While posting the new constitution thread, I encountered a lot of spelling errors
anachronisms. Parts of the constitution we do in a completely other way in practice. Therefore I'd like to suggest an update for several issues, and also propose some new ones. My intention is to poll them in a multichoice poll issue per issue. But first: discuss!
Proposal 1:
Eliminate the difference between the rights and the duties of an official. The choice to list their duties under one of these two categories seems arbitrary to me. An official's rights are his duties, and vice versa.
Proposal 2:
Add to the Director of Science paragraph under duties (or whatever category):
Proposal 3:
Change:
in the DS and DPO paragraph into:
Proposal 4:
Add to the the AT paragraph:
I would add that because the justices haven't been very active besides on the matter of impeachments, and most of the time there isn't enough time before a turnchat to hold a court hearing if an order isn't legal.
Proposal 5:
A stronger version of proposal 4:
Proposal 6:
Change:
into:
That should solve the "worker placements need to be polled" discussion. ![Big Grin](https://apolyton.net/core/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Proposal 7:
Delete:
out of Article II and insert the following under DIA duties:
That should sette the discussion about the DIA making unconstitutional base name polls. ![Big Grin](https://apolyton.net/core/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Proposal 8a and 8b:
Because our map will soon be fully explored by a sky hydroponics lab, the DEI will lose half of its current job description. Therefore I would propose to merge DEI with DFA, and let the Director of Foreign Affairs handle covert operations as well.
Delete:
and add under DFA: (proposal 8a)
or, add under DPO: (proposal 8b)

Proposal 2:
Add to the Director of Science paragraph under duties (or whatever category):
*Deciding what to do with alien artifacts
Change:
*Requesting buildings with the Director of buildings productions
*Requesting buildings and military units with the Director of buildings productions.
*Requesting buildings and military units with the Director of buildings productions.
*Requesting base facilities to the DIA and governors
*Requesting base facilities and military units to the DIA and governors
*Requesting base facilities and military units to the DIA and governors
Add to the the AT paragraph:
*Acting as guardian of the constitution. In the absence of justices informing the directors if they're not following the constitution such as not polling major decisions or posting unconstitutional polls
Proposal 5:
A stronger version of proposal 4:
*Acting as guardian of the constitution. In the absence of justices informing the directors if they're not following the constitution such as not polling major decisions or posting unconstitutional polls.
*Can veto any order if it is illegal or too major so it had to be polled beforehand.
*Can veto any order if it is illegal or too major so it had to be polled beforehand.
Change:
Directors must poll all major decisions, such as deciding what science advance to pursue, what to build in a city, or where to place the workers in a particular city. However, they can act on minor decisions without polling the people, such as what to do in the event of a mindworm attack.
Directors and governors must poll all major decisions, such as deciding what science advance to pursue, whether to construct boreholes, or whether to construct a secret project. However, they can act on minor decisions without polling the people, such as what to do in the event of a mindworm attack.

Base Names:
The alpha talent or the commissioner will pick 5 names from the name thread and will put them in a poll where a name for a new city can be chosen. This poll has to be open for at least 2 days. The name with the most votes will be chosen for the base and will be scraped from the list. The same counts for landmarks. If someone wants to name a place without a landmark a poll has started about giving it a name or not. This poll will also have minimum of 2 days.
