NSG Senate Lobby (OLD THREAD, DO NOT POST)

[Great Nepal]

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

I want us to try to do something new!

Dont you want to live up to the Rome? Command legions and raze moderation forum?

[The IASM]

Crown Prince, Archduke, Empress. We'll sort this out.

We need have a different title now, something unique or something old an not used. Maybe Patriarch or Matriarch depending on the gender of the leader.

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.

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.

At least the President is democratically elected, and not just lucky enough to be born into the position.

Current proposal is that Caesar will be democratically elected by the senate too.

[Gordano and Lysandus]

The State of Aurora, or the State of Axarea, or the State of ____________.

I like it that way, like the State of Japan, as it is known these days.

If they're elected, then I'd argue they're not technically a monarch...

We should choose a Roman sounding name, yes, but Nova Roma is already taken I'm afraid.

Democracy isn't a magic wand that makes everything better than it was before.

Constitutional monarchs do the same work as figurehead presidents, for less cost to the taxpayers and greater ease in transition.

[Great Nepal]

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!

Why not Aurora?

"IMPERIVM AVRORÆ" sounds like a fun name!

Actually, yea that sounds cool.

Current proposal is that Caesar will be democratically elected by the senate too.

If they're elected, then I'd argue they're not technically a monarch...

But they are.

We're only saying monarch because they'll have a monarchal title... Stahp Hatin'

If they position doesn't actually have any power, then what on earth is the point of having the position?

Well look at Vatican.

Because you need a final executive authority.

Plus, a constitutional monarch is a stable diplomatic representative of his people that other national leaders can get to know and negotiate with.

We should choose a Roman sounding name, yes, but Nova Roma is already taken I'm afraid.

Then, lets take your name and lead legions into battle against Constantinople to reclaim what is legitimately ours, the title of Nova Roma. We shalt then pillage Constantinople and burn it to the ground!

[Gordano and Lysandus]

What about the State of Roma-Anglica or something?

[Luziyca]

How about... Nova Nova Roma?

[The IASM]

I made something great. Now lets decide how they are chosen my dear servants puppets Senators.

[Great Nepal]

How about... Nova Nova Roma?

So, Newer New Rome?

[Gordano and Lysandus]

I would say that Senators can put themselves forward for the position as Caesar, and they then have to secure 75% of the Senate to hold the office.

[The IASM]

Imperium Populi if think is a good name.

A true Roman would never burn the city of the Eastern Roman Emperors to the ground ...that's Frankish speak.

...However, we could enact a special taxation law for the illegal use of the name Nova Roma and tax the citizens of Constantinople 'till they starve, then we would offer them bread as prize for winning gladiatorial battles.

Well, if it works for New New York, it can work for us.
