Perhaps, but that sounds very imperialistic. We are about the expression of free ideas, after all. And, with me being the Delegate, I also have the largest military, which would be contradictory. I propose a council of Delegates, the highest ranking being the WA Delegate, the number of members based off of the number of member nations. They propose actions, and if the majority votes on it, it goes to the whole region in a poll. If that goes through, the WA Delegate enforces it. If this is not done or done differently, the WA Delegate is demoted. If the WA Delegate does something without the majority vote, the WA Delegate cannot be a Delegate. In raids, if any, the Founder decides the military actions.

You have the largest military, what...? I'm talking about WA Endorsements, influence, regions, that sort of military. No one person has 'the largest military' in the way I was talking about. Free speech would go unchallenged, and elections would go unchallenged of any meddling.

Your Council idea is good, but there are a few things I think should be fixed or revised. Any member of this region should be able to submit actions/new laws. That way, the open-idea policy can be shown to actually have an effect on the region, and can be mentioned in the regional telegram. "Here in the open-air idea market Land's End, everyone's opinion can shape the region." I see no purpose for having the entire region vote on laws if the council passes them. I would poll the citizens before the council, if over 50% don't want the law to go to the floor of the council, it shouldn't. August/Mercantana is running two other military groups, the Conch Kingdom Naval Reserve and the military of Cape of Good Hope. Asking him to run yet another would be a challenge for him, especially if he's working on boosting this region to a decent size. Here is a revision to your council idea: Have each council member have jurisdiction over one specific area. For example, one council member could be a RMB moderator, another the military leader, another the foreign official, etc. The most powerful council member who oversees anything major for would be the WA delegate, of course. The founder could be like the old roman dictators. During times of need, he will step in and take control.

Additions: In order to give more voting power to the members, elections for council members should happen quickly after one another, perhaps one election every months, or every three weeks?
