Peroration
In order to translate the concept of the seven worlds of the Easter Island to formulas of
Administration and Government, there are numerous valid alternatives that maintain the
essence and the objective that guides the central idea of this proposal.
The seven islands are only one Easter Island. The whole Easter Island belongs to each one
of these seven islands. Each island has equal right to fight for its past, its present and its
destiny.
In general, the Authority of each island must have a total autonomy, independence and
responsibility for its decisions within the concert of agreements that the seven islands may
take together as a Confederation with superposed territories.
The authority of each island, and all its dependent personnel, must be chosen from the
most illustrated and selected people of their specialty in the country. They must have the
knowledge, the experience, the efficiency, the balance, the dedication and the love in the
maximum verified level. They must have real abilities as statesmen and humanists.
Each authority must have the respect and the recognition of its conditions among the
greater levels of each specialty in the country and overseas.
This authority, in each one of the seven islands, should raise directly from the National
Executive Authority or through the superior organisms of the State that this power considers
advisable to act as intermediary. It will have to render and to take responsibility of its
performance before the island and them.
It is advisable to renew or reelect these authorities for periods not longer than 4 years, with
the intention of causing agility, efficiency and responsibility.
Each one of those authorities would have, as well, to be the administrator of its own “task” in
a direct way, as the high chief of a professional and administrative service, which financing
could be made independently or through the superior organism to which they report.
The seven confederate authorities could choose, in a rotating way, a president among them,
with the only intention of ordering the debates of the Confederation and to represent it in
public acts, for periods not longer than two years.
The general functions of the Government could be grouped in a Technical Administrative
Secretary under the supervision of the Confederation.
Because of the world-wide relevance of Easter Island, this so special Confederation must
depend directly on the Executive authority, as a State Secretary. It would give importance
and hierarchy to its decisions, would facilitate the coordination with the national organisms
and would strengthen its international relations.
With respect to the local governments, it seems recommendable, in this scheme, to limit
them to functions of citizen expression, request, consensus and information and not to
executive functions. On the other hand, it would be recommendable to increase the number
of municipalities as the territory is developed, in representation of each existing and
proposed establishment.
These Municipalities with Mayors and councilmen, to be able to hear majorities and
