Mock Constitutional Convention

[Free Palestine]

I had an idea for a game.  A mock Constitutional Convention, either for a fictional country, the United States, or some other.  It could be modern (I have a scenario in mind) or historical (Philadelphia Convention).  We each act as a representative of a state (or, some other governmental body), and we propose and debate things.

Anybody interested?

Do you want some new county made up for this game?

A made-up country would be okay, although it wouldn't be my preference.

The modern scenario I had in mind is based off a show I watched on the "History" Channel.  Washington, D.C. is nuked in a terrorist attack, destroying all three branches of government.  In response, the Joint Chiefs of Staff appoints an acting president, and martial law is declared.  Most are perfectly fine with this, but some people are outraged.

A few states send delegates to a convention, with the intended purpose of re-organizing the U.S. government, challenging the legitimacy of the provisional one that has risen after the tragedy.

I'm in and here's my idea for a fictional nation.

I've been just randomly thinking and came up with the nation of "Tranquilita", a fairly sized Pacific Island nation that after gaining independence from Britain in the 1900's, went through a short, ten year monarchy that produced only two rulers. After in the late 1910's and 1920's, a democracy was solidified and a parliament called the "Plebian Assembly" and another higher house called the "Senate" established. All of this changed as the fragile import-export economy collapsed with the whole "Great Depression" splashing out all over the world. With this done, the National Pride Party took shape and came to power during the 1930's and ruled with an iron fist, persecuting the indigenous people and the significant Asian and Japanese culture on the western coast.

When World War 2 came around, Tranquilita was thrust into war as the Japanese Empire outstended it's grasp over the Pacific but with Tranquilita being more eastern, it was protected by a "Curtain of the United States". After the allied victory in WW2, the National Pride Party came under more scrutiny as they were condemned at home and internationally. When in the early 1950's, a popular coup by the popular "National Unity" group, the group of former politicians, military that opposed the National Pride Party. With this, turned National Pride members, National Unity supporters, military men and conservative and liberal thinkers coalesce in the capital of Tranquilita to write a new constitution.

Hopefully that's something.

Sounds great.

All in favor?

Aye. Are the parties going to be Pride and Unity? Or other parties too?

There's going to be other parties.

Russia?  Maybe Belarus after their authoritarian government is overthrown?

Might someone explain to me what the M-22-7 is?

I'm in on the Cuba idea.  Should we start a new thread?
