[Senyosu]

While effectively being one of the most democratic (as representitive democracy can get of course) nations in the known world (multiverse aside for now) Senyosu has some of the most restictive requirements to become a politician. This is partly due to a practice istarted in the 80s deliberately ostracizing politicians and officials that did not have proper portfolios, past achievements, military background, and more than two specializations for work.

Originally, this caused major outrage before the Bill for the New Millenium was passed into law in 1993. Said bill made enormous reforms throughout the public sector, save for the national health service, originally causing unemployment, yet at the same time employed thousands of younger and more qualified--by extension more dedicated--public service workers and politicians. This bill also touched various sectors of industry in the private sector, particularily stimulating further innovation and competition.

Back to politicians. Currently, the New Millenium Bill has been revised numerous times, closing potential loopholes, further clarifying certain clauses, and relaxing certain sections. These are the requirements as of 2008 to 2020.

• Must be 18 years or older
• Must be a Senyonese citizen (foreigners who have lived more than ten years in Senyosu and have citizenship are eligible to becoming an official)
• Must be fluent in Senyonese and English
• Must have served as a member of the military as a full time personel for more than six months
• Must have passed all levels of education
• Must have two specializations or majors as an undergraduate, with one being a master's degree or higher
• Must have a GPA of 8 and above (GPA scale in Senyosu is 1-10, 10 being perfection while 1 way below a fail)
• Must have a portfolio (portfolio requirements depend on department, with said portfolio expanding further on other requirements)
• Must have at least one job outside of public services
• Must not have any criminal record of any form, misdemeanors disregarded (excusable if one has an outsanding achievements and an above and beyond portfolio)
• Must have proper knowledge of the constitution and founding principles
• Must swear loyalty to the constitution, crown, and country

The following that was highlighted usually brings about fierce debate among political analysts, economists, and politicians alike. Many claiming it far too vague and inherently discriminatory on the basis of employment alone.

However, in the end all be all, most politicans have a primary background in; business management, engineering and design, computer science/psychology/neuroscience, or health and general science. With a secondary background in; economics, political science, fine arts, communications, sociology, public affairs and policy management, law and criminology, or philosophy.

Most have master degrees/PHDs in the following; engineering and design, science and innovative technology, education, philosophy, business management, or health/medical sciences.

As you can see, the New Millenium bill was to effectively establish a technocratic government through a meritocratic system of judges and specialists by the year 2000. Did it officially work? Somewhat. As a result, politicians have the shortest job lifespan in comparison to other public sector jobs. Expect to last no more than 3 to 8 years, tops. Of course, those that manage to get into parliament or the cabinet or even the SENATE must be dedicated enough and, of course, have more--but much more lenient--requirements to get in.

Some unofficial requirements are dedication, charisma, and ambition.

And that is how you become a politician in Senyosu. Have fuuun~
