In a perfect environment, I would support something new, but it would never pass, so I just don't want to waste the time. Sad

Look, the only new things this convention thought of were European-style democracies, which are not only not as fun, but would kill the game, as most players are Americans.

You can change a lot without changing the basic framework. It would look very different, but still have a similar structure. Personally, I feel regional reform is the issue at hand, as we have a strong party system and the federal government is working well.

If we don't get fun parliamentarianism, I hope we can atleast abolish regions or at worst reduce them.

This convention won't pass anything except status-quo, live with it and accept it. I'm obviously not happy at all about this, however, I realize that the force of status-quo have and will prevail, making any last-ditch attempts to make my proposal and universalism work entirely futile if not slightly stupid. In that regards, this convention can be judged to be a failure, sadly.

Parliamentarianism was tried with Antilla, and it failed, no use in trying again.

Antillia didn't fail because of parliamentarianism, Antillia failed because people were too lazy to write a constitution.  A parliament never even formed.

Even more similarities between the convention and Antilla. Hmmm... Antilla failed, so logically, hmmm... Wink

I would say that the comparison would be between Atlasia and Antillia, and so Atlasia is now doomed to fail, but okay Tongue

All I'm saying is Parliament = Failure.

You can have reform without totally changing the system.
