The Reichstag

[dr lameos]

If you need a minister of one of the states or something I could try my hand I suppose.

Let's see what numbers there are and where everybody fits best and muddle through from there. But I'm happy for whoever has real interest to have a role.

Consult with RM, but do it anyway. Its not metagaming as long as they agree with you, but then again...

One thing I will say is that this sort of thing will only function with the consent of the various lawful factions in Rheinland. The reason the Bretonian Government works is because all the Bretonian lawful factions support it. It doesn't hurt to have the various faction leaders double as Government Ministers, either, so they are always aware of what the Government is doing, and it doesn't step on any toes.

I agree, I did get Virus' approval yonks ago when I originally thought this up (back at the end of .84 possibly) but leadership/the mod/the factions have changed since then. That's one of the purposes of this thread, not as an "This is what we will do" but as an "This is an idea, does everyone like it?". I'm of the opinion that anybody who has real interest can be included, and faction co-operation is a key element. Also, military decisions would not be included.

First of all it would be the "Bundestag" not "Reichstag", Rheinland is a federal republic, not an empire.
Aside from that its a great idea, haveing some govermental representatives and some political roleplay...and elections:P
A representitive (or two for Berlin, Stuttgart and Hamburg) sounds good, as well as at least one from the lawful factions as well as The Bundschuh and the LWB, the last two have still very powerful friends in the Government, so they should have a place there too.

It's referred to as 'Reichstag' in the infocards, and has done since vanilla, and as was Germany's government between 1871 and 1942. However, I do agree that as Rheinland is a federal state, this name is a bit oxymoronic. On the flipside, it's not my call to change it.
