Office of former Governor Oakvale: Adios, all, and thank you!

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

So, to my own disappointment, I've had to vote against the Pacific ratifying the Intra Regional Mobility Act.

It's a good act in principle, but in practice it puts a lot of unecessary strain on the RG. I've outlined my suggestions below:

Reluctantly, nay, based on the logistics of the inevitable daily state moves.

If it were possible, maybe a proper solution would be to eliminate the states entirely as anything more than window dressing.

In others word, being from Washington wouldn't be any different to being from, say, Oregon. This is, AFAIK, already the case, but the RG is nonetheless obliged to keep track of what state, not what region, someone's registered in.

So yeah, long story short, I'd like to see registration based on region, not state, since states are pretty much irrelevant anyway.


[/two cents]


EDIT: Or, uh, what bgwah said.

The RG himself has said it would not be a problem.

I sincerely hope you will re-consider.

Oh, I didn't see that. That does make a difference, since I was under the (obviously mistaken) impression that poor Fritz had to update every time someone got the idea of moving to Rhode Island or whatever.

I've spitballed a figure of 30 days as a compromise, since, I dunno, maybe future RGs won't be a dedicated.

More to the point though, I don't really see why the RG bothers with state-level registrations, anyway, since AFAIK we don't have anything on the state level in Atlasia.

I wouldn't worry, anyway, there's no way the amendment's going to fail, my vote or not.

EDIT: Franzl beat me to the punch:

I've suggested this before, but why not abolish state registration entirely? I don't see what purpose state based registration serves anymore without the district system.

Well generally it was agreed that maintaining state registration adds flavor and interest, plus we are prepared in case we ever return to a system that depends upon state registration.

I, Oakvale, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of Governor of the Pacific and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of Atlasia, so help me Dave.

Oh dear, my condolences to the Pacific region.












Congrats on your promotion.
