Should we create a state?

This is a citizen initiative to create states in our country. It is bulging right now with the inclusion of all those Mongolians, and many believe now is the time to create states. Here are the proposed plans:

Plan 1. Auda City, Toot Uncommon(known), Ning-Hsin, Turfan, Old Safari all become one state.

Plan 2. Auda City, Toot Uncommon(known), and Ning-Hsin become one state. Abydos, Turfan, and Old Safari become a seperate state.

Plan 3. Ning-Hsin, Turfan, and Old Safari become a state.

Plan 4. Do not create any states.

Plan 5. Other state idea. Please give us your idea.

Abstain.

Discussion is located here.

Plan 2.
nice neat geographically;

Lets wait until we'll capture all the mongol cities and then (when our borders are going to be stable for a long period of time) we can create stats.

Those other two Mongolian cities are more developed. We can decide how to incorporate them when we take them. Right now we are short on Governors and creating States will help aleviate that problem.

Well maybe You're right.

They would fit well with Abydos...due to development.

Also, let's not count our eggs yet. We'll worry about where to put them after they are "convinced" to join us.

Any chance we could get a screenshot posted so we could see what the proposed states would look like?

It seems I can't vote, but I'd like to jump on the plan 2 bandwagon.

You need to join the democracy game user group. See the the citizen registry thread, there is a link at the bottom of the first post.

Sweetacshon, you voted for other, what's your plan?

Yeah, sorry, I forgot to post it. Actually, it wasn't a high priority due to the support for plan 2, but if you want my two cents...

I posted in the discussion thread, though not very well, and in fact, I change my mind slightly. Basically:

State 1: Abydos and Auda City
Abydos and Auda are the only two that may actually produce something in the near future.

State 2: The Jungle Frontier -- Old Sarai, Toot Uncommon, Ning, and Turfan
the cities have the same problems (Ning is a little different), and require similar work plans, ie clearing the Jungle and promoting commerce, as well as a defensive line.

Frankly, I think Old Sarai fits better geographically into State 1, however I believe that the governorship of the Frontier State will be more efficient if he can control the resources as he sees fit.

Through a clerical error, it appears this poll did not have an ending date set.

The time has long passed that it should have ended. I declare this poll officially over, with the following results.

Plan 2 wins with 16 votes
Plan 4, 5, and abstain had one vote each.

Two states will be created:

State 1 = Abydos, Turfan, and Old Safari
State 2 = Auda City, Toot Uncommon, and Ning-Hsin (spelling?)

If the existing governors (if any) of each city in the newly created states come to an agreement among themselves who shall remain governor, the non-retained governors should resign their posts and state that they agree with the remaining governor taking control of the state. If there is a dispute over who stays, the President (myself) will mediate and if necessary arbitrate under the "resolving differences between leaders" role in the CoL. That procedure may include using an initiative to allow citizen choice.

Sorry for the delay in the Governor's Council. We will have the states created hopefully before the next turnchat. Since there are only two governors, we just have to decide who gets what state.
