In the Republic, Sex based on Lottery (PLANNED LOTTERY) will be enforced. This is due to the fact that the Republic was supposed to be a perfect society so they had to bred the best. However this leads to the same few people will end up always breeding while some will never get the chance to breed. Children from sex out of the usual lottery will be left to die for best of society. These children from the lottery sex will then be left in the care of the state. All parents would come together to celebrate events in their “child’s” life like birth months, successes, graduation, etc.
State raised children help to dismantling of a "mine – yours mentality" and this would strengthen communal bond of the Republic. This leads to people caring more about each other. However, personally i feel that this society will never be possible. Since sex was planned as according to the Republic random couplings does not lead to the best offspring, children belongs basically to only a small group of "best bred" as not everyone will have the chance to have their own babies due to the lottery. Therefore, maybe if only 1 of the thousands of kids are mine, i would care less as i will never even know if my kid is in there. I feel that this "perfect" society will never be plausible and definitely will not exist as i feel that reducing the mine your mentality might not bring the best out of the citizens.
