really wacky but cool UN idea

Well, being delegate is a pretty awesome position, and there is quite a bit of power involved, depending on the size of your region. However, I think that there should be a UN president, that is elected by all the delegates by majority every 2 months. This UN president would have around one quarter say in UN resolutions. What i mean by this is let's say 16,000 people UN members voted in a previous resolution. The next resolution, the UN president's vote would count 4,000 votes. It's a lot, but it will make a lot of inter-region competition, a ton more haggling for power.

Hey Mods, what do you think?

There would be an extreme amount of abuse if such a position came into existence.

Probably too much code to write.

I am not a mod. I am showing why I think it's a bad idea. Whatever I say can be contradicted by any moderator.

In my opinion, bad idea. There would be great unfairness in the voting. The UN president would basically gurantee the approval/refusal of a resolution.

Abuse of the power. Players could 'bribe' the UN president to vote for what they believe in.
