Kusarian Republic Parliament Concept

[WesternPeregrine]

Thank you all for your input on the matter at hand.

I think however that a condition of being in the group should be that you are active in some capacity in Kusari so that your POV is actually making Kusari be like Kusari as opposed to just easier to manipulate from an outsiders POV.

I see your point, and it is true that someone with such intention could try to manipulate this concept to benefit "foreign" interests.
I must say that in my case I must admit that my activity in the game is pretty much focused in Kusari, and although I read a lot of whats happening outside, I cannot say there would be a straight out clear stance that Kusari would take on each situation.
Certainly that kusarian factions would place great focus on the internal affairs of the Kusari territory, but the Parliament would also have to deal with some part of the foreign affairs. This would not completely replace the direct negotiations system that has been used until now.
Outsider participation would provide different approaches to problems that would not fall squarely into the KNF/Police, Keiretsu, Hogosha mindset. These groups would probably be the most influential, but there should be possibility for others to appear.

Kusari as I see it now is very closed in its activity, with little interaction between the house factions and between Kusari and the exterior. A more open participation may create new triggers for activity in these factions, and allow the Republic to have greater intervention in the affairs of Sirius.

Regarding "making Kusari be like Kusari", would you consider the requirement of posting as a kusarian parliament member, and the support of official kusarian factions insufficient for this orientation?

Also I would probably not agree with the dev team forming the higher house, their job is to place the basic outline for the mod as opposed to all the tiny details a fitting to.

I have inserted this part because I had the notion that currently much of the development of the storyline that is not being taken care for by any pertinent faction would fall into the dev's judgment. If the developers feel that supervision form their side is unnecessary, we can simply remove this. However, should the parliament approve a game changing resolution, and the devs are unwilling to go ahead with it, it could create a bad ambient between the two parts.
This part can certainly be improved, either by removal of this tool, or modification.

There is the possibility of a civil war in Kusari's future, it may happen yet.
A measure of control such as this idea is a hard thing to give up and will spell a clear decision to how the war would play out.

I understand that this has been planed way before I have arrived at this community, and that it has suffered from a very stalled development, mainly due to low presence of the Exiles and their supporters.
Consider it this way: while the exiles are gearing up to return, they could possibly intervene in many of the activities that the republic is doing. Perhaps the Republic wishes to start constructing th tradelane and Jumpgate to Tottori in Kyushu, and the exiles try to act against it, to give them enough time to create a strong presence in Tottori. Possible strikes against installations in Hokkaido prevent the Republic from moving the BS Matsumoto to Rishiri, and delay plans to build new lawful bases in Rishiri and Nagano.

An active republic might detract from the Exiles cause, but it might provide more means to act as well. Who knows how many Emperor and Shogun supporters might still lurk around the political circles of the Kusari Republic.
