Can you change your name and/or party at any time?

Can you change your name and/or party at any time?

Name, no. Party, yes. The name that counts for your registration is your username (the one you can't change in Atlas settings) so that you can always be identified by that constant. For example, my name is Rep.-elect wxtransit, but my username is wxtransit, and that's what I'm listed under on the census. Whatever you write your name as in the registration doesn't really matter, that's just to help the election secretary.

NOTES
*The Constitution of Fremont requires fresh elections for first minister and parliament be held at least once every three months, with the option for early elections at the motion either of the first minister or the parliament. All dates for elections to these offices are therefore subject to change.

Could you attach the region name to things like "Senator (Class 2)" or "Governor"?

EDIT: Just saw the stars. I am a dumbass.

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

Question: Why are all the Southern elections a week or two before the rest of the nation's elections? Is that some quirky Southern law or is it just one of those mistakes that we never got around to fixing?

Quirky Southern law from the regional committee back in '16.

Thanks. I think I've found my next legislative issue after a regional renaming

Boo.
The quirks of the South must be preserved!

I'd actually advocate keeping it this way because the South IRL seems to love off-year elections (KY, LA, MS, VA).

This needs...updates. Especially the section about the parties (which I think is one of the reasons people keep trying to register as 'Citizens' instead of 'Alliance".

Agreed.

Agreed.

The party list has been updated (I couldn't find a succinct mission statement for PUP, so y'all will have to make do with a placeholder text until someone in the party feels like writing a better description.)

This needs... more updates.

Might as well go ahead and update the PUP logo:

As I've said many times before, red pandas and a proudly difficult disposition aren't the same thing as being happy.

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

This actually looks really cool, reminds me of the Nation Sims (Qpawn, SPC, Nations) etc and various Government simulators I use to play back in the 2000's. If anyone remembers those, lol.

A few questions,

1. Do I need to register a face claim? And if so, where?
2. I've read that I'm allowed to introduce legislation as a citizen in my state, - does this include the right to debate it? I'm assuming it doesn't include the right to vote on it, without actually holding office.
3. What are some things I can do to start getting involved? (;

[Sirius_]

1. No, most people either just pick someone as they wish or forego a persona entirely. I would just suggest making sure you don't pick somebody that is currently being used by an active player.
2. Yes
3. As you said you can introduce legislation and engage in policy discussion as a citizen, as well as exercising your right to vote in elections. You can also run for office and carry out the duties of said office if elected. I would say that running for your regional legislature is a good place to start, but not everyone does this. You can ask other established players for info on this. If you decide to run for something I hope you discuss it with me and other PUP leaders. You can also ask us about things you can be involved in within the party.

Given the turnover of the last month, this thread could use some updating!

It would seem that this thread is being replaced. RIP.
