I wonder if anyone would be interested in the following idea:

What if there would be a solar system where concord police is replaced by players?
A System with a player controlled station which becomes the major tradehub even bigger than Jita.
with a Station where Capitals jump in and out to spread goods throughout the galaxy.
Governed by a democratic state with divided powers, an elected administration, senat, congress, courts and police
where new and old players can harvest bounty, loot and minerals from endless anomalies asteroid belts and ice fields while beeing protected by police and so feeding the market with meta items, faction loot and minerals.
Where moons provide moon materials and home for dozens of POSes with production and research facilities.
A 0.0 System where compared to high sec, resources are there many times over.
A System where no piracy is alowed, but fights beside system defence can take place in form of tournaments and in specified combat areas.
A neutral system where everyone is welcome, but no one is allowed to be agressive.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The advantages for trade are:
-Capitals can jump in and out, transporting goods easier and faster for example to the alliance empires without long trips through high sec
-All resources are possible to harvest way more effective!
-closer to source of moon minerals
-low Refining costs without first having to do missions for standing
-closer to 0.0 pvp areas where always new material is needed

The advantages of Player Concord:
-pirates can be banned from system, makes it harder for suicide killers.
-no can flipping or other tricks which eluded npc-concord
-consensual pvp in designated areas possible
-more realism, fun and roleplay-feeling
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
income for the state would come for the largest part from trade taxes (same taxes you pay at npc stations too) and could be used for infrastructure and police ships.
special fun events like races, fleet trainings and tournaments could be held

this project would be an enormous endeavor. A lot of organisation is required and a lot of players would be needed who like the idea and would participate in it. I know there are a lot of people who dont think this can be done, please just go on and dont bother posting here. I want to hear of the people who can imagine to participate, who believe this could be interesting and fun. I want to find out how many would come together. So if you think this is great please post here.

EDIT: as it doesnt seem to be clear, im not asking for any changes in game mechanics. All these rules shall be enforced by players and not by ccp code.
