OK, we need to start this, because the Regions are getting WAY to disorganized.  I am asking that every region pass an amendement requiring at least the governor to be a member of this.  Lt. Governors will be let in as well.

Sorry to burst your bubble but the regons have been in a state of disorganization, to put it lightly, for over a year. The regions are disorganized because a good number of them have no working government.

And this will fix it (at least some).

What's the harm in trying?  And the fact that our President is a pessimist when it comes to Regional gov't doesn't comfort me as a Governor. Tongue

When I was Governor of the Northeast in 2005 I tried to this unsuccessfully. Nevertheless when I become Governor again soon I will join.

The way I see it, you would use your combined powers to solve crimes and fight evil-doers.

I believe my opinion on regions is rather clear cut. I have mostly been against federalism and regional government in Atlasia because it hampers the amount that the actual working government, the federal government, can do. With the exception of the Pacific and the Midwest, to an extent, the regions don't do anything and with a population as small as ours federalism really isn't needed.

I'm still upset over a certain GM's ridiculous and disastrous handling of the New Mexico situation. While it was still kind of fun, I think we could've done a lot more with it had you-know-who not ruined it. Oh well!

The legislature has worked well for the Pacific. Perhaps other regions should try it.

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Though I'm now inclined to think that there was something inherently ridiculous and disastrous in having a GM in the first place.

You don't deserve comfort. You deserve to be thrown out of office.

A little known fact is that the people of the Mideast actually voted for a legislature (of sorts). We never actually got it as my successors never got round to certifying the results of that round of referenda (neither did I o/c, but then a close relative of mine was very close to dying at the time...)

I suspect it's far too late now though.

I will join this organization, as the regional governments do need fixing so federalism can be put into place.

Alright - I'll put this just with the September ballot, because I don't want to flood the voters with weekly ballots, and overlapping ballots will just get crazy.

But until then, we can just start whenever - the only reason I want amendments is so that we have universal participation in the future.

Set some guidlines to how we as governors run things when we have to work with each other - so set rules for redistricting.  Make sure governors know of legislature that could be passed on to us for voting on - amendments.  Stuff like that.

In other words, nothing. There is no need for another quango.

Just a little update - there is currently an Amendment being voted on by the people to change the SotU Adress.

I think Pacific is the only one we're waiting on.
