Government
- 8 Cabinet Members
- Each cabinet member heads a department
- Departments include President, Information Officer, Military Leader, Expansion Leader, Science Leader, Trade Leader, City Planner Leader, and Diplomacy Leader.
- The Department head's duties are to post polls and get users input. With the poll results and input they give info to the President, who plays them out in the game.
- Below the department heads are the deputy leaders. They will make decisions in the absent of the leader. The Information Officer is the Vice President and takes over President's responsibilities if he/she is absent.
- The Department Head's have the right to break ties or make minor decisions on their own. In case of forum outage or low partication they would be allowed to make all decision in their related area.
- The President is the Department Head of the Department Head's and has privilages there of. But CAN NOT overturn decisions made by the Department Head's but can tie break, and make minor decisions, and decisions with no input (but these should be rare.)
- There can be civilian agencies/groups that form to do a certian task. Example would be history tracking group, activists against pollution, or activists against War against a neghiboor.
Game Dynamics:
- One day = one turn in the game.
- 8 cabinet members and 42 regular members.
- Polls and decussions would be posted all day, and at night the President would make the moves.
- The saved game and screen shots can be uploaded for review.
- After turn one the President MUST report to the forum WITH a screenshot. Then the polls begin for the Expansion, City Planning, and Science Department. Once these first decisions are made, the President may procede playing multiple turns until another decision must be made. In which he reports to the forum. This can only continue for the first 50 turns MAXIMUM! And can end earlier at the Presidents descression.
- No ONE is allowed to download and play out a saved game. You may download it to review the current situation. But you must not play it. Penality is Death, by fierce Shunning.
Elections:
- Terms last 30 turns
- Two terms maximum in a row at one position. But can be elected for other positions at end of two terms. Also can get former position once out of it for a term.
- President can only be elected from remaining cabinet members. Other department heads are elected from the general players. Runner-ups for department heads automatically become deputy leaders for that area, for the term.
- On turn 24 of the term, nominations begin. On turn 29 the information officer would post polls for all positions of nominated members. On turn 31 a winner is declared, and a new term begins.
Citizens:
- Every citizen belongs to a city of the nation, and can move to other cities when they please. This will be updated on a city list thread.
Departments and their duties.
President: Is responsible for actually playing the game. Also gathers info from other Department Heads on how the game is to be played. Breaks ties and makes decisions that haven't been made by department heads.
Information Officer: Responsible for handling elections and record keeping on the members, polls, etc... Also Vice President, and takes over in event that President is missing.
Military Leader: Host polls on military actions, defence, and (If war has been declared) war time actions. Reports military decisions to the President.
Science Leader: Host polls about science rates, and technology goals. Both through research, espionage, and conquering!
Trade Leader: Host polls about tax rate. Trade within Cities, and with foregin powers.
City Planner Leader: Hosts polls on what cities should build what. And how workers should be distrubuted.
Expansion Leader: Host polls about exploration, and city expansion. Picking best city places, roads and rails that fall outside City Borders (These are responibility of City Planners)
Diplomacy Leader: Host polls about wars, alliances, trades of tech, gold etc....to other nations. And also Government Types.
Regular Players: Their responsibilites are to vote in polls posed by leaders, as well as discuss possible alternatives.
It's also the responsibility of the leaders to plan ahead. Post polls on possible outcomes of war or City Capture, so that the president doesn't have to make all the decissions.
Impeachment:
It may become evident that the department heads or President aren't making decisions based on what is being voted on. Anyone can call a hearing, and pose evidence against one of the eight cabinet menbers. Then they get to defend themselves. Then a vote. While an Impeachment trial is ongoing the deputy leader takes over for the leader in question. Hopefully these situations will be few and far between....but it's best to have established protocals incase it happens.
Chain of Command:
This is basically the rank of the cabinet members in case of a catastrohpic event that kills off several members (figurativeily...not literialy.

)
President
Information Officer (Vice President)
Diplomacy Leader
Military Leader
City Planner Leader
Expansion Leader
Trade Leader
Science Leader
(This doesn't rank the members in anyway.....everyone on the cabinet are the same "rank", but incase of accident this chain must be established to prevent power strugles. Like in the US system. President, Vice President, Speaker of the House, etc...)
