Power in your hands

A de-centralised government empowers citizens to run national initiatives and services are being created to support the most vulnerable population that has led to practically decentralised government.

Local participation is strong with 93% of people voting in local elections with only 13% being involved on national level.

...

There’s been a push for an open and innovative government

Icreased levels of activism have resulted in a monumental shift in the way the government works. An open government that has a real-time understanding of socio-economic problems.

Through the use of AI, Public services, such as providing care for the elderly, Waste management and Healthcare, can be offered to individuals in a predictive and timely manner. Meaning that no one is left behind and everyone is catered for.

Future Scenario


It’s your responsibility to help those in need

Imagine that a rural area nearby densely inhabited by vulnerable ageing population is experiencing a drought. Using an open source platform you select the type of support you want to provide.

You can choose from: providing food and water, transportation from the area, temporary accommodation, medical supplies or sponsoring a nurse or a career. Through this initiative you become more involved in your local community of volunteers.
