Funny how this shows exactly how powerless the PB is. The democratically elected PB has taken a stand against this policy and yet she is not being listened too.I love these ideas, especially the last one. I think that would promote healthy debate and conversations on what each state means to each person.
Here are my ideas to improve participation:
Instead of giving users of the winning state bonuses, give all state ministers the bonuses to increase interest in running for state minister.Have state ministers run on the platforms for debates so users can choose a candidate they like best in some meaningful way BESIDE some vague aspirational bimboland program that everyone knows isn't going to happen (especially since state minsters don't even have the appearance of power the way the PB does) or else, have the SM candidates promote their ideologies in some other new way.Promote each SM's ideology in the forums after each election. Encourage users to change states to match which SM's ideology they like the most. Make switching states cheaper so users have the opportunity to do this if they wish.
you've used "modernise" a few times. you know what's a great, "modern" way to make things that has really taken off in the last few years? community backed projects! which is kind of the only option for your specific project to work. so maybe listening to your community would be an idea.It's almost like this is closer to modern dictatorship than modern democracy or something.
To me it leaves the impression, we are nothing but a social experiment.
