If I may offer an opinion, and while I can't speak for Peanut, I feel a project of this sort - a worthwhile idea on its own - would not only require a deputy, but also changing the timing of NPC elections. Although being burnt out myself had much to do with RL, I have grown to believe having them take place each month is asking too much and adding too much pressure. The system would work better, I think, if we had them every two months, whether that is by extending the campaign period to last two months, or, preferably, taking a break each month to prevent player and GM exhaustion.
If there were steady breaks, it would probably become more feasible for the GM - and/or deputies - to spend more time on simulating governance.
Regional legislatures set the timing, so they would have to authorize changing the schedule. I imagine that would have to be accomplished first before its included on this bill?
