Alright, so I'd like to open debate on a federeal constitutional convention (since I'm now pretty sure that's what Hashemite was referring to).  Citizens, supporters, opponents, make your arguments to me.

I'm leaning towards supporting the convention. I think Xahar is right. The whole purpose of this game is to encourage active participation and make it fun. How do we do that? By going through a process that makes people interested in Atlasia. I certainly think reforming certain parts of the government would provide a healthy boost to the whole thing.

And it would provide us with a topic to actually discuss and debate.

I'd like to see at least 2 major things that people want changed in the Constitution before I would decide to vote AYE.

The Mideast does not run smoothly, lol.

But I'm not sure reducing the number of regions would make regional governments more efficient. And still...just because our state government doesn't work, doesn't mean we should force others to integrate.

Still, these things could be discussed properly in a constitutional convention...and if that's the will of the people, than so be it.

The elections ran smoothly enough; my only mistake was forgetting to delete one sentence from the Constitution.

But at least we might have competitive elections instead of a situation where 11 out of 17 registered voters hold office of some kind.

Really? I seem to recall they used the wrong voting system.

Sure, and all these matters could be debated. I think reducing the regions would make things more competititive, and that would lead to more competent leadership.

That's basically why I think the convention is a pretty good idea. Gives everyone a chance to talk about these issues.

I'm still not convinced that a CC would be good for us.  If a vote was held today, I'd be voting against it.

I would like some concrete ideas though....would be kind of helpful, exactly what people have in mind in a constitutional convention.
