     I already have an amendment prepared to create a Southeastern Regional Legislature. It came about too late for the June vote, but it just needs a few more tweaks before it is seaworthy.

At this point, and maybe Purple State will disagree, I think we should take all of the ideas thrown around in this thread and have the delegates vote on each one. Then amend our current constitution to include them.

     Fair enough. Better than debating them endlessly without any real progress.

Yes. Regional judiciaries are entirely useless. What was the last time they did something?

     August 2008. Dibble ruled against Duke's determination that two voters (one of whom was yourself) could not vote in the secession vote.

1. The House shall be composed of a maximum of ten (undecided) Representatives, each with a term of one month, distributed proportionally among the regions to the nearest whole number. The representatives shall be elected from among the members of the regional elected officials according to the laws of each region. For the purposes of the House, each Region shall be divided intogiven a number of Districts representatives. The number of Districts representatives that a Region gets shall be as equal as possible to that Region's share of the Atlasian population, but each Region shall have at least one Districtrepresentative. The population in each District shall be as equal as possible to the other Districts in the same Region. Each District region shall elect one it's Representatives in a region-wide election using the PR-STV voting method.

This is better.

     The problem that arises there is that every region will just get two representatives since they are all nearly identical in size. Doesn't seem like the most interesting possible reform.

     I have no issue with axing regional judiciaries. It's not as if they really handle any business that could not be handled by the Supreme Court.

     I'm not even really sure where we're going with this anymore.
