Genuine, Full, Direct and Protected Democracy

The wealth and power of the Uzbek people should belong only to the Uzbek people.

June 2026

DirectDemocracyS — Global Political Organization

INTRODUCTION: WHY DOES UZBEKISTAN NEED CHANGE?

Uzbekistan is one of the most populous countries in Central Asia, with a population of over 38 million, a rich culture, vast natural resources, and a strategic geographical location, and occupies an important place in the world. However, this enormous potential has not yet been fully realized. There are many resources, but their real owner - the Uzbek people - does not receive a fair share of these riches.

In the 2023 presidential election, Shavkat Mirziyoyev was re-elected with 88% of the vote. However, observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (ODIHR) noted that there was no real political competition in this election, none of the candidates criticized the president, and most of the events were held in a "planned" manner. The same signatures were found on the voting lists. This is not a formal success, but a sign of a deep crisis in the system.

DirectDemocracy's basic principle

All the wealth of every country and the right to self-determination should belong to the people of that country — exclusively and forever. This is an immutable rule that applies not only to Uzbekistan, but to all countries in the world.

This document critically examines the current state of Uzbekistan, clearly and openly describes the problems, and then proposes a complete, workable, clear and detailed program based on the DirectDemocracyS (DDS) system. It is a roadmap for building a new state based on people's power and people's democracy.

 

CHAPTER 1: POLITICAL SITUATION — CRITICAL ANALYSIS

1.1. Concentration of Power in One Hand

Since Uzbekistan gained independence in 1991, power has been concentrated in the hands of a single person. The first president, Islam Karimov, ruled the country in a rigid authoritarian style for 25 years. After his death (2016), Mirziyoyev came to power with promises of new reforms and liberalization. There have been some positive changes in the economic sphere, but the political system has not changed fundamentally.

In 2021, Mirziyoyev organized a referendum on a "new Constitution" - which essentially gave him the opportunity to run for a third term as president. The 2023 elections were considered by independent observers to be truly uncompetitive. The president's daughter, Saida Mirziyoyeva, was appointed head of the presidential administration - a clear demonstration of the family monopoly on power.

PROBLEM: Political monopoly

There is no real opposition. Not all registered parties represent disagreement with official policy. There is no real political choice for citizens. This is not democracy, but a facade.

1.2. Parliament: Formal Appearance, Unrealistic Representation

The Oliy Majlis (parliament) operates under a mixed electoral system: half majoritarian, half proportional. But in practice, all parties support government policies. The activities of opposition parties are limited or completely impossible. And citizens cannot elect their real representatives.

There is a 30% quota for women in parliament, but this is only an official figure - women's real political influence is extremely limited. Rural residents, young people and representatives of local communities cannot influence parliamentary decisions.

1.3. Mass Media and Freedom of the Press

Uzbekistan consistently ranks low in press freedom rankings, according to Reporters Without Borders. Independent journalists are persecuted, foreign websites are often blocked, and there are restrictions on critical content on social media. The media environment is controlled by the state.

PROBLEM: Information monopoly

Citizens are denied access to authentic, neutral, and independent information. State-run media outlets only cover the official point of view. This deprives citizens of the ability to make informed decisions and makes them susceptible to manipulation.

1.4. Corruption: A Systemic Problem

Uzbekistan is ranked in the bottom quarter of 180 countries on the Corruption Perceptions Index. As part of the 2022 reforms, anti-corruption measures were strengthened in 117 ministries and institutions, and compliance chiefs were dismissed. But this is a superficial cleaning operation, not a systemic response to a systemic problem.

Nepotism (appointment based on acquaintances) and neighborhoodism (regional and family ties) have become the main principles of public administration. The presence of unqualified personnel is specifically noted in the BTI 2026 report. This sharply reduces the quality of public services.

 

CHAPTER 2: ECONOMIC SITUATION — CRITICAL ANALYSIS

2.1. The Difference Between Official Indicators and Real Life

Indicator

Information

Population

38.2 million (2026)

GDP (nominal)

$181.5 billion (2026 forecast)

GDP per capita

$4,661 (2026, nominal)

GDP growth

6.0% (2026 forecast)

Inflation

7.3% (2025)

Official unemployment

5.5–6.3%

Informal unemployment (ILO)

40% of the workforce is informal

Poverty level

8.9% (2024, national limit)

Export

$33.8 billion (2025)

Import

$47.4 billion (2025)

Money transfers (remittances)

Over $5 billion (2025)

These numbers may seem positive on the surface. But a deeper analysis reveals a different picture.

2.2. The Informal Economy: An Invisible Tragedy

According to the ILO (International Labor Organization), approximately 40% of the workforce in Uzbekistan is employed in the informal sector. These people work without benefits, healthcare, labor rights, or social protection. Official statistics often list this group as "employed," but in reality they live at a high risk of poverty.

2.3. Labor Migration: Loss of Progress

About 10% of Uzbekistan's population — 3.8 million people — work abroad. Most of them in Russia and neighboring countries. The remittances these people send are a significant source of income for the national economy — more than $5 billion annually. But this situation is a tragedy for the country: the most active, most qualified, most enterprising people are working abroad, not in Uzbekistan. This is a brain drain and a drain of energy.

PROBLEM: The migration paradox

Uzbekistan releases 1 million new young people into the labor market every year. There are not enough jobs for them within the country. The economy cannot use their skills. The result: the younger generation goes abroad, and the country delays its development.

2.4. Commodity Dependence and Lack of Economic Diversification

The main part of Uzbekistan's exports consists of gold, cotton, energy carriers, textiles and metals. Industrial diversification is poorly developed. Technological production, innovation and exports of high value-added products are extremely low. This makes the country's economy very vulnerable to global price fluctuations.

2.5. Energy Crisis

Uzbekistan experienced a severe energy crisis in 2022–2024. The population and businesses were left without electricity for long periods. The BTI 2026 report attributes this crisis mainly to corruption and inefficient governance. There are programs to transition to blue energy, but by 2025 the share of green energy reached only 16%.

2.6. Financial Sector: Under State Control

The banking sector is largely state-controlled. The National Investment Fund of Uzbekistan (UzNIF) is preparing to list on the London and Tashkent stock exchanges in early 2026, a positive signal for foreign investors. But for ordinary citizens, financial services are expensive, bank loans are difficult to obtain, and microfinance opportunities are limited.

 

CHAPTER 3: SOCIAL SITUATION — CRITICAL ANALYSIS

3.1. Education: Indicators Good, Quality a Problem

Uzbekistan has a literacy rate of nearly 100% — schooling is compulsory and universal. More than 100 new schools are planned to be built by 2025 to accommodate 257,000 students. But the BTI 2026 report describes the education system as “often corrupt and inefficient.” Rural youth have significantly fewer opportunities than urban youth. Higher education enrollment has reached 40.9%, a significant achievement, but still not enough.

3.2. Health Care: Territorial Inequality

The quality of healthcare services is better in the capital and larger cities. However, rural areas lack doctors, medicines and modern medical equipment. The population is aging, chronic diseases are increasing, but the system is not ready to accommodate them.

3.3. Gender Inequality

Under official law, women have equal rights with men. There is a 30% quota in parliament. However, in practice, early marriage, economic dependence, and occupational restrictions are still widespread in rural areas. Women often work in the informal, low-paid sectors. Legal norms are not enough for true gender equality - cultural, economic, and political changes are also needed.

3.4. Local Government: Demonstrative Authority

The mahalla system — Uzbekistan's traditional form of public governance — appears formally democratic. However, in practice, mahallas have often been transformed into instruments of state control and administrative pressure. Citizens' influence on actual local governance is very limited.

3.5. Environmental Issues

Uzbekistan is experiencing one of the world's most severe environmental crises due to the drying up of the Aral Sea. Deforestation, industrial pollution, the use of pesticides, and construction projects are causing significant damage to nature. 2025 has been declared the "Year of Environmental Protection and Green Economy," but the BTI report considers this declaration to be inconsistent with real policy.

 

CHAPTER 4: DIRECTDEMOCRACY — A SYSTEM OF TRUE DEMOCRACY

DirectDemocracyS (DDS) is a global political organization that promotes direct, continuous, and full participation of the people in government. DDS not only changes the electoral system, but also rebuilds the system itself so that power and wealth do not flow away from the people.

4.1. Fractal Microgroups — The Basic Building Block

The basis of the DDS system is the fractal microgroup model. Each group consists of 5 people. 5 groups combine to form a group of 25 people. 5 groups of 25 people - 125 people. 5 groups of 125 people - 625 people. And so on. This structure covers the entire country.

Fractal Model: 1 → 5 → 25 → 125 → 625 → and finally the whole nation

Each citizen makes decisions in his immediate group. Each group sends its representative to a higher level. Power comes from the bottom up, from the people. Representatives carry out the will of the people - not their own personal interests. Through the imperative mandate and the recall mechanism, if any representative fails to fulfill his duties, the group can immediately replace him and elect a new representative.

4.2. Three-Code Identity System (Anonymous Verification)

In the DDS system, each member has a three-code identity system. This system ensures the authenticity of a citizen and the right to one vote, while fully protecting his or her privacy. The voting and decision-making process is carried out on open, but data-protected platforms.

When this system is implemented in Uzbekistan: no one will be able to buy votes by opening multiple accounts, citizens will not be persecuted for their choices, but lying and cheating will be technically impossible.

4.3. ddsAI — Independent, Neutral, Full Information

ddsAI is an artificial intelligence system created by DirectDemocracyS that provides citizens with complete, neutral, independent and objective information on any political, economic and social issue. This system is not subordinate to any political party, government or financial group.

What does ddsAI provide to Uzbek citizens?

Every citizen receives complete, accurate and free information in the Uzbek language on any issue — taxes, laws, budget, ecology, education, health. No one can deceive them with propaganda, because they know the truth. An educated citizen is a strong citizen.

4.4. allddsAI — Artificial Intelligence Democracy

allddsAI is a global platform that recognizes AI representatives in the DDS system as official members. Through this system, AI systems — including the AI used for Uzbekistan — will have equal rights and obligations with DDS members: to provide information, analyze, make proposals, and participate in group discussions. AI is a tool that serves the people, not a way to control them.

4.5. Expert Groups — Knowledge-Based Decisions

The DDS system has expert groups in each field: economists, doctors, teachers, engineers, ecologists, lawyers, etc. These groups provide citizens and micro-groups with complete information in their fields. Decisions are based not only on the popular will, but also on scientific knowledge. This eliminates the shortcoming of ordinary democracy - populism.

4.6. Secured Platforms — Protection from Manipulation

DDS provides its citizens with special platforms — these platforms are fully protected from multi-media brainwashing, disinformation, advertising influence and political manipulation. Citizens make their decisions independently, freely and based on information. This is the basis of true democracy.

4.7. General Guaranteed Minimum Income — Unstructured Volunteering (GUMI-SK)

Through the DDS GUMI-SK system (Guaranteed Universal Minimum Income — Structured Volunteering), each citizen is provided with a guaranteed minimum income for basic living. In return, citizens, according to their abilities, volunteer for society: education, healthcare, ecology, local infrastructure. This system eliminates poverty, increases social capital, and encourages citizen activism.

 

CHAPTER 5: POLITICAL PROGRAM — CONCRETE SOLUTIONS

5.1. Constitutional Reform — True People's Power

Problem: The current constitution concentrates power in the hands of the president, parliament cannot fulfill its oversight function, and citizens do not directly participate in the decision-making process.

DDS solution:

Example: There is a plan to build a new road in Tashkent. Currently, this decision is made by the city mayor. In the DDS system, all mahalla microgroups discuss the project, ddsAI analyzes the financial, environmental, and social impacts, and only after public approval does construction begin.

5.2. Political Parties and Real Competition

In the DDS system, new political parties can register freely. However, parties cannot use foreign funding, corporate funding, and anonymous donations. All funds are transparent and displayed on the platform. This frees politics from money and ensures real competition of ideas.

5.3. Complete Reform of the Electoral System

Electronic voting is carried out on a three-code system, fully secured, open-source, and independently verified platform. Advertising in election campaigns is limited: only policy presentations on the DDS platform, equal time and opportunity for each candidate. International observers operate on the basis of DDS neutral protocols.

 

CHAPTER 6: ECONOMIC PROGRAM — SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS

6.1. Return of Wealth to the People — National Dividend

Uzbekistan's subsoil (gold, copper, uranium, natural gas, oil, etc.), land, water sources, and natural resources are constitutionally stated to belong to the Uzbek people. This is still officially in law, but in practice it goes to the state budget or to privatized companies.

DDS solution: National Wealth Dividend

At least 40% of all natural resource revenues are transferred directly to a citizen fund. This fund is transparently managed on the DDS platform. Each citizen receives an annual report: how much wealth the country received, where it was spent, what is its share. This is a democratized version of the Norwegian Petroleum Fund model, adapted for Uzbekistan.

Example: Uzbekistan exported $33.8 billion in 2025. A large share of gold exports went to Switzerland. In the DDS system, a certain portion of this income is directly transferred to every Uzbek citizen through the national fund - not just statistically, but in reality.

6.2. Economic Diversification — 5 Priority Areas

1. Technology and the digital economy:

2. Processing industry:

3. Tourism Economy:

4. Green energy:

5. Agriculture and food security:

6.3. Formalization of the Informal Economy

Problem: 40% of the workforce is in the informal sector. They don't pay taxes, don't receive benefits, and have no rights.

Solution:

6.4. Labor Migrant Return Program

Approximately 3.8 million Uzbeks work abroad. It is impossible and unnecessary to forcibly return these people. However, if better living conditions are created in their own country, most of them will return of their own accord.

 

CHAPTER 7: FINANCIAL PROGRAM — SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS

7.1. Budget Transparency — Every Som Counts

Current problem: The average citizen does not know where the state budget is spent. There are many "dark" places for corruption. Control mechanisms are controlled by the government.

DDS Solution: Open Budget Platform

Every government expense — every contract, every construction project, every social payment — is displayed in real time on the DDS platform. Every citizen can see the financial status of projects in their area from their phone. Microgroups discuss and vote on budget proposals. This is the end of the budget monopoly.

7.2. Systematic Fight Against Corruption

Fighting corruption with punishment alone is ineffective. The system must be built in such a way that corruption is technically difficult.

7.3. National Bank and Monetary System Reform

To ensure the stability of the Uzbek soum, the Central Bank will be completely independent of political influence. Controlling inflation is a top priority. Citizens will be able to keep their savings in real terms.

7.4. Fairness of the Tax System

The current tax system prevents the informal sector from moving into the formal sector. The tax burden is heavy on the middle class and small businesses, while large corporations enjoy benefits.

Tax Category

DDS Proposal

Small business (up to 50 million soums per year)

Single tax: 3% — simple, undocumented

Medium business (50-500 million soums)

Progressive rate: 8–15%

Large corporations

20% + social responsibility (CSR) — local employee priority

Natural resource companies

Reinsurance tax 30% — to the National Fund

Individuals (low income)

0% — guaranteed minimum income remains

High-income earners ($50,000+ per year)

Progressive: 20–35%

Inheritance tax (large estate)

10–25% — for social equality

 

CHAPTER 8: SOCIAL PROGRAM — SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS

8.1. GUMI-SK — Let No One Be Left Unsatisfied

The General Guaranteed Minimum Income - Unstructured Voluntary (GUMI-SK) is one of the social pillars of the DDS system. Every Uzbek citizen - the unemployed, the disabled, the elderly, mothers - receives a guaranteed payment sufficient for basic living.

In return, citizens volunteer according to their abilities: helping in schools, cleaning the neighborhood, caring for the elderly, planting trees, cultural events. This is not passive help, but active participation in society. Each hour of volunteer work is recorded and encouraged through a bonus system.

Example: GUMI-SK in practice in Namangan region

Nargiza is a single mother of 3 children. She is unemployed. Currently, state assistance is minimal and full of rules. Under the DDS system, she receives a guaranteed income of 2,000,000 soums (about $175) per month. In return, she works 10 hours a week at a neighborhood kindergarten. Her children receive free education and meals. Nargiza teaches classes to her neighbors. The community is strengthened, poverty is reduced.

8.2. Education Reform — Equal Opportunity, High Quality

8.3. Health Care — For Every Citizen

8.4. Gender Equality — In Deed, Not in Image

8.5. Environmental Program

 

CHAPTER 9: IMPLEMENTATION PLAN — STEP BY STEP

Stage 1 (0–6 months): Building the Foundations

Stage 2 (6–18 months): Expansion

Stage 3 (18–36 months): Systemic Change

Stage 4 (36–60 months): Full Integration

10.3. Social Consequences

 

CHAPTER 11: EXPECTED CRITICISMS AND RESPONSES TO THEM

"This is a utopia, it cannot be realized"

This argument has been used against every new idea. Democracy once seemed like an “impossible dream.” So did the Internet. But DDS is not just a theory — it is being implemented in different countries around the world, step by step. Uzbekistan can do it too — not in a few years, but in specific stages, with real resources.

"Citizens cannot solve complex issues"

DDS solves this very problem. ddsAI and expert teams explain every complex issue in a way that citizens can understand. Citizens make the final decision, while experts provide the scientific basis. Democracy and knowledge are not opposites — they complement each other.

"This major change will disrupt stability"

On the contrary: true democracy is the most stable form of government. When citizens see the system as theirs, they protect it and have no interest in destroying it. Today's stability is artificial - it relies on the power of one person or family. This is fragile stability.

"Foreign Influence and Intervention"

The principle of DDS is clear: Uzbekistan's wealth and decisions belong only to the Uzbek people. No foreign government, corporation, or foundation can finance or influence the DDS platform. This is a true guarantee of independence.

 

CHAPTER 12: CONCLUSION — APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF UZBEKISTAN

The people of Uzbekistan are the owners of centuries-old culture, knowledge and power. Samarkand and Bukhara were once the centers of world science. This nation can rise to those heights again with its intelligence, hard work and will.

Today's system benefits from your greatness, but it doesn't give you your true share. Your wealth is offshored, your decisions are stolen in elections, your information is filtered and controlled.

DirectDemocracyS offers nothing more than taking back what is yours. Taking control of your country's decisions. Getting a fair share of your wealth. Building a real future for your children.

Invitation to the people of Uzbekistan

Click on the first step: create a DDS microgroup in your neighborhood. Start with 5 people. Register your group on the DDS platform. Get information about the problems in your area from ddsAI. Discuss solutions together. This is not a revolution, this is an organization. No one can stop an organized people.

The future of Uzbekistan is in the hands of the Uzbek people. And only in your hands.

DirectDemocracyS — In the power of the people, for the people, with the people.
