Apologies for the weekend away, but I am glad to see we have a map, we have a start and we even have a few people actively pestering me for a start!
The one thing that the new game needs is a Government. What follows is a bit of an explanation of what roles must be filled in the government of the glorious Apolytonian Vikings.
We need 5 separate positions filled, and it is these people who will prompt the game along. We need a President, whose job it is to actually play the game and host "turnchats", where everyone can play along with the President and have their say in what goes on. A Vice President, whose job it is to post an election nomination thread every month and to take over if the President needs a break. A Foreign Affairs Minister, who ensures all deals and relationships with other civs are known at all times, and negotiates with them for the best trading agreements. A Supreme Military Commander, who commands the nation's scouts, soldiers, navies and air forces. Finally a Domestic Minister, whose job it is to arrange worker actions and detail what each city builds.

If you have ever wanted to join in a Democracy Game but have feared of how much time is required, or you felt you weren't the greatest strategist, or you just weren't sure what to do - this is the perfect time to start. We start with a scout, a settler and a worker, so there is very little to do in term I, and it is the perfect way to start a game.
If you are ever worried you don't know what to do, never fear - the veterans are around and will help out. And if they don't - who cares?! This game is all about the fun and testing new ideas out, not necessarily the winning.
So, if you are convinced you want to run for a position, tell us for what and who you are.
If you are only half convinced, go for it! You will soon see it was the best decision to make. 
And if you don't think you can do it, then nominate yourself - absolutely anyone can do these jobs right now! Get in quick whilst the goings easy (you can't get easier than a new game, can you?), and I promise you will learn a HELLuva lot, make good friends with those who play civ best and just generally up your post count DRAMATICALLY. How else do you think Trip and MasterZen made it to Emperor so fast? Democracy games.
So, nominate away....
