[RFC] The History of the Crystal Millennium

[Proginoskes]

Socialist policy is a matter of government, not economics. Even the US, the very heart of modern capitalism, has some socialist programs (Welfare is the only example I can think of, but I'm sure others exist). The Crystal Millennium government is almost certainly a constitutional monarchy in which the Queen holds reserve powers. (The example I'm familiar with is the British Commonwealth, in which the Queen and her Governors-General can dismiss the Prime Minister and appoint a caretaker PM, dissolve Parliament to force an election, or refuse to sign into law a bill that has passed, though not exercising these powers is such a strong tradition that their use inevitably causes a constitutional crisis and the dismissal of the Governor-General in question.) Given the faction's focus on Love and Justice, I imagine that socialist programs are a fairly large chunk of the budget: welfare, universal healthcare, social housing, advanced education as a basic right, the works.
