If the proposal to use Seti to move the palace fails, as it appears it most likely will, at the moment, I suggest that we conduct an investigation to find the best location for a palace in the following way:
First, we propose 4 sites to the public (including Macross city). Each citizen can choose 2 cities (multi-option poll) that he'd like the new committee to examine. The committee then examines 3 sites: the 2 elected sites and Apolyton, our current capital.
The process that will determine a city's score as a palace location is as follows:
The committe calculates how much corruption every city would suffer in each one of the three cases, calculates how many shields each city would produce for every palace location and sums up the numbers. The palace location for which the highest number of shields will be produced will be selected and then a bill will be proposed to use the next GL to move the palace there.
This method is based on the fact that the bottom line is not how much corruption our empire would suffer from in average, but how many shields it would produce. This is why it's best to build a palace in a location that would benefit the most productive cities, even if it neglects the less productive ones.
Should the public (that's you!) agree to the forming of such a committee, there still remains the question of who will be part of this committee. I for one cannot volunteer because I am running for FAM the next term, and if I'm not elected I will probably keep my job as RA of Ghengland if Ghengis doesn't reclaim his old job. Therefore, we need other volunteers - anyone?
P.S. Yes, I know there was once talk of forming a second palace move committee and nothing came out of it, but I have faith in this fine crowd and I believe we can do it right this time around.
