Thank you for the advice, Garrett. While you're right, the point of helpful counselors is well.... to be helpful.
When you have to answer a simple yes or no question that has no relevance whatsoever (such as an entry permit), and people insist that you wait for the decision of 7 other people, while most of them aren't even active, that is not helpful counseling. The point of counseling is to help with making decisions that you yourself cannot do so alone, not to prevent you when you can.
This new system only serves to speed up decision making and put the respective people in their respective fields of competence. If there is a defense issue, who other than the person running a defense faction could deal with it best? If there is a law issue, who else than the person running a law enforcement faction could deal with it? If there is an economic relationship issue, who else but a corporation should deal with it in the most efficient way? This would basically serve to make everyone be responsible for a certain field they're best at. Then again, you always have the chance to ask for the help of someone else, but this way, you're not forced to do so.
Macropolitical decisions would still be made in unity, but pretending that minor issues like an entry permit, a gun registry or a disciplinary action of one soldier require the attention of the whole government just to make 13 people 'happy' renders our efficiency to well... Bundestag level.
