Can we put a cap on the maximum worth of senators? There are less than 1,500 people in tge world with more than $1b. It's incredibly unlikely that there would even be one senator worth $1b.

This nation should not be taken to be representative of my real-life views, nor should any of the nonsense I posted on here as a teenager.

Which doesn't mean that we should start being completely unrealistic. I could accept having one or two people being in the low billions but having multiple people with fortunes putting them in the top 50 richest is just stupid.

Mine is only worth $127,150,000 currently.

That is still quite high for a track athlete. Usain Bolt is only worth around 20,000,000 and the 100m sprint is way more popular.

In the real world, you probably wouldn't have a 34 year old Japanese immigrant who had made a small fortune off hentai in the senate, either. This is F7, we don't have to be super realistic.
I support peace in Israel and Palestine. The governments and people in power on all sides are an absolute disgrace, and their unwillingness to pursue peace is a disservice to the people they are meant to be serving. The status quo is not simply untenable; it is unquestionably unacceptable.

He has also written novels :P Which is odd to have three published and have made millions by the age of 19.. But this isn't completely real world scenario.. Gotta have a little bit of fun.

I'm not asking for super realism, I'm asking for people to be sensible. A Japanese woman making a bunch of cash from hentai in the senate isn't unreasonable, having a dozen of the worlds richest people in the senate is.

Unless he's written a best selling series like Harry Potter he isn't going to be swimming in money by 19. Usain Bolt is the richest active track athlete and is only on $20m.

Senator Rupert Weinthal Liberal Democrats
No image available

Account Name: Beta Test
Occupation: Senator, formally lawyer
Party Position(s): Member and Ambassador to Reform Party
Positions in Government: Senator
Constituency: Constituency 126- Altshaagen
Political Ideology: Social Liberalism
Family: N/A
Background: Born on October 21 1976. Rupert's father was from a Jewish family that escaped Germany in the 1930's. This and the racism he suffered in school had a profound effect on him. His mother was of Scottish origin. He learnt German, Hebrew, Yiddish and Hungarian during his teens. Rupert also spent summers on his uncle's potato farm, which is where he got his love of potatoes. He studied law and political science in university. Rupert was elected a local Councilman, serving from 2001-2003, but was forced to give up the job due to its low pay. In 2011 he ran for and was elected to the Aurentina Senate.
Faith: Agnostic
Likes: Liberty, justice, Socio-Capitalism, Social Liberalism, George Orwell, Rugby union, potatoes
Dislikes: Laissez-faire economics, Social Conservatism, Jingoism, National Socialism, Anti-Semitism, poor reality television
Any Questions from the Public to be answered? Why do you dislike the laizzes faire economic system?Well, history tells us the unregulated market is dangerous. In the 1920's, the administration of President Calvin Coolidge followed laissez-faire economics, and that resulted in the Wall Street Crash of 1929. In general though, I think it is unhealthy for anything to go completely unregulated and that's what laissez-faire is, the virtually unregulated market. Also I don't trust business to regulate itself. Senator, what is your opinion on the rise of extremism on both the left and right?
While I don't approve of such ideologies, I accept their right to exist as a tenet of freedom of speech. The USLP and NIFP are two of the Senate's larger parties, but I trust the Aurentine people know that extremism is never good for a country. Why do you dislike Social Conservatism? Social Conservatism seeks to hold society back and deny people both liberty and equality. That and because many Social Conservatives are insane bigots with little grip on reality.

I do agree with this ^ Still not real world scenario. But I do agree that we don't need ten senators with $20 billion plus dollars.

I know. That doesn't mean it shouldn't be realistic. I don't nearly as much of an issue with this person as I do the "My senator has 20 billion dollars" people.
