This paper introduces the concept of trigonocracy, a novel government system designed to address the limitations and challenges of contemporary democratic structures. Trigonocracy constitutes a mixture of democracy, meritocracy and technocracy, and emphasizes the principles of competence, accountability, and transparency (CAT principle) to create a more stable, fair, and efficient form of governance. The paper outlines the theoretical foundations, including the current global socio-political landscape, and the motivation for a new system that integrates expert knowledge into decision-making processes. Key components of trigonocracy include a federal structure with multiple levels (municipal, regional, national, supranational, and global) and a unique election system based on subject-specific voting rather than candidate-centric campaigns. The system introduces five state powers: the legislative, executive, jurisdiction, mediacative (media oversight), and monecative (financial oversight), each with distinct roles and responsibilities to ensure balanced governance. The paper also proposes comprehensive educational reforms to prepare citizens for active participation in this new system, emphasizing critical thinking, digital literacy, and ethical behavior. Additionally, it highlights the importance of integrating scientific knowledge into policymaking and maintaining a secular approach to governance. Trigonocracy aims to foster international cooperation, sustainable development, and social justice, addressing both current and future global challenges. The proposed system seeks to transform political structures to better serve the needs of humanity, ensuring long-term stability and progress.
