Information:

Founded in March of 2007, A World Power was once one of the largest regions in Nationstates, and is currently re-building to its former glory! We as a region hold no specific political ideology, but nations organise themselves into Great Houses of likeminded individuals. The leaders of the three largest Houses form a Triumvirate which is responsible for leading the region. We believe in open elections for all citizens of our region and operate a one of the major defender forces in the game, which protects regions across Nationstates from invasion.

The legendary Rucket Park is full of polls, spam games and nonsense chat, our Role Playing Pavilion is the place for all your roleplaying needs, and the A World Power Center is where we get to know each other.

OK, I want a region wide debate over what we can do to improve the region. New features that we can bring in, aspects of the region that need work, potential legislation.

I feel we need to set up a legislative advisory body to complement the senate made up of all members.

I think we need to expand the currency system and make it more worthwhile (I have a few ideas regarding this and I would like to set up a 3 person Committee for Commerce and Development)

I think that there is great potential in the roleplay section and how it interacts with OOC sections of the forum. I know Torchevon has had some radical ideas on this too and I would like to incorporate parts of them into the region. (I may link this in with other sections)

I want to expand the RDF and do some intensive officer training courses and perhaps having a slightly different chain of command to decentralise things a bit more. I want AWP to be able to throw down the gauntlet to invader groups and really spice up the invader-defender conflict.

you want radical? Lets toss out the current system, go to a presidential system. He will choose his secretaries or ministers of defence, treasury, ect, for his term in office. Something like that. We have no 1 leader to trump all other efforts. That would be awesome, ESPECIALLY if you get to be the president!

Advisory councle never works, What we have for that works, people can contact there senators why do we need to make a new group with everyone involved, That is just adding more layors for the sake of making layors.

As for the currency system here is my view on how to fix it, Kill it. IT is pointless and accomplishs nothing.

As for RP Intigrating it with the rest of the forum would be bad, ive never seen a way for that to work

sorry, not sure how any of thats helpful to discussion or will help increase activity.

The currency system works in other regions and is good fun, but they apply it in different ways so we need to look at them and see what we can take from them.

Centralised government may be preferable in real life but this is a politics game where everyone wants to be involved in the politics of it. At the moment, that part is completely removed from most members of this region who dont have a clue whats even happening in the Senate right now. For me that needs to change and people want to be involved in that side of things.

I've never got involved in roleplay but I definatly think theres a greater role for it. I wouldnt want it to affect other parts greatly but it would be nice to complement the regional goings on with some relevant roleplay once in a while, it would make an interesting read in the newspaper too.

Ive never seen the currency system add anything to a region, Ive seen it alot of places but never seen it do anything besides be used for an elitism people saying "I got more random currency then you so im better then you"

There are ways to increase activity. like just bringing new people, also some for of continuity not always changing. Make good rp, good discusions good forum going. Go and start advertising on the rmb for people to come. Look I want this region to stay unique and fun, I dont want to just go around and mimic what all the big regions are doing. It may be nice to have a region with 500 or 1000 people and a few hundred active on the forum, but it will be with out the charm that makes it great if we just look like gatesville or taijitu

Well that has kind of deflated my ideas. Personally though I would like to see the forum currency continue in active use but with more events like the lottery and more useful business as these would provide an easy access point for new members to join and be active in. Also the idea of combining it with the RP is not a bad idea as currently there is no way of deciding how people can develop things or increase their military without just stating it. As for brining more people onto the forums it will be hard as what we do here does not massively affect the region or how people run their nations. What we need to do is make the forum exciting and fun with interesting and mature debates for some of the older members of the region, for example we could have a current events sub-forum in the World Power area and maybe one for gaming discussion.

Making currency used for RP is bad, bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad etc. I hate trackers and this is worse then trackers, there is no good way to decide what people can do and cant besides just being realistic and having fun and knowing if you start breaking the rules and ignore people saying it dosnt make sence for your nation to have something people will start ignoring you.

If someone has a way to make currency be something more then something to gather to show how much better you are then newbs tell me, cause ive never seen a region do it right.

Making to the forum have more stuff will bring more people, you need to decide how much you want it to be based on the game or independent of it.it may seem that im just complaining for complaining sake, but I want this region to be good not huge and with pointless additions. the buisness seems to have failed do to inactivity of the people who started them. Doing something just to do it is never a good idea

Why do you like the president idea? Cause it removes more democracy from the region, makes the goverment seemingly more seperate from the people and more above everyone, or cause of its ease of coruption and the ease of witch it can go rouge
