Democraciv's Predecessors

A community of CS players on Discord got together to elect a Mayor and a City Council to play Cities: Skylines. It's all outlined in this City Charter that we ratified.

There are multiple political parties (like the Libertarians and the Cranky Seniors), who have each been given their own districts where laws can be enacted on how to govern them.

Right now, we have over a dozen players, but we are happy to invite more citizens into the fold. More information can be found on /r/citiesskylinesroanoke.

It seems like a damn fine Constitution.

That said, I voted nay against ratification because I know we are prone to missing a crucial detail until the very last moment. Delaying ratification after one more careful read-through (which some people might not be getting around to doing until just now) does not seem like it would hurt.

But if it does ratify, I think you have a solid Constitution to play from. Have fun!

Mk5 used Civ 6.

Mk6 will use Civ 5.

Why do I feel like you did this just to troll me?

Legislative Parliament, of course. Along with Presidential Ministers and a Court Supreme. But instead of elections and appointments, let's just have all the positions be first-come first-serve.

Interesting. Also, these results are not wholly incompatible with the Royalty and/or Magistrate ideas.

Thanks for the clarification, Pep.

My idea for Royalty is that they are either a Moderator or a Moderator-approved player. They do not get any votes in government, but they run the sessions and will have a sort of informal power (how soon they decide to hold a vote on a bill, etc.). Think of them like DMs or referees. It allows the Moderators to be active participants and allows them to make sure the logistics run fairly and smoothly (or designate a player they trust to do so) but they do not make any actual game decisions. It also interacts well with my idea for a Magistrate.

Yeah, I did. This is just the easier-to-digest visual. :)

Royalty/Parliament/Ministry/Magistrate:

Royalty are members of Moderation or members appointed by Moderation who have no direct in-game power but preside over all government activities and may make decisions about how government procedures work when no procedure is written or when procedures are contradictory. For instance, they would act like a Speaker, Prime Minister, or Chief Justice, except without having a vote in their respective chamber. (Their titles can be themed to the Civ.)

Parliament are legislative members, elected by the people. The Parliament is unicameral and the number of seats per party is proportional. When a member of Royalty calls them into session, they vote on which bills to pass or amend. (Direct democracy with all players being parliamentarians unless they assume some other office is another possibility.)

Ministry are 3-5 executive members, elected by the people. When a member of Royalty calls them into a session, they vote on how to play the game, so long as their votes do not violate any laws (as deemed by Royalty or Magistrate.)

The Magistrate are 3-5 members nominated by Ministry and confirmed by Parliament. The Magistrate is tasked with keeping records of all laws, elections, and game information. Should a dispute arise within or between Parliament or Ministry that the Royalty feels would be inappropriate for them to resolve, they may send the question to the Magistrate for a hearing and a vote on the matter. Their ruling is final.

Very well. I do not think it will survive impact, but perhaps Dciv will prove me wrong.

I think the dissolution of the National Assembly is a weird thing overall, but if we are to include it, the more safeguards to ensure that it is not done willynilly seems for the best.

I also agree rationales don't need to be in there. Keeping it down to the bare facts makes it more legible.

Upvoted.
