The Dragon shall keep a record of all of Its votes so that any citizen may examine them and see who voted for what. No vote may be made in secret. No meetings shall be held in secret, except on very special occasions when members of The Dragon must interview individuals involved in matters of national security. But such sessions should be kept to a minimum. As much as possible the public should be allowed into any meetings, and those meetings should be broadcast so that all the public may have a full understanding of what is occuring. The Dragon should at least, once a year, publish a record of all of Its doings.

Each vote that The Dragon takes shall be on one issue. No other issue may be attached to a vote. The Dragon shall vote on one issue to a time. Each member of The Dragon shall have ten minutes to debate any issue. Any of that time that they do not use may be given to another member if they desire more time to present information pertaining to the vote. But when all debate is done, a vote must be carried out. Prolonged debate to keep a subject from being voted on, will not be allowed.

Should there be a tie vote, and The Dragon cannot make a decision on a particular issue, The First Guardian may be called in to The Dragon and cast the deciding vote to end the gridlock, so that the proposed project or legislation might be either approved or, denied. No tie vote can be accepted. All issues must either be approved or disapproved.

The Dragon may vote to create projects for the public good, if the funds exist to carry out those projects, or, if the funds can be raised. If The First Speaker feels that a project is too expensive and The Republic cannot afford it, he may veto it. The Dragon can overturn that veto with a two thirds majority vote.

At no time shall The Dragon of any state or, the national Dragon impose taxes on the people. It is the Spiritist tradition that when a new business opens it give one per cent of its profit to the local government, one per cent to the state government and one per cent to the national government. It is also the tradition that each year the local churches have a special day where the public raises special donations for the local government, the state government and the national government. A day is set aside for each. Each person tries to raise as much as they can to support their government as a free will offering. No taxes shall be levied on the people other than what they, themselves are ready to give. The people should do no business with any company that does not follow the tradition of supporting their government, as they are not people that have the general welfare in mind, but only their own enrichment.

It shall be the responsibility of each local government to provide reasonably priced insurance protecting the citizens of their area against fire, theft, and murder, protecting the property and the lives of their citizens. The profits from this insurance shall be used to pay for the equipping of fire brigades and the employment of professional firemen who, in some communities may be assisted by volunteers. The profits from this insurance should also be used to pay for the maintanence of a well equipped Guardian Force to protect the citizens of the community. Some of these funds should also go to the maintaining of the militia and federal troops. No person that does not have insurance should be neglected by the fire brigades or, the Guardian officers. Whenever they are in need they should be responded to as any other citizens. But communities would have a right to require that these individuals pay a reasonable fee for the use of the community's services, not to exceed the hourly wages of the city employees that responded to their need, and any fuel that their vehicles used in rendering them service. These fees if necessary, should be stretched out in small payments over a reasonable period of time so as not to be a tremendous financial burden on the individual served.

These municipalities will not be allowed to operate monopolies. Other insurance providers should be allowed to compete with the companies set up by municipalities. But such companies should be required to give 50% of their profits to the local municipalities for the maintaining of public services. Any leftover profits would be divided among the owners of their company.
