We souldn't have evil dictatorships representing regions because they want things for themselfs. I think only people who want things for everyone should lead regions. Plz leave comments about this issue only. :)

Just because Dictatorships are different from Democracies, does not mean they are evil. It could be argued that any nation who represents a region, evil dictatorships or not, will think for itself first.

We're a 'dictatorship'. We are not evil, however. Just because we think and do things differently than you, doesn't make us evil. And we ARE the delegate for our region. Elected in proper fashion. Kindly keep in mind that if the 'evil dictatorship' doesn't listen to their region on WA voting, they can be removed from office just as quickly as they were elected, so it behooves them to behave.

Yea, it seems that if the dictatorship were to get out of line their endorsements would go away and likewise their delegate status.

Not all dictatorships are evil. That is a common stereotype. I have to agree with most of the other people here. Delegates who are dictators, must behave or else they will lose their endorsements.

And what if the region consists entirely or corrupt evil dictatorships can they not have delegates...

They can, but there would probably be many WA delegates in a short period of time.

All of your opinions on this are completely pointless, this whole idea is illegal as it falls under the category of Game Mechanics. Please go read the Proposal Rules (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=420465) and try again.

Ha, Flibbleites is right. I didn't even realize it myself until you said something. That kind of thing might make you a future game moderator.

With all due respect to the incomparable Ambassador Flibble even a passing familiarity with this organisation's rules would have indicated that this proposed statute was completely illegal. Those proposing legislation for the w.a. should do it the decency of making themselves familiar with at least the basics of its parameters for lawmaking.

yea.. it's illegal to try to change game rules like this as a proposal. if you want to change rules suggest it to moderators. i would like to say, that depending on who's view your looking from dictators can be evil. i for example am a democracy, as are many other nations. and we believe that the very banning of democracy (or anything of the sort) including but not limited to human rights (such as voting for representation) is "evil".

but that's just my view. NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!. anyway, i am friends with some dictatorships, however i am the regional delegate of THE ALLIED POWERS OF LIBERTY. i don't respected dictators however, it is important to know that dictatorships are by far, the most effective kinds of government around. Democracy is slow and tedious. constant checks and balances.

however, there's a saying that goes "Democracy is the best of the worst governments"

OOC: You'd also have to keep in mind that while the nations page may have one form of government listed, there are a lot of people that RP something completely different. ie, Rutianas is, for RP purposes, a Socialistic state. However, according to the NS page, Rutianas is an 'Inoffensive Centrist Democracy'. There'd be no way to effectively enforce it.

I mean dictatorships that are evil not the good ones. And not everyone thinks of themselfs first.

It doesn't matter what you mean, it's still illegal. And I wouldn't even bother the mods with this idea because it's not going to happen.

Too late.

Flibbleites is correct. It's flatly illegal. End of story. Thread locked.
