Creation of States

[GeorgeOP]

Now that we have a handfull of cities (thank you Khan ) we should start talking about creating states. I had two ideas in how to do this.

Plan 1: We simply roll up all three captured cities with Auda City and Toot Uncommon(known) to one mega state. Although the land area will far outstrip our other cities, at this time and for the far future these cities are not going to be producing much. We would also need a governor that would want to micromanage five cities, however that need can be decreased by the governor appointing mayors.

Plan 2: Ning-Hsia, Auda City, and Toot Uncommon(known) becomes the first state. Turfan, Old Safari, and Abydos becomes the second state. This will give us two good city states and two states. Abydos is much more developed than the other cities in the state, but the two state are much less wieldly.

Spoiler Plan 2 :

Please comment on whether you think one of these plans sounds good. Or come up with your own plans. Or tell me where to go and say we should stick with all cities.

I think we might run all the Mongolian cities as one state. They will have additional problems of "mixed" populations compared to Toot and Auda.

ONe question that needs to be answered...Can we rearrange the borders of our states after we form them or is this a one shot deal.

I also think that if we form a state we should do it at the before start of the next nomination cycle. By looking at the open nomination thread it appears all the cities will have a Governor. It would be much more participation friendly to shrink the number of offices at the next term instead of potentionally removing new players who just got involved from the offices.

I prefer plan 2, it's a good division geographically and lends itself well to expansion.

Since the 3 new cities don't have governors and we just barely have enough applicants for all the existing positions, I'd say we should go ahead and do it. Only one existing governor would be "at risk" in the upcoming changes, and one of those positions might end up vacant anyway.

I agree with Daveshack and like Plan #2 for the same reasons, not much input here, but just casting my vote.

If we happen to.. ahh.. spread democracy to the rest of Mongolia, what would happen to the states then? Geographically, perhaps Abydos, Auda City, and Old Sarai should form a state, with the border towns Toot, Ning, and Turfan forming a second state. Turfan could join into "New Mongolia" if it occurs.

The CoL does not stop us from recreating states, it says, "A minimum of 3 cities must exist in a proposed state at the time of its creation." It says creation, not always. It kind of implies, imho, that state may change as long as we go through the proposal process of state creating again.
