Aye.

Might be worth mentioning that the Glorious Chairman is DoS these days. :-/ But I'll crack open a bottle of Leninade and drink to the PRL anyways. 🧴😄

Well, theoretically, it would attract players from both alignments and provide our citizens with more options.

Well, perhaps the region can have two separate militaries? One raider and one defender; with membership being either one or the other, but never both. That way there would be no point in trying to change the region's alignment because it would have both operating completely independent of one...

Don't let the lack of rationality deter you. If the only defense of the current system is that the PM would have less power, then clearly the current system's purpose is not to benefit the region.

I'd like to hear how Lazarus benefits from the current system. Because I'm not seeing it have a positive effect on the region. Elected Ministers has the potential to improve Lazarus. If it doesn't work, we can always revert to the current system.

True. The doomsaying is quite irrational. The fact of the matter is, the system isn't working right now. It is detrimental to Lazarus' prosperity. So why defend a system that has proven to be ineffective? What value does it have? What good does it do? What is the point of it if not to simply be...

Well Chanku, what's the current system doing for Lazarus? Is it bringing activity? Is it making Lazarus appealing to potential new citizens?

The current system, with regards to Ministers, weakens the region. It reduces activity, restricts individual growth among citizens, and discourages participation in the government. The current system isn't working. A change is necessary in order for the region to prosper. EDIT: You may find it...

Part of the reason Lazarus in its current funk is because there are so few opportunities for growth. With the exception of Balder, all the other GCRs have ample opportunities for growth via more democracy. Appointed executives breed stagnancy, rob the region of future leaders, and rob the region...

Having to convince the citizens that you have something good lined up for your term, by outlining your plans in your campaign gives a good idea of what your term might look like, allows you to get outside input about your plans so you can improve on them before implementing them, and lets the...

I think one month terms are too short. Instead, perhaps there could be a monthly review (certainly fits the region's theme) in which both the government and the citizens offer separate reviews on their performances. From there we could proceed anyway we feel is appropriate.

Just wanna say this seems like an entirely positive addition. Maybe it's just me, but it seems immensely inconvenient for the entire executive to have to shut down every time a PM resigns or goes through their term. Gotta keep the wheels turning.

Have you been part of a Culture Ministry in another region? If so, what area did you like most? Yes. Can't say I liked any one part of it more than the other parts. Are you interested in regional role-playing? (Yes/No) Yes Are you good at making graphics? Yes. Do you like writing? Yes...

Well, as a start, and what seems the most obvious, is that we need cabinet members who are more active, can commit the time required to get this region out of its inactive state and are more willing to put in the work when things slow to a crawl. One shouldn't have to do all the work themselves...

I'm surprised to say this, but Constie makes a valid point.

Is it though? I mean there's no indication of that in the image.

Well, the job of a leader is to bust his cabinet's butts when they're slacking off. Put forth their own ideas and work with them to get things done. If you can't keep cabinet members active, then you need to find replacements. Seems to me that you didn't. And sometimes you just gotta do all the...

Abstain.
