Citizen #22:
Miestrâ Schivâ | Provincial assignments, to my mind, should reflect as far as possible two aims:
1) keeping the various provinces approximately (but not strictly) equal in population;
2) grouping Talossans into sub-communities based on culture and geographical proximity. Cezembre province, for example, is working perfectly at the moment, and we should not mess with success.
If I were to consider any provincial reform at the moment, it would be the fusing of Maritiimi and Port Maxhestic into a single province (as was in fact the case before the Revolution). This would hasten the day when all Talossan provinces were eligible to elect a Senator and thus kick off the bicameral Parlamînt. But that would be a matter solely for the people of MAT and PMX to decide for themselves - the constitution is very clear that the central government cannot screw with the provinces on whim. And it would also need a constitutional amendment to start off with a four-person Senäts (the current minimum is set at five).
Also, I really do like the idea of handing out talossa.com email addresses - we used to have penguinea.cx emails back in the old days. Perhaps our Database Administrator could report on the feasibility of this?
