    About this ebook

    Government is not a big mystery. It is not even unique to us human beings. Wolves hunt in packs and caribou migrate in herds. Fish school. Even insects swarm and live in “colonies.” Why?

    1) Protection from threats and harm
    2) Acquiring the basic necessities of life

    It's not rocket science. It's nature. Leave it to human nature, though, to pervert it. But that would be poltics.

    The Citizen's Desk Reference is not a civics or a history book, a political manifesto or a manual for community organizing or an attempt to sway your vote left or right or otherwise. These books are like a software manual or the universal remote control operating instructions handbook that is stacked up or stuffed away somewhere particularly unhandy, especially when things aren't working right and you have finally reached the RTFM (“Read the [insert preferred expletive] Manual”) stress point so common with modern technology.

    The Citizen's Desk Reference is presented as a series of ebooks which can be read in order or, like most manuals, randomly -- even haphazardly browsed according to the crisis or interest at hand.

      Under the terms of the Act of Settlement 1701 (amended to remove gender discrimination in 2013), the heir to the British throne becomes King or Queen the instant the previous monarch dies. So, New Zealand did not rapidly accept Charles as King, as Ch

      “WE ALL BELIEVE in democracy, my dear, but some of us are too well mannered to practise it.” I can't remember where and when I first heard this quote – I may even have dreamt it or made it up – but it's probably from an Oscar Wilde play. It must have
