A Summit For Reform

<< < (2/3) > >>

Norgeras:
Generally i think we need to Slim the Government down from a Sort-of-RP in itself to a functional Administration. We don't need to call it "Monarchy" or "Democracy" or whatever we fancy. Leave that Part for the actual RP.

Basically trim down legislation from Novel-Length to the Essentials that are really needed. (like we need the emergency plan, as we all have seen this year)

What we don't need is things like the whole Ordeal about the WAD for Example. If we basically have no one really caring, we don't need to legislate it.

And sincerely don't tell me anyone of the active ppl cares about it at this point. I have been WAD long enough to know you don't.



For the overall Style of Government - i think we need active Admins ensuring People don't rip each other new holes over tiny disputes.

Basically have some technically Admin Roles, like the one holding the Founder Accounts, keeping Discord working and so on, and maybe one or two Elected Roles from the RA (maybe rename that too).

I am not too much down in the technicality of how the exactl positions would look like. But my overall line of thought is basically this:

- less Roleplay-inside-a Roleplay and more functionality.
- less Legislature for arts of Nationstates we don't even Participate in actively
- Administration formed by function and necessity as overall goal.

Pandect:
I'm all for trimming down Government. Essentially they should only be involved in infrastructure and defence.

Leave me alone. Don't take my stuff. Don't be a jerk. Those're the 3 rules.

I think some people here have made some pretty solid points.

I know that I myself am focused almost solely on the roleplay side of this region, and to be honest I think that is our real strength. As for the rest of it really we only need a government in so far as there are a number of key functions that require oversight to ensure the region keeps going.

I've been in other regions before where governments are far more active, however that's because the main focus of the roleplay in those regions was RPing a government. Given that the amount that can actually be done or legislated for in a cyberspace forum this inevitably led to active government devolving into tribalistic wars of personalities over imaginary power that had a very real life result of tearing regions apart.

Really I would be happy to see a solid government of only those roles or functions necessary for the health of the region. This is best achieved by a head authority figure who is known to be stable and active appointing ministers that they judge are able to carry out their task well. Perhaps the best thing would be to have a head of state elected to run the region on a long term of 4-6 months at a time, or perhaps have an indefinite term with some recall mechanism to trigger an election if enough people decide they want a change.

Sorry if that comes across as a mere stream of consciousness. I'm sure there are myriad issues with everything I just said/suggested.

KrisNord:
Personally I think anyone with any interest has probably given the matter their opinion. I think what is needed now is a concrete proposal that we can start picking over.
