Minister (and other governmental staff) Duties
Well, while waiting for the final result of the poll on what positions we should have at start we might as well start discussing what the different offices shall do.
These are the positions with currently over 50% support
President
Vice-president
Science Advisor
Foreign Advisor
Military Advisor
Trade Advisor
City Planner
Imperial Expansion
Historian
Public Works Minister
Financial Minister
I know that some of this already has been stated in the Constitutional Convention
However, I think it is best to have a thread sole for this, or maybe a thread for each position, and just links to them from here. (That can be decided later). The entries in the Constitutional Convention about these jobs has been moved here. I might have added a few things, but I've not removed anything.
And remember these are just suggestions everything can change. We'll probably have to poll on some of the powers of the advisors anyway, so I decided to keep everything.
I'll post a second post in this threat to have expansion space if needed later.
