republic

[tyranim]

i move that there should be a sort of "galactic republic" like in starwars, but here in this forum (purely for ammusement or for practice for those who are looking to become a poletition). it will of course be of the countries and not of the planets or anything like that. this will also allow people to learn poletics through means other than BORING text books.

Good suggestion! Right now, it seems a bit abstruse.

The best response.

So.. you want to learn about politics from people on a forum about a game? I would advise against this, as much as I like this community. If you "learn" the wrong facts, a lot of your future opinions could turn out really skewed. This is, unfortunately, not so uncommon.
Now, for fun? Knock yourself out. It's "politician" and "politics" though.

I though that "poletics" is some Star Wars thing. Ok, politics makes more sense.

But I still don't get this idea. So this is supposed to be a game? And if it's a game, then what's it about?

its somewhat similar to the war, master, senate things. there will be elected members of the republic, but only one from each country. think of it this way. the senate and masters are already part of this republic (or confederacy, democracy, etc if you prefer) its not really teaching politics (sorry for the misspell), but more the general idea of how it works, nothing specific. these are all just ideas subject to change.

Well, I'd join in.

Still don´t get your suggestion completely.
What will we teach (or discuss ?) in the republic ?. The constitution of our country, the way of political decisions are made ?

e.g.
Land xy is a social and demoratic federal state. The highest political organs are the parliament, the Federal Council,  and the federal government, which is nominated by the chancellor, who is elected by the parliament. The Head of State is the president ...

I still don't get it. I mean lets say we had this republic elected. Then what? What would they actually do?

I think you need to present this idea in a more polished form. Currently the whole idea is basically nothing more than one word, "republic".

First off, How will we even make countries in a forum? You need a different website.

Second, what do we do even after we somehow choose countries?

Third, are you talking about a game or are you serious?

Ok, I know a website like that.....but I'm not allowed to post it, due to forum rules.
