Constitutional question re: palace moving

[Eklektikos]

Looking at the polls so far and assuming that we're still following Shaitan's suggestion as to how to allocate the provinces, I get the feeling I'm going to end up as the "elected" (in the G.W. Bush sense of the word ) governor of at least part of Egypt. There's also talk of possibly moving the palace to Egypt at some point in the future. This is of interest to me since this would logically make Egypt the capital province of which the domestic leader is the constitutional governor. I think it would be wise to set out how the transfer of administration is to be handled before it becomes a burning issue. For example: should the two governors simply swap provinces with the displaced governor taking over the old capital province? should they continue as before until governor re-election time? or should the displaced governor be flung out on his ear and an election be held for the old capital province? IMO this ought to go into the constitution.

Good thinking. See, I told you that you would be a good Governor. All three of you will make good Governors. Keep up the good work.

Yea, i wouldn't like to be 'flung out'.

Thanks for the vote of confidence
I rather like this current election: 3 candidates, 3 posts, everyone a winner!

And by the way, that's not Egypt. That's Province #4. Yet to be named...

I think the best option would be for both officials to remain governing their respective provinces. The Domestic Leader is the leader of the Capital province. You could make an argument that he is elected to govern that province in addition to his Cabinet duties. The Provincial Governor is definitely elected to govern that specific province. When the next elections come up it will all sort itself out.

Never mind, I understand now. Ignore this.

Best solution: Don't move the palace!

where is the problem? the dom-leader gets the new capital province and the governor of the province gets the former captial province (a province swap)
