Well, personally I think that if the councilors could have voted in the universal legislature too, things could also have worked fine. The problem is that the "universal" legislature actually consists in a mere 3 people.
I have a feeling this would not have worked out as the legislators would still have moved on to other positions later on, leading to a deficit in active citizens. A good amount of our active citizens were already office-holders on the Federal level, while many other citizens rarely visit Atlasia anymore. Of course, I'm hoping the recent moves to the Pacific will help overcome this issue, it does not excuse that fact that we are still facing a deficit in membership.
That being said, I have introduced a new bills that will keep the Council intact but inactive if the appropriate amount of candidates do not declare. The Pacific will retain the People's Assembly and operate out of that until the Council is once again viable. The bill also allows Councilors to vote in the Assembly, and we will see how that works out when the time comes.
