Open the spoiler if you want to read about that.....but Peacezone Theory is an old idea. 2018 demands new innovations!
Introducing the "Confederation of the Six (or Five)"
(We need a better name)
Transition has to occur but everyone is stuck into their old ways of thinking. Transition shouldn't be towards one regional government that governs control all 6 regional powers, but a loose confederation of six regional governments that each only control 1 regional power. Each of those 'governments' can develop their own culture and constitution to determine how they want to elect the 'delegate' of that regional power. We'll have a WA Voting Delegate, Appearance Delegate, Communications Delegate, Border Control Delegate, Embassies Delegate, Polls Delegate. They can engage in foreign relations with the other governments if they want to coordinate the use of the regional powers together.
This addresses the main 'flaw' from Peacezone Theory, that government and players within in need to hold some sort of institutional power that provides a purpose to exist.
From the current state of the Lazarus here is what I'll do:
- At some future point in time, top 5/6 most WA endorsements excluding the Game-Executive Delegate shall form the initial Confederation of the Six (or Five, depending on whether Border Control is delegated). Starting at the top each could pick the one power they want. This reflects the current situation quite nicely as Treadwellia currently 5th excluding the delegate and he was appointed Polls. We already have a start!
- The initial Five/Six Powers Delegates can decide whether claim the power for themselves as a dictator, or further delegate it by building a democratic government to determine how that power should be elected.
- The transition has to happen gradually, releasing one power at a time, for each of the Five/Six Powers Delegates can have time to find their feet and establish thier own presence. The populace also needs to be slowly introduced to the Confederation of the Six as they have been indoctrinated by the One Regional Government ideology thus far and it needs some adjustment. At the moment "Polls Delegate" is released, so the others are still up for grabs for those who can reach the most endorsements when the next release happens. This gradual releasing of powers one by one shall be the transition of Lazarus from Anarchy to a Confederation.
- If the power is to be claimed dictatorially, then I think there should be a fail safe clause where they have to remain in the top 5/6 endorsements. This means keeping your WA locked, so democracy has its advantages!
- If the power is claimed democratically, then the Powers Delegate with the selected power can then be passed down via the democratic process developed.
- As mentioned earlier, each of the Powers Delegate or their governments might want to form treaties so they work together. Or they might want to go rogue, powerplay etc. That's the fun!
- The Game Mechanic Executive Delegate exists only to safeguard the system, facilitate the passing down of Powers Delegates among those that have made democratic processes, and to vote the way the "WA Voting Delegate" votes.
