NSG Senate Lobby (OLD THREAD, DO NOT POST)

[Finium]

I think we also need a Speaker to keep order!

Speaker or prime minister?

Also, do we even have committees set up?

[Gordano and Lysandus]

We need the following:

Head of State (I want a monarch now, daddy!)
Head of Government (Lord President of the Senate or something?)
A Speaker (to keep order)

A national name (I suggested Axarea)
State symbols etc (Hippo's on that one)

And so on.

[Camelza]

Can we call the head of government "consul"?

[Great Nepal]

Can we call the head of government "consul"?

And head of state 'Caesar'?
Oh and how about "Nova Roma" or "Novam Terram" for nation name?

[Camelza]

Can we call the head of government "consul"?

And head of state 'Caesar'?

Evax!

[Gordano and Lysandus]

That's up for debate.

I admit, if my nation name goes through, Caesar of Axarea sounds pretty sweet.

FUN FACT: Caesar is pronounced "Kigh-sar", not "See-sar". No soft Cs in Latin.

[Gothmogs]

Can we call the head of government "consul"?

I agree with this man here.

Romans pronounced it Kae-zar, though.

[Gordano and Lysandus]

That's what I meant. XD

But yes, Caesar and Consul work quite nicely. Then if we appoint a military commander, he can be a Dux!

Bene facis!

I think that the titles Consul and Ceasar are accepted by most.
...after all we're supposed to be senators.

[Gordano and Lysandus]

Let's see.

So we have the Caesar, the Head of State, elected by the Senate to serve until death, abdication or impeachment by 75% of the Senate.
Then the Consul, the Head of Government, elected by the people from the Party Leaders within the Senate.

Does that mean, we get to lead military campaigns and assassinate people?

[Finium]

These are some legal texts I think we can borrow,


from Japan,
The <Monarch> of the Republic is the Head of the State and a symbol of the unity of the country and represents the sovereignty of the country. He shall guarantee the commitment to the Constitution and the preservation of <Nation>’s independence, sovereignty, unity, and the safety of its territories, in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution.

From Germany,
The <Monarch> shall represent the Republic in its international relations. He shall conclude treaties with foreign states on behalf of the Republic. He shall accredit and receive envoys.

From Russia,
the <Monarch>
a) shall direct the foreign policy of the Republic;
b) shall hold negotiations and sign international treaties of the Republic;
c) shall sign instruments of ratification;
d) shall receive letters of credence and letters of recall of diplomatic representatives accredited to his (her) office.

From Denmark,
Subject to the limitations laid down in this Constitution Act the <Monarch> shall have the supreme authority in all the affairs of the Realm, and he shall exercise such supreme authority through the <Sub-Offices>.

[Oneracon]

Let's see.

So we have the Caesar, the Head of State, elected by the Senate to serve until death, abdication or impeachment by 75% of the Senate.
Then the Consul, the Head of Government, elected by the people from the Party Leaders within the Senate.

And, just to be formal, we should have a position above Caesar which we nominally give to Max Barry

[Camelza]

That's what I meant. XD

And our army will consist of legions ready to bring justice and order to the barbaric parts of NS!

[Gordano and Lysandus]

I think we need to start drafting an "Act for the Leadership of the Senate and the Nation", but FIRST OF ALL, we need a damn name! C'mon guys, back Axarea!

[The Republic of Pantalleria]

Unfortunately gentlemen, it's 2 a.m. Here so I must receive decent rest, I shall start debating again in 8 hours, till then I say good morning...

[Silent Majority]

We shouldn't even have a monarch.

Why not?

There are plenty of highly developed RL countries that are monarchies.

Monarchies are relics of the past. The only reason they still exist in places like Europe is because they have no actual power so no one cares enough to get rid of them.

A Supreme Ayatollah!

But, how about "Nova Roma"? Its Latin and means New Rome.

I don't see your problem, it will be a normal head of state, but with an exponentially cooler name.

[Gordano and Lysandus]

Nova Roma sets a precedent that we have to kind of live up to.

I want us to try to do something new!

Yes, and the countries that transitioned from a monarchy to a republic simply replaced the monarch with a President who has no real power (see Germany).

The only difference is that a President costs the people more since you have to keep paying for elections every X number of years.

It has to be stereotypical because we aren't anywhere in particular, so I like where you are going with the Rome idea, but that would be a little too trite for my tastes.

Why not Aurora?

"IMPERIVM AVRORÆ" sounds like a fun name!
