Yes. ATM in urr, A jet has taken off, carrying Rikel. In port Covia, an aircraft carrier and it's entire defensive fleet head out to sea, on a confidential mission.

But Richomp, they can’t outvote everyone—how many times to I have to say this? All the Richomp and TLU reps won’t vote together. And I’m guessing the combined power of all the Liberal, anti-war reps in the all countries would be enough to stop your theoretical idea.

Yes — and if you're really afraid of tyranny-by-slight-majority, we can have it so that the Council has to approve legislation made in Parliament or something.

And if we do your expanded council idea, will TLU have 7 reps and Epvia, Seeroltea, and Sovak Medasic each have 2? That seems very favorable for small nations and undesirable for larger ones.

Exactly. It’s important to have the proportionate Parliament to check the non-proportionate Council’s power, just like the US House and Senate.

Are you trying to occupy the capital of the DA to dismantle it? ;)

I think we all agree that Seeroltea and Deplandia combined shouldn't have two-thirds as much representation as Richomp, whose population is hundreds of millions larger than See+Dep.

Suure..... I should inform you that the first three armies have been recalled, and Kaisen's location is unknown

Hey, maybe the argument Richomp is making would be similar to the one our anti-DA presidential candidates would make, like Ross and Kadhir.

I never thought about it like that. That could be an interesting topic to RP. Though isn't Ross not anti-DA because he knows CS can't survive leaving it?

Nazbeth

No URR supports the DA, it's just phuuching stupid atm.

Rahul Raghuraman and Nazbeth

Ill fix that

I see the issue, but all political bodies will have bureaucracy and a disappointed minority. It’s just a fact.

You keep saying it's stupid, but your argument (that nation-by-nation voting blocs are how Parliament will be divided) simply isn't true (it'll be by political affiliation: the alt-rightists from all nations form a coalition, the centrists group together, etc).

He doesn’t like the DA, but he knows he needs it, so it’s kind of like a budding love-hate relationship.

Richomp is a nation, not a state of the DA. The DA is a way to pass broad reforms, it is not the primary government.

Interesting. Very interesting. When he wins (#Ross2060), the Sovak Medasic RP will be very lively.

OK, I gtg.

The DA also manages international economic and trade relations, like the EU. It's the reason for the DD, like the EU has the Euro.

And that’s true! We never said the DA had ultimate authority. They only pass international laws. Just like the UN. They have no authority over domestic issues.

can you discord talk at 9:45?

Exactly. Those crazy Deplandian fascists you keep bringing up have no power to change the way Richomp runs.

AM? Neither Naz nor I can then; we'll be otherwise occupied.
