So I have been thinking about how to introduce a World Congress/United Nations style organisation in to Terra Nations. Most of you will be familiar with how that works in Particracy Classic, with a General Assembly where all nations are represented, and a much smaller Security Council comprising a mixture of elected and unelected members.
In Particracy Classic, we had a situation where a large proportion of players were not particularly interested in international RP. With Terra Nations, I hope and believe the situation is the reverse - almost everybody would relish the opportunity to get involved at some level.
Given we (hopefully!) have a wide pool of players who would be interested in participating in the World Congress, my current thinking is that we could make do with a General Assembly made up of all the nations, which gets to debate and vote on binding motions. It would be great to have everybody able to take part in that. I'm not personally sure there is necessarily a need for the added complication of having separate Security Council.
One possibility would be to to have a reasonably simple system of "weighted" voting, where the bigger powers are able to cast more votes in the General Assembly than the others.
Organising a World Congress for Terra Nations would likely mean someone RPing the General Secretary, who would be responsible for organising the debates, motions, votes and so on.
I would be appreciative if you guys could give me your feedback re: your ideas for how the World Congress should operate, either here on the forum or on Discord. Thanks!
EDIT: A poll has been added. Please vote for the option which best reflects your views. Thanks!
