Why, thank you kind sir! But, we will indeed have to have an army. I predict we will be invaded on a regular basis, since we will be the only nation on earth with a full schedule of intelligent television programming.
Oh, I also decree that there shall be ONE and ONLY ONE television station. Only one will be needed, because, since all Brownians are highly intelligent, we'll all want to watch the same shows together. All the other nations will be jealous, and will try to capture our Program Director (by the way, I nominate fellow Browncoat Zoid for this coveted position).
A fellow soon-to-be Brownian, Static, is, I believe, currently serving oversees (or am I mistaken?). I hereby appoint Static to be Commander In Chief of Brownia's military forces--since he's already got the experience, and knows firsthand what a war is like, I think he'll be brilliant in keeping Brownia from ever firing a shot in anger.
Any others?

I'm in, as long as I get to be in charge of the cavalry and 'accidental requisitioning' of things from neighboring yet annoying lands on our borders.
These are things I'm good at. I even know how to whistle old cavalry songs whistfully.

Well, as far as economy is concerned... we could always become the world leader in holographic tavern accessories. Not to mention producers of many other shiny firefly technologies.
What can I say... I'm a geek.

I'll join in the "All hail!" with two more stipulations. Firstly, I'm wondering if we can arrange the positioning of the Serenity replica so that the cargo bay empties out into said aforementioned lake. Joss apparently did want this to happen at some point in the show, and frankly, with the replica on top of a hill, I see nothing but good times to be had.
Secondly, and this may seem a bit out of turn, but there was a mention of taxes being payable in beer... I guess what I'm trying to say is...could I be a government employee? Of the collector sort?
Yep. Got it all worked out.
So where we figure to pick out this little corner of some and where?

Footage presented in enderingly comical scratchy-jumpy stock from foreign news-service.
1930's English newsreel style narrator voice - Narrator: "...Rumsfeld said that most of the pickle harvest was saved. Meanwhile, abroad in Brownonia, The Glorious Leader Announces A New Golden Age of Television Viewing!"
"Fellow Browncoats, a new day is upon us. A day when no man nor woman can frown upon the fruits of television. A day when cromulent television embiggens the soul. The future is bright, the future is shiny!"
Narrator voice: "All-Shiny Badgershat waved to the adoring crowds as he travelled through the square on his motorised penny farthing. Several babies were blessed at the event, and it has been reported that Adam Baldwin guest-starred at the buffet table. Minister for Culture Nervous Pete had further instruction on this happy day..."
Me, stood upon a huge wooden podium, possibly filmed by Leni Riefenstal. "To celebrate this noble first day of our great and good land, I hereby list the television shows airing tonight from six o'clock. Be there or be in that internment camp over there."
Narrator: "The wise man then listed the television shows..."
Me: "At six o'clock we open with 'Father Ted', an endering comedy about strange and surreal Catholic priests. At half past six we have a classic episode of Bilko. At seven we have an episode of 'The Prisoner'. At a quarter to eight there is the news followed by our national anthem. At eight o'clock we have the first in a re-run pre-emptive to the all new Firefly episodes. (*Sigh*) At nine there is a chance to see the pilot for the only genuinely good teen drama ever, 'My So Called Life' followed by the Brit cold-war vampire thriller 'Ultraviolet'. Then at eleven there is the film 'Serenity' followed by a two hour compendium of Dangermouse. The news and the national anthem follow at three o'clock."
Narrator: "Then the Minister Gunhand joined Nervous Pete on the podium with the All-Shiny, and asked everyone to rise for the national anthem..."
All: "Take my love..."
Sergei Eisenstein montage of men looking steely, women joyous, children looking proud, an old man weeps for the fruition of his dreams. Several montage shots of steel pistons and combine harvesters. A squadron of Firefly spaceships fly over the crowd. Children present flowers to party officials and the All-Father bounces a baby on his shoulder to the warm laughter of all. All is well in the land. Across the square, a ring of bodyguards protect Joss Whedon from adoring crowds as he gets his free run of the wine and second-hand book shops.
(Perhaps more to come later, from me and others)

Okay, no one's called Empress, so I'm now Empress Teela.
I'm decreeing that no one can call God/Goddess/Other Entity. THIS MEANS YOU!

Oo-oh! Can I run the bank? Huh? Huh? Can I? I will guard the beer, chocolate and other taxes collected with my very life! Really, I will! I have 13 years of bankin' experience, but that's just with paper and plastic.

... sniff.... it's so beautiful... my dream, my wonderful dream...
I thank you, my dearest friends, for your kind words. I had no clue any of you would have such strong ideas for a Firetopia...
As for where we live... we start off in the beautiful Carribbean, then expand outward in concentric circles, until the entire planet is wearing a brown coat!
And as far as Gods/Goddesses/etc... well, there really is only ONE Supreme Being, and His name is Joss...
Oh, and since this is MY idea, *I* am the one to guard the beer, the chocolate, and the cigars...
... muuahahahahaha!!!

The IMPORTANT thing is that we are independent but united. If we are all under one rule, wouldn't that be kind of against the Browncoat philosophy? But i do think have a president type would be a good idea.
I call Vice President in charge of Production! (I've always thought that to be a shiny title! )
Maybe we should name it something like Shadow (Mal's home) or Serenity or something like that, but as a people we will be known as the Browncoats, like New Zealander's are called Kiwis. We will be known for saying shiny just like Canadian's are known for eh? (i'm not sure if thats actually true, so i'm sorry if it isn't, but its what i've heard)
I'm liking how this is turning out!

No taxes? Then how will we pay for services and such?
Will there be schools? Roads? Garbage pick-up? Parcel delivery?
If so, who will do it and will they do it for free?
Would you?
