The Imperial Dominion of the South's Legislature

[Yelnoc]

Any movement to degrade the IDS to the south shall  recieve a resound no from muahahahaha me.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I do think that Lord of Darkness is not that great of a title. How about Viceroy?

How about Lieutenant Governor? That law JBrase signed was a mistake, now it's time to restore the IDS to the SE...

Since there's nothing else to do, I think we should return the SE to it's roots, with standard titles of "Lieutenant Governor" instead of "Lork of Darkness," etc. Would anyone be in favor/willing to sponsor/write such a bill?

Well, I would probably support it for one simple reason - I can't actually bloody remember any of the titles.

As for writing it, I might do it if nobody else wants to.

That would be appreciated.

     Try to convince all three Legislators of that.

I will. The names, with all respect, make our region sound silly and not serious. There is no such thing as an Emperor in a Republic, and I don't think there's ever been a Lord of Darkness is any government in the history of civilization (or at least I hope not).

There is now.

Well, let's fix that mistake.

I would be open to changing Lord of Darkness to something more managable.  I like Emperor PiT's suggestion of Viceroy.  And, for Svensson's benefit:

Southeast - Imperial Dominion of the South
Governor - Emperor
Lieutenant Governor - Lord of Darkness
Speaker of the House - Imperial Speaker
Assemblyman - Darth

[-]

Here's what I think-

SE- Southeast
Governor- Governor
Lt. Governor- Lt. Governor/Assembly President
Speaker- Assembly Speaker or Legislative Assembly Speaker* or Speaker
Assemblyman- Assemblyman or MLA (Member of Legislative Assembly)*

* if name changed from Assembly to Legislative Assembly.

I mean, what's the point in having silly names for everything that make our region sound like some Star Wars fan club?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I wholeheartedly endorse KS21's plan to return the South to its roots.

I still don't like it. If we were to have anything other than your standard set of names (Gov., Lt. Gov., Speaker, etc.), at least make it sound less... ...dark.

What do you suggest?  And what happened to our third legislator?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I took his place.

Miles?

College exam week. He's been rather busy. I believe he had his final exam today, so we should be hearing more from him shortly.

I took his place.

Unconstitutional.

     To be honest, I like the individuality that the evil titles give the region. Also, I can't speak for anyone else, but another reason I helped pass it was to one-up the loonies in the Midwest.

If it's individuality we're looking for, can anyone come up with alternative titles that sound reasonable?

And why try to one-up loons in the looniness category???

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I suppose I just like these titles.

There's those among us who don't.

At this point, I'd like to start using the SE/DS titles again and get a reasonable set of office names.

And if we want to have something other than your standard names (Gov, AG, etc.), we could at least make it sound less teenager-that's-spent-too-much-time-playing-wierd,-dark-videogames-ish.

As far as I can see, Lord of Darkness is the only kinda weird one and I am open to changing that.  I don't see what is "loony" about Emperor, Imperial Speaker, and the rest.

Emperor and Imperial are anti-Democratic titles, although I don't completely oppose them.

Lord of Darkness is just plain nutty.

Maybe a "You pick" bill would be good, allowing the SE/DS/IDS to all be valid along with Gov./Emperor etc.

However, Lord of Darkness has to go. Period.

Also, attached to this new bill we could transfer the position of Registar to me, as it appears we don't know who's in charge of that job right now.

I hate to be the ignorant sounding one, but what exactly is the function of the Registrar in Atlasia?  And how about we put the decision on titles to the people?  Let's hold a referendum.  Here is what I was thinking.  Of course the specific titles that would appear on the ballot are subject to change as decided by this legislative body.  Thoughts?
