Internationally, diplomatic wrangling continues and won't be resolved anytime soon, but that's exactly what Divine Land wants—let it drag on; the longer it drags on, the more advantageous it is for them.

Besides, Divine Land isn't afraid of them turning against each other now; who knows who will suffer the consequences then?

However, for the people of Divine Land, the hottest topic online recently is still the online voting in the Cherry Blossom Country.

After all, the mere mention of Cherry Blossom Country is enough to ignite anger in every Divine Land People, and this voting area is clearly a place for all Divine Land People to vent their frustrations.

First, there's the vote on the political system. The options here are all submitted by netizens themselves, so there are hundreds of choices, basically covering every imaginable and unimaginable political system.

After several days of voting, several political systems emerged from among so many, leaving the others far behind with overwhelming votes.

Slavery, traditional slavery, was simply a system where a few lucky citizens were selected to become slave owners.

Serving the nation is the kind of nation depicted in a certain dark anime.

The Kingdom of Women aims to establish a nation consisting only of women, male femininity, and futa.

The Sage King—this is the ultimate monarchy that exists only in theory.

Gestalt is a social and ethnic structure that represents the ultimate form of civilization.

Skynet puts everyone under Skynet complete surveillance; nothing can be hidden.

As the saying goes, on the internet, besides perverts, there are also keyboard warriors. As long as a group is active enough, it will eventually become a pornographic group. And the ultimate fate of a pornographic group is to be shut down because of witnessing such activity.

Therefore, in such matters, the political systems that emerged victorious fell into two categories.

One type is the choice of the old perverts, while the other is the choice of the ultimate witness.

While serving the country might sound appealing, reality is different from anime. In anime, all you need is sex, but in reality, there are many more things to consider.

Moreover, aside from venting, this thing offers no benefit to the development of a political system, and there's basically no point in studying it. Most importantly, even with a sexually suggestive political system, one still can't get over it or enjoy it.

Aren't the cheapest options still going to the local Cherry Blossom Country? That's not worth it.

Therefore, after several days of competition, Skynet System ultimately won the most votes.

Subsequently, relevant cultivators will take action to construct a large-scale monitoring array in this area, allowing all Divine Land People to observe the actions of everyone inside via the internet.

Those who live in such an environment will have no privacy whatsoever.

After the political system was chosen, the next step was to vote on laws.

In this area, since multiple laws can be in effect as long as they do not conflict, the selection process involves more people, and the number of options is far greater than the overall number.

After all, there are only a few political systems that keep changing, but when it comes to laws, anyone can come up with a few.

This online betting area wasn't chosen arbitrarily; after all, Divine Land naturally knows what its Divine Land People hate most.

Centered around the Yasukuni Divine Toilet, the area Fallout outwards to a large region within Edo's urban area, which is also quite densely populated.

Soon, the first law to stand out was enacted.

Although half of the Yasukuni Divine Toilet had been burned down, thanks to the efforts of the Cherry Blossom Country, it has now been almost completely restored, and the first law in its series addresses this place.

Cherry Blossom Country.

At the same time, the entire shrine was to be renovated, with all the memorial tablets replaced with those of anti-Japanese war heroes, and the original ones were replaced with the floorboards from the shrine.

Clearly, revenge is something ingrained in the bones of the Divine Land People; no one will forget it.

This category received far more votes than any other category, far ahead of the others.

Then came several more fireworks, equally filled with a spirit of revenge, as everyone vowed to repay the humiliation Divine Land had suffered tenfold here.

Of course, this kind of revenge cannot be allowed to run rampant without any restrictions. Otherwise, if a battle royale were to be launched and only one person could survive in the entire region, what would be the point of the experiment? It would simply become a way to vent one's anger.

Venting anger isn't the problem; the problem is that even if someone is an enemy, you should still extract every last drop of value from them before killing them.

Soon, all sorts of bizarre laws were introduced, making it arguably the most bizarre law in world history.

Let's not even talk about the tithe, which is comparable to that of an emperor; the racial discrimination laws that would make even the most racist people in the world frown; the racial hierarchy that would make Indians gasp; the wheelchair that would make Mongolia stand up for themselves... etc. We can't have these, or the killing would be too swift.

In short, this law, filled with all sorts of bizarre provisions and harsh penalties, was thus enacted.

Forget about freedom and democracy; even King Zhou of Shang would have to admit he was inferior to you.

Of course, since it's the law, it won't be a complete annihilation; after all, it's a social experiment, not some kind of government-driven rebellion.

Although this law is filled with all sorts of strange and bizarre provisions and extremely harsh penalties, as long as you are an ordinary person, going to and from get off work in a normal way, living a simple life between home, company, and restaurant, then absolutely no law can affect your life.

On the contrary, this law is extremely malicious when it targets the wealthy.

Although Divine Land is now a society that emphasizes spiritual cultivation, it has only been a few years, and people's hatred for the rich is still very evident.

The idea of resenting the rich has always been a mainstream ideology on the internet: the poor resent the middle class, the middle class resents the rich, and the rich are eyeing the even richer.

This stuff has been fermenting for many years, and naturally it won't stop now.

Anyone involved in economic crimes or abuse of power for personal gain will be sentenced to death. In more serious cases, their entire family will be exiled. In cases where death is deemed insufficient, the entire family will be executed.

For economic crimes, the principle of joint liability in Divine Land law is the most effective.

Regardless of whether you own any property, if you engage in any acts of self-interest, your entire family will be exposed.

Based on the idea in Capital that 20% of the population controls 80% of the wealth, netizens have even created a completely new way of redistributing wealth.

Once Skynet determines that 80% of the wealth is controlled by less than 20% of the population, it will select the group with the highest wealth holdings from this 20% and neutralize them, allowing the wealth to flow back into society.

Such a law has never existed in the countless years to come.

After all, there has always been a principle that only officials are exempt from punishment, not that common people are exempt from punishment.
