Another point: do we allow voters to select "None of these candidates" for regional elections?  Is that something we want to consider adding?

I'd leave that up to the legislature to decide.  The Northeast didn't allow it in later years, IIRC.

Delegates have 24 hours to nominate a city to serve as the seat of government for this Region. After the 24 hours have elapsed, we will hold a 24 hour STV vote to determine the capital.

I nominate Boston, Massachusetts.

I strongly recommend a more centralized location for the regional capital than Boston or New York. Detroit would be an excellent choice because of its location and having the regional capital would do wonders for the city's struggling economy.

I'd recommend basically any city that's not NYC.  It's already housed a region's capital before, and as I recall some people (myself included) were pushing for a more appropriate capital location that wasn't already a hotbed for the financial and entertainment industries.  On principle, I'd personally favor a capital closer to the former Mideastern states because the Northern region shouldn't be seen as merely an extension of the former Northeast.

New York City would be great for a capital. It would help the prestige of our capital and encourage growth in an area many people live in. Boston, meanwhile, has lots of room for more development and is probably the one which will be the best in ten years economically if we pick it.

Detroit, frankly, needs to have a huge part of the city demolished and rebuilt.

It already has.  Time to start fresh.
