OOC - The Senate would need to approve it. As well, there is very little public appetite for this sort of change, many people feel the national government is "big enough as it is"

(OOC)

I'll take St. George's. I'll be Duke Bacon: Scottish, United Protestant (one of the Presbyterians therein, if it matters) and a resident of Montague.

Questions: What do the colors mean on the religion map? And how exactly is the Catholic Church's hierarchy set up, considering we have no contact with Rome?

Each Parish has a bishop. There is as of yet no head-bishop for the island, though one has been proposed.

Some debate (which I'll dispense with) shows that many in the Senate do not like this idea, especially those in parishes that will not see any benefit from this, or those who feel that this would put too many people into an already (literally) overcrowded assembly (room)

Indeed, my fellow Senators, I see no reason to divide existing lots.

Noble Duke, I notice that the town of Montague is underrepresented as well. Perhaps this amended version of the legislation will meet with your satisfaction?

As to the legitimate concerns as to the overcrowding of our Assembly Hall, I think it fitting that proper facilities be constructed.

OOC: This benefits 10 of the 14 parishes.

Senators are still not convinced. Some are proposing fixing this by disenfranchising certain lots, others suggest that lots could be combined and get a single representative. Bedford's own assemblymen (while supporting the official stance of the parish) are beginning to express concerns as their chats with their own citizens (even those in the "under-represented" lots) are showing that this idea is unpopular at this time.

OOC: I can see this is a losing battle, but I'll still have one more trick up my sleeve. I fear this one will be as futile as the others, however.

IC: Very well, gentlemen, I shall withdraw my previous piece of legislation. However, since it is taking so incredibly long for the Senate Staff to give us the report on the costs for the energy proposal, I have had enough time to draft yet another proposal.

Senators proposed this proposal be put away for a little while and returned to.

Senate staff respond they are still compiling the budget and that info on the cost of a national electricity grid will come after this. Other Senators wish to begin discussion on if such a grid is needed, desired, and/or how it would be implemented.

2nd Senator for Richmond proposes a nationwide poll be taken to gauge the issues most important to the public.

I believe that there are definite benefits to having a national electricity grid, but those benefits must be weighed against the costs. The potential costs in monetary value, magic room requests, and sheer space could outweigh any benefits such a grid would provide. I am officially undecided on this issue until the senate staff give their report.

I also second the proposal by the Senator from Richmond.

CoS (Chief of Staff) for the Department of Electricity:

The wires and polls would be run along the rail grid and roads. Not a single tree would have to be chopped down, or, a single square metre of farmland occupied, in order to fit in the transmission lines. Generating stations would either need to be placed in towns, or, would require the chopping down of perhaps a dozen trees each.

That sounds good so far. Any word on the other costs?

The 2nd Senator from Egmont presents the following: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fykeQNVadYk which he has built. He suggests that wood powered steam generators can be central in the new grid.

That looks promising, Senator. It is bound to reduce the some of the other costs as well, since it runs on wood. How many of those generators would be needed, and what would they cost us in terms of materials?

Speaker - Senators, we have an urgent issue

BREAKING NEWS

Reports are coming in from North Parish, that the Prince County "Magic Room" has disappeared, and "drag marks" have been spotted heading towards the southern shore of Prince Royalty.

Currently present are 2 senators from each Parish, except, only 1 from each St. Andrew and St. John, and NO senators from either Richmond or Egmont.

Communiqués to both parishes have not been responded to. All assemblymembers from both parishes are also home.

CoS for the department of national security has provided a map of two possible routes that magic room has taken:



CoS for the department for the magic rooms has suggested the Senate quickly vote to "turn off" said box, as we no longer know who has it, and North Parish is due to make use of it next.

Senators for North Parish are enraged.

Statement from the Chancellor
"The disappearance of the Prince County Magic Room is a serious problem. The national government should do everything in its power to investigate this matter and, if possible, return the room to its rightful location. In the meantime, I suggest that requests by Prince County Parishes be directed to the national government, which should forward those requests to the National Magic Room."

I propose the following:

1.) The Prince County Magic Room shall be turned off immediately.
2.) Military personnel for the national government shall be immediately assigned to guard the magic boxes for Kings and Queens Counties, as well as the one for the national government.
3.) The Department of National Security shall continue their investigation of the disappearance of the Magic Room, focusing their initial efforts on the areas around Tyne Valley and Sherbrooke.
4.) That any requests made by Prince County Parishes shall be directed to the national government, which will forward those requests to the National Magic Room.

Senators generally agree with this and have put it up for a vote.

(I'll give 24 hours for other players to vote on this crisis! Note that in game-time only a few minutes, perhaps an hour, has passed since the news was received)
