Participate in polls on buildqueues
Name units produced in Priapos

Strong objections and concerns about these two (decisions impacting game are within the purview of all citizens, Defense Minister controls military units, President controls works).

Otherwise, great idea, Provo! Good luck with it!

[MOTH]

I'm only a quiet citizen, but I plan to move to Priapos until it comes time to tame some foriegn cities. Count me as a citizen for term 2 at least.

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

I second Ravens complaint, but I like this idea. It's really clever (might have to steal it for Styx, but then again all of my good stories are ones I write)

Oh, I'd like to propose a deal. As you know, Styx is famous for letting people "Have it their way." We can do that as we own the cows. I suggest we trade Beef for Wine and Gold (maybe golden bottles of wine?). This way the people of Priapos can have it their way and the people of Styx can get even drunker.

(Authors note: look for the upcoming Styx story where I describe the nations own Sodom and Gomorah! Coming to a pillar of salt near you soon!)

 

[Provolution]

Thanks for the good inputs and favorable responses, MOTH, SAAM and Ravensfire.

MOTH, welcome as citizen two in Priapos.

I will still draft a proposal for empowering the citizens, as Governors DO control the buidqueues, it is only fair that future elections for a city would include only registered citizens. So I think of developing a City Code for Priaposians, and a City Code for Non-Priaposian Fanatakosians, and a Foreign City Code on how to handle foreign workers. Priapos would possibly trade away foreign workers or pop-rush them, as Priapos want to keep its population purebred.

Ditto.

Which means, no foreign workers added, no political instability wanted.

 

[DaveShack]

It is a good thing to be encouraging local government participation, however I am very worried about the implication that Priapos is not subject to national oversight and referendum. For example, if there is a national vote to not build a certain wonder and a city vote to build it, the city vote cannot override the national vote.

Also you cannot restrict the ability of people to come and go as they please. A citizen may join this city and leave it whenever he or she wants, it may not be restricted to the beginning of a term.

 

[Provolution]

Citizenship is a privilege, not a right. In Ancient times, people even had to ask city authorities to physcially leave the place. Ancient Greek democracy was that way. And we need term-locked citizenship for the structure we put in place, with reliable, not fluctating citizens. if some Fanatakosians does not like the City Code, they got a full 4 other, soon 11 other cities to choose from.

A reminder from the Constitution:

All Civfanatics Forum users who register in the Citizen Registry are citizens of our country, and members of the Assembly. Citizens have the right to assemble, the right to free movement, the right to free speech, the right to a fair trial, the right to representation, the right to request an investigation into possible violations of law and the right to vote. Political parties are not permitted.

You're the Governor - you've got a lot of leeway in running the city. Except for a few things, your ideas are great and I'm looking forward to them. Some of those ideas though go beyond your power as Governor.

Priapos can decide exactly what buildqueue it wants, but the construction of wonders.
Governors have by constitution the full control over buildqueues. I vest that control into the hands of the Priaposians.

 

[admiral-bell]

sign me up. and can I be vice-goveroner

 

[Ginger_Ale]

Priapos can decide exactly what buildqueue it wants, but the construction of wonders.
Governors have by constitution the full control over buildqueues. I vest that control into the hands of the Priaposians.

You also have to follow the will of the people. If the will of the people do not want Priaposians' proposed build queues, well, then it doesn't stand.

 

[Strider]

If I come to Priapos, what will be the benefits to me?

 

[GenMarshall]

If I come to Priapos, what will be the benefits to me?

Same here. I wish to know before I comit.

 

[Provolution]

I will seek to create a city law, where the city buildqueues are dictated by the Priaposians citizens, so we can get some challenge to the demogame. Wonders should still be in the national purview, but the city buildqueues should be subject to citizenship.

 

[Ginger_Ale]

So if I am not a citizen of Priapos, I cannot vote/discuss to change the build queues??

 

[GenMarshall]

Sounds good. I am interested, I would like to earn citizenship.

 

[Provolution]

Everyone can discuss Priapos buildqueues, but my vision with 5 city challenge was to get more independent governors, and it would be much more fun to make cities more autonomou entities.
