How would you each make information more readily available to the people?
How would you organize things differently from the previous terms (particularly geared toward Ninot and MWIA, but WB please answer as well as you have been active)? I do not necessarily mean relative to your previous administrations.
What direction do you see our Civ taking? Peace, war, growth, exploration, etc. What is your Vision for our future?

The directory is probably the greatest creation for finding information that I have seen. Special thanks definitely goes to Unorthodox for that, as he is a true visionary. AdaMada is going to maintain it again for this upcoming turn, but I suppose I can take it over. The directory is an invaluable tool for posting all sorts of information.
However, the directory, combined with a webpage that can hold all current graphs and data as well would be a magnificent thing. Granted, it is off-site and people may not be happy about opening up an extra window, but I definitely think it would also be an invaluable tool as a "One-Stop Shop for All Things Government Related." Many have complained about how difficult it is to find information, but I think combining all the stuff that Reddawg, BFM, Aro and others create is definitely the way to go. The directory could contain a "Current News" section at the very top, detailing the next turn chat, current save, links to various reports so it is all easy to find, plus we will only have to have 1 topped thread keeping track of all of this.
It would require cooperation from all ministers that hasn't really been seen before, as we haven't required them to publish reports or information, we usually relied on the President for a fairly simple report. This is something that I think we can change without much difficulty.
Organization
Organization at the moment isn't entirely too bad. Each department has taken it upon themselves to create sub-departments to divy up responsibilites. This is a fabulous idea, and I would definitely like to see this part continue.
However, one area I would like to see cleaned up and resolved is the city planner area. Regional Administrators are definitely the way to go, however I think a City Planner to oversee the whole situation would be neccesary (that way he can fill certain quotas. If the SMC asks for chariots, he can decide which province should build them, otherwise you will have every province trying to build them).
To resolve this, we need to determine how/when a province should be created. Once this is done, it makes expanding our empire and the creation of provinces kind of an autonomous process. If we can hammer out the process of "creating a province" (which we will definitely have to create more of in the future), then I would highly recommend we add this as an amendment to the CoL. Perhaps an amendment isn't needed? I'm just not entirely sure how we create provinces at the moment. As long as this can be handled by the City Planner in an efficient manner, I support whatever action that they choose.
That is probably the only organizational thing that really concerns me at the moment. Information-wise seems/will be covered based on the Directory and Webpage. Organizational-wise, the CP is the only thing I'd like the clarify as to how it works.
MoE was another issue. How much power should the MoE have over the treasury? However it looks like Unortho is hammering out the kinks in that position himself.
Direction of our country
I'm generally not a warmonger. I would definitely support peace and consolidating what we have captured in our most recent wars. I think another war of conquest at this point in time (After America) is out of the question. Granted, we want France, and perhaps we can go ahead and take them (as we don't want to be caught with our pants down like the American-Aztec war). However, we should focus on becoming a cultural power (and hopefully become a science power as well).
I do support limited wars, strategically "pruning" certain civilizations to gain something to our advantage. In this way, we can "milk them." Limited wars are something we can probably easily manage, and I do support maintaining a strong military presence, conquest or no conquest.
However, if someone does try to step on our toes, I fully support conquest (or the best we can do).
But the main thing I think we should definitely focus on is culture. We have a huge number of cities, and with all of them producing culture, we can really have a chance to convert cities to our side, as well as gain respect!
But I generally don't want to edit a whole post. People like to read up on the history of things and back track. It's also a type of accountability. So the only editing I would really do would be to change what a post points to (or correct any dumb spelling/grammar mistakes I might make!)

), and if the next president wants to, I think they should give it a try. Who knows, it might stick.
