Yes, the Prince has finally decided to give the common people a voice... sorta.

The bizarre and byzantine regulations regarding who can vote and who can't boil down to this:

*Must be either a member of the Professional/merchant classes or an aristocrat of some sort.

*Can not be a government employee.

There are several more rules and regulations, but those are the important ones.

Xavier Henries
Party: Blue Party
Age:54
Policies: Lowering taxes, cutting back on military expenditure, increasing government contributions to charity. Also supports relaxing current criminal laws, and making it legal to chew gum. Wants to set up a relation
Pros: Actually has some policies that were not spoonfed to him by his fellow party members.
Cons: Archmage Merrech once threatened to turn him into a toad. Accidentally called the Prince's fiance a 'trollop'. Prince Alexander hates him, and wants him to die. His own Party President hates him, and doubts he'd make a good Grand Vizier.

Humphrey Appleby
Party: Red Party
Age: 58
Policies: Increasing government size, increasing military spending, turning Roania into a dominant power in the region, maintaining strong ties with Menelmacar, becoming a member of CENNA, yet retaining chemical weapons for defense purposes.
Pros: Is well liked, by the other people in government (and isn't that all that matters?).
Cons: Cares more about government then the people being governed.

Alysanndra Ellestrea
Party: Orange Party
Age: Who knows?
Policies: Increasing government size, diverting funds from military and business towards education and health, joining CENNA, increasing ties with Menelmacar, opening more government positions to the public and elves.
Pros: Her policies are quite popular, and many elves see her as a useful balance to Merrech's maneuverings.
Cons: Said Archmage wants her to die, Kelly is concerned that the Prince might like her a bit too much...

Questions will be allowed to be asked so that foriegn nationals can better grasp their policies.

byzantine regulations

"Byzantine Regulations"? Never heard that one before. Is that supposed to be an insult or a compliment?
