In addition to that, if either the 1ic or 2ic of a faction isn't able to take up that spot (reduced activity for example) they should have the ability to be replaced with a faction representative instead after their written agreement.

This system also fails to consider the factions that aren't official, something which some Govs (cough cough, Libgov, cough cough) already realized and took measures towards that.

Good idea, pretty lackluster implementation in my honest opinion. I understand that some people just can't be assed to play by the rules and end up screwing over the entire playerbase, but your now mandatory Government build is just a worse version of what we (Libgov) already had. We had achieved a very good level of representation of our house by involving OFs, non-OFs and even people in there who didn't represent any faction but where there because they're respected and logical.

You're ruining this.

• I believe we can still function the way we are (i.e: having unofficial factions also giving their position on the decisions before posting - while still respecting the rules, I insist on this as I have received wrong reports about how "we" "didn't" and let certain players "do what they want" - if needed for the staff, I can show you the entire logs, and testimonies of each members, but know that we convene on another platform (which does not make evidences impossible to be considered as such (i.e. recording).), correct?
  
• Since each post will be overseen by a staff member (I would also like to know the specifics of such things please, so that I can relay it to the government properly as well), or how far will it go?
  
• Also, how about licenses-giving? They fall into this overseeing operations as well? Such as, say, an innocuous request about a Matrix for a Freelancer? Or a Bustard-class into Gallia?
  
• We have the Executive Orders, which gives "orders" (to fit with the military roleplay the Gallic Union goes for), how would this affect this, since they are designed to be distributed to the population as fast as possible (such as newly-discovered threat being publicized online (think about how this is widespread in the world, and how they appear in real-life, this was very much an example that fits for when COVID-19 was at it's "peak" (it's still here))

Some of these never desired officialdom yet worked together with the rest of their house, now they're ending up practically forced to pursue officialdom to have a proper voice.
