DWTL Region Shrinking Plan

[Fine...I Made This More Civil]

We could just split the country in half and have two big regions. Each region would have a head of Government and 3 to 5 Assembly members. The Assembly members would come up with bill and debate the bills, if passed then the bill would go to the head of Government and that person can sign/veto bills.

They would have alot of work to do to start off with, trying to come up with a constitutions for the new regions, name the regions and so on.

Haha. East-West. Names done. But, seriously, this isn't a bad idea. However, I would much rather have many regions (10) and have one or two elected members of parliament (judging by the voting) than having only two regions and a bunch of elected officers from each.

OK, I couldn't get the map to be more than 4 colors, but I present a 9 region plan, based on Afleitch's population map. The Northeast is split into 3 regions, which are not shown on the map. Two regions each share the colors blue and red, but they are not one region. Take only the contiguous regions. Alaska is part of Washington's region and Hawaii is part of CA's. The Southern gray area is one region, but can be split in two to make a 10th region if necessary. The Northeast could be split 4 ways instead of 3 to serve the same purpose.

The thing is there isn't alot of active members, I believe that the less regions we have the better off we are. It will be very hard to find someone active in all of them regions.

Now, If we had two or three region it would be better for the game. One you will have better elections because more people would be running also it will get parties to have primaries if the have more then one cadidate wanting to run. It would bring the game to a new level that we don't have right now.

However, most active members would get a meaningful say in this system.

3/4 of those regions would be inactive. There would be a whole lot of trouble to actually get one name on the ballot in every regional election in those regions.

People would move regions to make it so.

Trust me, there wouldn't be enough activity.  And you'd still have the problems that "regions don't matter".  Because they don't.

Maybe we should make the game as a coalition of many countries, like the EU, except with an elected leader.

A great idea, but nobody supports abolishing the national government.

Who knows? Things change.

"Great asset"?!

Look, you said it yourself: the people who are active in the regions are active in the national government.  What's the point in keeping regions, then, if regions have no actual purpose?  As it is right now, there's nothing that regions do that the national government doesn't.

Because that is for veteran members. But new members usually are only active in the regions at first. I'm new enough to appreciate this I guess.

That is true. People like devilman and I are both only active on the regional level because we are new. Taking that away is like taking away the minor league system from baseball.
