I hardly doubt that anybody wants to listen to us. They could if they would want, but they do not.
It's not because they think this "fixes" would make anything better, they WANT to play with us, they WANT to see us turn in circles...
I will never understand their intention and I am tired of trying it...

To me it leaves the impression, we are nothing but a social experiment.

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.

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. 
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.

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. 

For a little more democracy in this republic, here's some shit that would actually benefit the players, and if we're not already about to throw an uprising against this we should. Though I haven't yet figured out how to sieze the means of production over the internet. 

- Any user, whether paid Senator, State Minister, or Citizen, should be allowed to run for Prime Bimbo.
- Add goddamn primary and general elections with multiple day windows for voting. 
- Senator positions should have at least one seat per State that free to play players at Citizen level can run for.
- A RIGHTFUL Bimbo President would be one that was chosen by the players and not by the fact they own the website. Prime Bimbo and President should both be chosen by voters, and by continuing to interfere directly in the affairs of Bimboland, a very clear set of controlled actions is taken against the players.

You can't play your own game without conflicts of interest. OUR PRESIDENT, AKA the idiot that owns this site and thinks he's funny, is an admin. Most people on here don't give a shit about the political stuff, but for the people that do, you're absolutely tainting the environment. The way you're fucking with the player base lately breaks some serious 4th walls of how a professional, to-be-someday-peer-reviewed, ethical social experiment is done.

Please stop being a mob-rule-encouraging shit lord and pay attention to the goddamn community. You're replaying Plato's Republic and Plato already tried it, and that's literally the opposite of modernizing the process. That plus looming dictatorship. Basically.

Oh, and I forgot to add, like AlienPrincess said, the elections need to be at least a week and not a single day. Maybe users could get a small bonus for voting too.

Also more tiers of "gvt" and a system of checks to keep your ridiculous ass in check, Mr. President. And maybe have someone proofread your damn posts for formatting, spelling, and clarity. Your lack of professionalism will really hurt your research paper at the end of this experiment.

I don't know if I should laugh about spending a lot of words to say nothing or to cry about the fact that he changes NOTHING

I cancelled my senator subscription.

I thought this was a game I enjoyed playing. It took me a long time to get the hang of it, because players don't interact with other players. I thought it was because I don't fit in here just like I don't fit in everywhere else.. I thought State Ministers got the title be paying money. I have never had an idea how this website operates, and I understand less now.

I'm getting fucking flashbacks of Miss Bimbo.

Chris, Chris, have you been drinking again?! How many fingers am I holding up? Oh, who am I kidding, you're forever alone, why would you have stopped drinking...

This is pretty much what happened last time. We had a good thing going, and then Chris saw fit to become more "directly involved" and suddenly it all goes to shit. FML

I would like to believe that, but nothing I've ever read written by MB suggests even a hint of academia.

Take this gem of a paragraph:
"I have decreed that for 1 year only we will try a new system of governance where the Prime Bimbo will duly be elected from the state that has the most votes and support.   This way I feel sure that the role of the right honourable Prime Bimbo will once again become respected as the most important bimbo in the beautiful free world."

That's something you text your ex when you're drunk, not a decree.  It doesn't even make sense.
So what you're saying is that the Prime Bimbo will be elected from the state that has the most votes (whatever 'support' means in this context).  So if in the next election 1,000 votes are cast, and 850 of them are cast from Atheista, that means the Atheista candidate wins, yeah?  Well what if 750 of those votes are actually for someone from another state and the Atheista candidate only receives 50 total votes?  Do you see how this could become a complete dumpster fire in no time?

Like Sandi and Vita, I've canceled my senatorship and it will expire at the next refresh cycle.  I feel like it's becoming too much of a BoJack Horseman episode.
