Good. Now the number is settled.

I offer the following amendment:

I'm okay with South America, I suppose, but I'd rather Sudamerica, and I'd like to put it to a vote (because democracy).

You wouldn't say the same thing if the informal consensus had agreed "Sudamerica" was best, now would you? I won't be upset if "South America" is the name, as long as it comes after reasonable debate and a vote. It's the same logic of why it's incorrect to say that the Scottish Independence Referendum "failed," when actually, it succeeded: they voted, and went with what the majority thought was best.

I would like to see a more comprehensive electoral law covering voter rolls as well as the selection of (at least an interim) head of state.

Can we grab some big beast from Atlasia to serve as head of state? President Duke?

I agree with Xahar. Unless we figure out a few more things, it's too early to call an election.

My suggestion is a Head of State (a President?) elected by the Parliament with a 2/3 majority who serves a single consecutive term of 3 months. That way, you could have interesting dilemmas and the like if the Parliament failed to elect the President on time (such as an automatic dissolution procedure?)

Not an MP (unfortunately), but I just wanted to ask if the only option for dissolution is for the Parliament to pass a motion to that effect?  Will we be including the right of the PM to call a snap election at his own choosing?

Is this better?

A new parliament could easily amend it, and I'm pretty sure we could elect a figure like Hashemite (as an example; I have no idea if he's interested) President with a 2/3 majority in the current Parliament.

I'd advise amending the bill so that it's clear that a prospective prime minister should be able to command the confidence of the house.
