For example, today's featured region is a tiny puppet storage region, with no features to it other than its name. That basically means the "featured region" feature is basically "here's a random region, take a look."
Wouldn't it be great if this game mechanism could become something meaningful instead? As in, a deliberate choice, which doesn't update daily, but maybe once each month, or something like that? There could even be a little blurb next to the link that says why that region is being featured.
I'm thinking being featured would be a function of notability, rather than an absolute positive thing, so it'd be just saying "this region is notable to the game" in some way, rather than being like a commendation.
As to the mechanism of how that'd work, well there's a bunch of different possible mechanisms, but here's a few:
1) Monthly poll that goes up for 24 hours. Highest wins. Any region featured in the last 12 months is not eligible.
2) Form a committee from WA delegates, 1 vote per delegate, otherwise same system.
3) An enlightened
4) An elected WA nation does the job for 4 months, and then a new election takes place. No nation ever gets more than 1 term.
What do you all think?
