1. SANTA MARIA SPACESHIP
Government
Don Mihovil Pavlinović Primary School, Podgora, Croatia

2. Our conclusions
• Everyone older than 16 will have the
right to vote. We expect that
children on the ship will be more
mature at that age, than other
children on Earth.
• Majority will decide. Majority means
50% + 1 vote of the voters.
• Only decisions for the benefit of the
ship will be taken.

3. • Elections will be held every 5 years.
• Voting will be entirely computerised.
• There will be one person (the
captain) in charge of the ship. He
will act as the representative of the
parliament. Parliament will consist
of 50 members.

4. • Political parties will not be forbid
den. In principle, forbidding
something will not be acceptable.
We will be tolerant. People need to
have their own opinion on politics.

5. • There should be a way to remove
the leader from office in case he
does something illegal or if he gets
seriously ill. There will be
democracy.

6. • There should not be sensitive,
restricted or top secret information
on board the ship. However, some
info about the ship safety should be
accessible to the leading group only.

7. • There should be maximum press
freedom. However, journalists
should write about daily things, not
personal and intimate details of the
crew members. Slander will be
punished. Rasistic and porno pieces
will not be allowed.

8. • Communication with Earth will take
place once a week as a routine task.
Weekly sitreps will be exchanged.
• In case of some unexpected events
(riot, mutiny, enemy attack,
extraordinary discovery, and the
like) unscheduled communication
will be recommended.
