Welcome to the Republic of Tex's! Where Tex is your king! (oh god)

It's time again for the annual recognition of the birth of the TexorcisT and this year we're trying something new. Instead of the usual ~everybody drink until we forgit our own names and watch Tex git nekkid with a plastic sheep on stage~, we decided to have a social experiment in it's place. Who knows? We might even learn something.

Laws of the Land:
(numbered because swift likes numbers)

1. You will be assigned a single ~bestowed~ commodity (beer, liquor, cigs, etc.) when you arrive and transfer your citizenship.
2. Services are ~natural~ commodities. Any service that you wish to market are considered natural commodities and allowed by the state.
3. Anyone caught with an ~illegal~ commodity (any commodity imported without the expressed permission of the state) will be punished by having their illegal AND legally bestowed commodities confiscated by the state (possibly for redistrabution to the citizens of the Republic of Tex's). Natural commodities cannot be revoked.
4. The Republic of Tex's congress consists of a small house of lords (appointed by the king) and a house of commons consisting of the entire population. The congress has no power other than to bring grievances to the attention of the king and suggest new law that may remedy fair trade issues. If the king agrees, it is then law.
5. Tex is your king. Tex's commodity is his benevolent rule. This affords Tex the privilege to organize a citizen militia, head the Republic of Tex's micro-congress and to levy Republic of Tex's taxes (called "texes") against whatever commodity (legal and natural) that you control. The king also has the right to make spontaneous decree's in the interest of the State.
6. Revolts and other acts of civil disobedience are catagoricly discouraged.

Registration of citzenship requires a $7.55 (rwxr-xr-x for you *nix users) processing fee IN EXACT CHANGE (no passport required). Satan's Cheerleaders and associates pay only $6.66 (some form of association identification is required)

Those interested in a seat in the house of lords can lobby the king via the usual political methods (bribery, coercion, etc.) Those interested should begin their campaign by emailing theking@TexorcisT.org.

IMPORTANT: Please RSVP so that the state can plot to secure the correct ratio of commodities. RSVP's should be sent to RSVP@TexorcisT.org.
