Hawk, Phalanx: I wasn't trying to steal the EBA; if someone else thinks they should start it up, let me know and I'll ask the mods to delete the thread.

No troubles here -- I was just taking the opportunity to remind you that there was an old EBA, and that it was one of the few organizations that probably didn't get shaken up by the recent upheavals... ;)

That, and to put this Napier cat in his place. I see conflict in the future... :D

If you're referring to St. James: they are his initials.

So can we start picking at the Constitution yet?

For example, if the Council of State wants to impeach the Attorney General (the head of the Council of State), it needs five votes of seven to suceed. Assuming the AG either won't vote or will vote no, then two no votes (instead of three) would decide the AG's fate.

I like the fact that certain inconsistances are built in. For example, the Federal government has control over national parks and the environment, but the provincal government has control over forestry. This could cause some nice fights. Similarly, the Feds have control over health and welfare, the provinces over science and technology. So, if one province decides to legalize cloning research, and the Feds don't want it, what happens? I'll tell you - more work for lawyers!

There does not appear to be a presidential veto power; should there be?

The President is the commander in chief, but the Parliment can kick out service chiefs. Does this lessen the President's CoC power?

The Constitution is great, by the way, and the above nitpicks are just that. Ambiguity in a constitution is a great way to cause problems (just look at the US version).

Good work again, mods!

I know.. but what is wrong with TMV? I don't get it ( I'm portuguese you know :p )
There is nothing wrong with "TMV" as an abbreviation (not that I know of, at least). It's the names themselves. Marmaduke? I mean, really - I can understand why he hates his parents (genteelly, mind). :D Theodore isn't too bad, but rather old-fashioned and stuffy. I'd say Vincent is the only decent one in the whole bunch.

and MEL, may party allready have the support of 2 more people *hint hint*
I think I've explained already how the procedure works; repeating the request isn't going to make it work any faster. ;) In any case, the decision is made by all GM, not just by me.

Glad you noticed! ;)

There were several fun discussions about what to leave and what to put in.

There's no presidential veto - and the Gall story line worked to justify that :D. The idea I really liked, but it would have proved extremely unwieldly, was to have a "provincial" veto over national laws that met certain criteria.

But regardless, such questions and debates are for the characters to engage in through the media, their political party HQ's, and, eventually, in elected offices. I think you'll be able to have some fun with it.

Is he divorced or did his wifes "mysteriously" died because of "heart attack" ?
Funny you should ask. It so happens that Beloved Wife #1 (Lorelai Ophelia) ended up in a psychiatric clinic. :D

Well things are shaping up rather interestingly so far with the relaunch of Eutopia. Another lawyer, and news competition for the Eutopian Today, and the Gonzo now has a business empire to compete with AAH and Lundgren Corporation. Will Petrarca join in the business empire fun?

IKK as Jonh Kenny is forming a party, and the commonality party is trying to make a comeback. But oddly enough, others haven't formed parties or are waiting to see how things fall out.

Moonbucks...now that is funny. I like it...I may call my new shopping stores Al-Mart......short for Al'Aeshir Mart....:) Or maybe something else...I haven't decided....

Oh we all know there would be a Wal-Mart in Eutopia. Wal-Mart owns the world along side Ronald.
