The Emperor's Advisors will have no direct political power in the region. They will have access to communications only. Their main role will be to give me their opinions about different things.

Where does the Prime Minister stand on this matter?

Where does the Viceroy stand on this matter?

With permission from both of you I will go ahead and create a temporary office. It will remain temporary until it is approved by the House of Lords or the House of Commons. In the event that both Houses reject the idea, I will then dismiss the two advisors. Does this sound fair?

All they will do is give me advice and their opinions when I need it. That is their only job. They will not substitute for me in anyway. They will only advise.

Do they even need communications? I can't see why they would need it, especially since the lc doesn't

Asturias And Leon

Exotic Lemon wrote:Not saying you would, but couldn't you appoint two yes men?

"Yes men" would be a concern only if there was political power associated with the office. However, there is no political power associated with the office at all because that would be counter-democratic.

i want to learn russian, arabic and maybe french too.

Again, I don't think you would, but if you have two yes men then you might as well not have anyone, making the system kinda useless. Just throwing ideas out

Communications is the least powerful of all the authorities. That's why I chose that one. Granting them one authority gives them a visible place in government.

They don't need an office to be in the government, example the lc

Asturias And Leon

Exotic Lemon wrote:Again, I don't think you would, but if you have two yes men then you might as well not have anyone, making the system kinda useless. Just throwing ideas out

The idea of "yes men" is completely invalid here because these advisors have no political power whatsoever. They would only have a visible place in government on the officer list.

Yes, but you should learn how to introduce yourself and order food in English. It's pretty easy.

"I am Rome. I eat that."

"Sum Roma. ille consumo"

"Io sono Roma. Mangio quello"

"Yo soy Roma. Como la." <- not sure. I don't speak Spanish. :P

"Jeg heter Rome. Jeg spiser det"

"Jag heter Rome. Jag äter det"

"ICH BIN ROME! ICH ESSEN DAS!" (German must always be typed in all caps with exclamation points)

"Je suis Roma. Je uh... eat *gestures eating* uh... that. *points and mimes eating again*"

:D

Forestavia wrote:The idea of "yes men" is completely invalid here because these advisors have no political power whatsoever. They would only have a visible place in government on the officer list.

I am not worried about them abusing their power. I worry that they just would always agree with you, making going to them for advice worthless, so you might as well not have them

Asturias And Leon

Exotic Lemon wrote:They don't need an office to be in the government, example the lc

I agree. That's why I'm asking permission instead of just appointing them. I would like them to have an office as an Advisor to the Emperor. But I realize it isn't necessary.

Do you guys know if we still have the minister of war position or not?

Exotic Lemon wrote:The idea itself is good. But it could turn out to be another layer of bureaucracy, and if it is such a minor position do we need it?

Good question. It won't be another layer of bureaucracy and it may be a powerless position but it is no minor position. It will be a valuable resource for me. These advisors are a tool that I believe I need to be the best emperor I can be. In the past I have issued decrees hastily without considering all sides of an issue. These two advisors would be able to offer their own unique perspectives on various subjects and would have the responsibility of guiding any decisions I do make in the future.

Parakka Northland

I don't understand why is a government position though. Can't you ask anyone you want: me, plugo, parakka, civ, mugwop, the list goes on and on. anyone can give or receive advice

Exotic Lemon wrote:I don't understand why is a government position though. Can't you ask anyone you want: me, plugo, parakka, civ, mugwop, the list goes on and on. anyone can give or receive advice

I ask plenty of people for advice. Some in the government, some not. It helps me try to compromise or do something

Forestavia

It's just my preference that's all. I would like two tangible positions. I really feel that I'll be able to serve the regional empire better this way. If they are actual positions, I will feel more of an obligation to get their opinions on matters first before making a decision. These two positions will serve as another check on my power and will prevent me from resorting to emergency powers too frequently.

Exotic Lemon wrote:I am not worried about them abusing their power. I worry that they just would always agree with you, making going to them for advice worthless, so you might as well not have them

If you need time to think about it you can take some time. I'm hoping to get a direct yes or no response within the week from both you and Plugo so that I can plan my next move on this issue.

Asturias And Leon

Can you all get me the team in the next 3 hours?

Then you all need a team name, and a team captain (the most active nation. I'll telegram the captain the questions, and the captain sends them to the rest of the team. Also, the captain must send me the final telegram with all the answers)

Yeah, that seems practical to me. If someone is inactive then why would I want them as an advisor. How about an advisor may be impeached by one branch of the Legislature or by the combined vote of the Viceroy and the Prime Minister?

I'm decent. We have a Democratic Monarchy now in this region. It may or may not turn into a constitutional monarchy. We'll see. We still have the Lunar Council, though. It's the judicial branch now.
