As a thought experiment, imagine a world where borders exist as they are but the whole political process inside them everywhere is to 1) choose a zone randomly 2) choose a citizen randomly 3) receive policy proposal from them 4) vote yes/no on policy using random dice 5) for resolving ambiguity on any and all policy details such as "how much" or "for how long", return to step 1.

It's uh, king for a day, with checks and balances on human cruelty via chaotic caprice. How likely is that world to be worse than ours? If so, how much worse? If not here and now, then which counterfactual geography or year would you have to transported to so that this randomized process is definitely preferable?
