tasked with managing various aspects of the local economy and administration.
Key Responsibilities of Local Council Mega-Corporations
It is important to note that the success of a local council megacorporation would be directly tied to its ability to maintain a vibrant and competitive local area. They would be competing with other local councils to attract and retain residents and businesses, creating an incentive for efficient and effective governance.
Potential Impact
This reform could lead to a more localized and efficient governance structure, with greater responsiveness to the specific needs of communities. The competitive aspect could drive innovation and improve service delivery. However, it also raises potential concerns about the concentration of power at the local level and the potential for increased bureaucracy.

Discussion Points
- What are the potential benefits and challenges of this revised reform?
- How might this reform impact the relationship between citizens, businesses, and the government?
- What mechanisms can be put in place to ensure accountability and transparency in the operation of local council mega-corporations?
- How could this reform impact economic development and social equity at the local level?
- Could this model lead to a 'race to the bottom', where local councils compete by lowering taxes and regulations at the expense of essential services or social welfare?
