Fairness based on chance. This game seems fair because each section has an equal chance of landing on. Both winning and losing outcomes are clearly defined.

Using a random number generator gives every citizen an equal chance of being selected, making it a fair process. Flipping a coin gives each person a 50% chance, making it a fair way to decide.
