The entire Justice System, including Law Enforcement, can be wholly funded by Perp Fees. A common misperception is that there are Perps who cannot pay their fines. That really isn't true. Everyone has SOMETHING of Value that can be taken from him when he Initiates Force. If he is healthy enough to cause trouble, he is healthy enough to have usable organs. Or he can serve as a sex slave or a lab rat or something if he prefers to keep his organs or they are infected. Up to him. No shortage of money. I haven't worked out the Military thing yet, but I reckon the same applies... any Military Action that is justified can be paid for by taking as much of the Aggressors' land and organs and slaves as the Victim Army feels is proper recompense. I suggest it wouldn't take many such Fines for perps to decide to get into another line of work. In terms of national defense, you may find this of interest. http://tinyurl.com/5jve8 Tu Ne Cede Malis

Kewl. And if you can do that, you might as well have a Minarchy with a Constitution with a NO VICTIMLESS CRIME LAWS Clause. Now that the objection about Written Clauses being useless has been resolved.

Everyone, of course, realizes that civil war is a rather bad situation, and so it seems likely that the DROs would consider alternatives to armed combat. Why? History has shown that humans as they constitute every region we are aware of have never been so eager to avoid Civil War. Of course, you can posit that everyone is an Anarchist Of Good Will who will take the non-violent course (The No-Rogue State)... but in that case it doesn't matter what kind of Government or non-Governmental dispute resolution is in effect, everyone will behave sweetly by nature.
