I understand the importance of culture in any society but why couldn't it be done when the fundamentals & basics for survival in a land are dealt with? Primarily; food, shelter & defence. Anything after these three factors is surplus if we're being bare bones basic. The main industries of the land would revolve around food ( i. e. agriculture, livestock, compulsory state farm service, state-owned supermarkets & state food banks etc.), shelter (i. e. subsidised housing, state-owned hotels & hotel franchises) & defence (i. e. compulsory military training, border guards & a local military industrial complex).
You'd think some of the developed countries would be designed like this but they aren't for various capitalist reasons. Some socialist countries may have used these methods but perhaps not in the exact same fashion. They're all very laissez-faire & decentralised. In fact, I've only heard of a state hotel being spoken of in Burundi.
A state bank would ensure that the finances of the land are kept in the land if all individuals are required by law to have an account in the state bank.
Subsidised housing could be our matchbox houses (lounge, bathroom, kitchen & two bedrooms) in South Africa in a five-storey, high-rise building or a simple, single bedroom-bathroom, two-room arrangement for the poor/homeless which themselves would be a five-storey high-rise housing arrangements with a small planting patch for each house like in rural China. Five-storey so it is not too difficult to construct & not too catastrophic if disaster should happen. The larger housing would be a rent-to-own type contract & the smaller housing for the homeless would be a small fee for two months just to help individuals in need. The hotel franchise would be in select cities & towns across the land & perhaps expand continentally or even internationally. Subsidised high-rise buildings for housing are a Soviet creation. I imagine subsidised housing would be easier for the government to document on a census in order to provide services also.
Transport system in the land & National Unity would be as in the links below. Taxi drivers are part of the communities we live in & many would surely prefer government employment. National Unity would ensure tribalism & racism is kept to a minimum.
The Education & Sports system in the land would work symbiotically.
We could borrow the easy & fast business registration concept from Rwanda to grow our economy.
An employment or job seeker database for every citizen in the land to help in the census & helping individuals find employment.
A legal system that punishes the crime the individual committed & not punishes the individual regardless of which crime they committed aka Lex Talionis.
A near perfect land that leaves no one, including minorities, disenfranchised.
In brief:
• Food, Shelter, Defence are the state's first priority.
• State Bank.
• Subsidised public housing & hotels.
• State-owned transport system.
• Symbiotic Education (comprehensive education for the needs of the land) & Sport system.
• Easy business registration.
• Employment/job-finding database.
• Concept of National Unity.
• Lex Talionis.
