You probably should have made that a little more clear, considering the scenario, which it might have been if your post had held more material. Granted, Bing didn't have any grounds for that takeover either since he hadn't participated in any of the journey (even if you had been on the same boat).

@All Bark, your hints seem a little too strong.

Wait is bing talking to Starry Artemis and Marcuswhere was he before i dont remember him being near them

Bing? I thought he was the one rowing your boat!

" He had made it himself and for himself, though it looked like it could use a few more people to make it more useful. So before casting off, Bor looked around for a few more minutes if anyone needed a bit of hope. "Hey! If you don't want to die get in!""

He made the offer, then suddenly everyone piled into "a" boat.

I'm inundated with distractions at the moment, so I will have to reread this material later to fully retain it, however, so far it looks very interesting.

1) How often are Representatives elected?

2) Political groups have their own territories? That's interesting certainly, what happens when one falls out of the top three (or suffer any shift in their ranking, really)? Does their territory suffer any consequences?

3) The Political Group voting system, particularly the down-voting ability, seems exploitable. Couldn't, with the appropriate organization, voters target key group members? Perhaps it would be better if only members of that Political Group could down-vote, or something similar. So that their interests are protected from external tampering. Or only people residing within their area, or something.

4) Given that they hold legislative and executive power, I imagine the Council has created a lot of bureaucratic organizations and "Federal Departments" to delegate the responsibility of carrying out laws to? Are these hypothetical bureaucracies malleable? Changing often, or remaining stagnant? And, finally (for now), I imagine they have Ministers/Administrators/Department Heads as well?

(I'm not firmly acquainted with politics myself.)

@Ellri, numbers. Okay, I believe you.

I'm currently writing my reply to you, Guilty Spark, in Google Drive, so don't think I've forgotten about you. ;) It's going to be a somewhat long post when I'm done, but I hope it will be enough, once I have finished.

Take your time, I imagine this will be information everyone will find helpful. It might even find a place on the website.

I don't know how I'm going to exit this public library, I may end up walking again. This time...in jeans!

I want to know how the political system is organized, the responsibilities of Ambassadors/Local Representatives, how Representatives are elected/chosen, if there are any other important government officials worth noting, how many branches of government, is there a "presidential" type figure or are decisions made by the Ambassadors/Representatives, what international relationships have formed/are forming, what is the agenda and motive of each nation involved. I'm looking to make a politically oriented character, and I'm curious.

Edit: Right now I'm caught between Investigative Journalist, Wealthy Entrepreneur, Political Aide, Public Relations Agent/Manager, CEO of a local corporation, and oddly enough a (maybe downtrodden) Librarian.
