Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) As future governor I must say the police force is the most important aspect of the game. Due to the fact that crime in the city will be ridiculously high I'll need many brave players willing to risk their lives in order to protect the city's businesses, people, and daily lives in general. As governor I have the capability to write and enact laws. Including laws that enact wages for our officers. I believe officers or any form of police service should be awarded the highest game career pay. Support The Great Monarchy and don't be shy to give your input, I'd like to build a good conversation.

Posted March 7, 2017 So you want to start a King and Queen kinda thing, like the UK? I'm not sure how well that would work considering that the map is based off the USA and that means Democracy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What if a governor became corrupted? We don't know if there will be a corruption prevention system for the politics career like there will be for the law enforcement career. We as players deserve the right to inspect every politician in the game and choose whether they have the right to lead us. You are starting to sound power hungry Prez. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 13, 2017 12 minutes ago, jman9798 said: sorry dude wrong again its a constitutional republic. ARE WE A DEMOCRACY OR A REPUBLIC? Is the United States a democracy or a republic? Unfortunately, the answer is politically and definitively confusing. Our form of government is both a democracy and a republic. Fortunately, the debate is beginning all over again and it was started by ordinary people who feel that our government is out of control. Dictionaries contain slightly different definitions of a democracy and a republic. However, most dictionaries agree that a democracy is government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives. A republic has two forms and definitions. A republic can be a form of government with an elected president instead of a monarch, or a form of government with an elected president and elected representatives responsible to the people. Webster's Encyclopedic Dictionary of the English Language brings a democracy and a republic closer together by defining a republic as "a form of government in which the sovereign power is widely vested in the people either directly or through elected representatives." Cuba's President Fidel Castro, Iraq's President Saddam Hussein and the presidents of many totalitarian governments fit the first definition of a republic. However, they are tyrannical presidents that wield the sovereign power of monarchs. The United States fits the second description of a republic, which, combined with the definition of a democracy, makes us a republic of representative democracy or what some call a democratic republic. In the definitions of both a democracy and the second definition of a republic, however, the supreme power is supposed to be widely vested in the people. But in our democratic republic, the power of the people has been compromised by those who have assumed greater powers. The word "democracy" is not contained in the Constitution, yet it begins with the democratic statement, "We the people of the United States. do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. The only place the word "republic" is mentioned is in Article IV, Section 4. "The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government."
