Ustwo, I think you might be simplifying the situation a bit; I think that the historical properties of the land masses which have become the US and Canada easily have as much to do with the strength of the economies and the desirability of residence as the differences in the government styles, but maybe that's just me.
For a contribution to the question of government forms, I'm going to suggest that government service be treated like the military is in much of the world; everyone has to serve a certain period of time, at some level of their local, city, state or federal government; depending on their intelligence, resume, etc. Furthermore, there is a limit to how long a person can spend in a particular position, and how long they can spend total. ie. a person has to eventually live under the laws they help to form while they are in the government.
will, in your system does the government control the means of production? I'm wondering how much those shares are different from votes? Furthermore, it would seem that this system would just give control of the government to the rich, more so than they already control it in our present system. Wouldn't those with more shares, and/or more highly valued shares, simply control the government through majority votes? I'd have to think about it a little more to have a more well thought out opinion, I think.
