Question: how many ridings do you want in total? How many per region?

I'm thinking between 200 and 225 total, with the cities having a lot (up to 30 or so each), the Old Kingdoms a middling amount each (8-15 each), the rural ones in the Southeast a small ammount (4-7 each), and the Northern Expanse no more than 3.

[gopprogressive 1,063]

Sounds good!

[Patine 35]

Did a little work on this one, finished the scenario.p4e file. Here are the initial issue stances; tell me what you think.

Some subsidies and grants for local business, but also encourage investment.

@

//Environment

Preservation of Hutali's wild areas, even at the expense of human development.

More national park land; harsher penalties for poaching and 'dirty' industry.

Protect national parks and endangered species; agree to international initiatives.

Economic concerns are of greater importance than environmental ones.

The Food Chain favours human development above all others.

@

//Foreign Aid

We need to acquire vastly more foreign aid through whatever means necassary!

We must advertise our nation as a worthy recipient of more foreign aid.

Foreign aid is essential to our economy and standard of living.

We can subsist on current levels of foreign aid. We must make do.

We should begin to wean ourselves from dependence on foreign aid.

@

//Human Rights

Rewrite Bill of Rights to create liberal set of inviolable and inalienable rights.

Enforce UN Charter of Human Rights with stiff penalties for violation.

Write the UN Charter of Human Rights into common Hutalian law.

Observe basic human rights conventions, but reserve certain exceptions if needed.

Security and conformity come before strict adherence to human rights law.

@

//Industrial Development

Put vast funds into industrializing Hutali. We need a modern country!

Give tax incentives and government subsidies to encourage industrialization.

Encourage foreign investment to build up industry.

Industry is good if it happens, but it shouldn't be a government priority.

Discourage extensive industry! Stick to our agrarian roots!

Provide generous government-funded food and medical services to refugee camps.

Some small measure of aid to refugees, but we must focus on our own.

The refugees can stay for now, but foreign aid workers can provide food and supplies.

Relocate all refugees back from whence they came, regardless of international law.

@

//Religion

Religion only divides us! Outlaw organized faith!

Allow all religions to be practiced freely and without government favour or bias.

Religion is not an issue for a secular government.

Grant freedom of religion, but favour, and only grant tax exemption to, Christianity.

We must embrace being a Christian nation! It is the faith of the majority!

Greatly increase taxation and allow a deficit so we can pay for needed programs.

Increase taxation on the rich and businesses and allow a deficit.

Encourage tribal equality through media and education.

Tribal equality is not a big issue right now.

Bring back the genocide!

BTW, GOP Progressive, I'm working on that marked map for South Guanjin, I should have it ready soon.

[gopprogressive 1,063]

Patine, I'm thinking of narrowing the map down to 17 regions as it will make the scenario a lot easier to do from a creator's standpoint.

[gopprogressive 1,063]

Northern Expanse

Twangolo

Ligada

Gitega (Old Kingdoms)

Butare (Old Kingdoms)

Ruhengeri (Old Kingdoms)

Ubangi (South)

Gitarama (South)

Katanga (South)

Ngozi (SW)

This could certainly work. The names are very good, too. The pop seems a bit high, though; most African countries are low-pop, save a very few, like Nigeria, Egypt, and South Africa. Even as a fusion of national concepts, that number of people still seems a bit high for the continent. I think it has significantly more people than you gave Alexandria.

[gopprogressive 1,063]

Well the key is that this is a merger of the various countries involved, and while Hutali has a large population base- it remains desperately poor.

I've actually decided to raise Alexandria's Population to 150-200 million (though this will be for the 2013 scenario since Alexandria will expand to include an additional 50-75 million people).

[gopprogressive 1,063]

And- what should the distribution of seats be per province?

[Treasurer 28]

Northern Expanse 8

Twangolo 22

Ligada 30

Gitega (Old Kingdoms) 14

Butare (Old Kingdoms) 16

Ruhengeri (Old Kingdoms) 13

Ubangi (South)20

Gitarama (South) 12

Katanga (South) 14

Iganga (SW) 9

Mubende (West) 21

Tukana (West) 16

Arusha (West) 12

Kasai (West)10

244 seats in total.

[gopprogressive 1,063]

Hmmm, I seem to be having some weird issues with the ridings file not recognizing the parties for some reason. I'm going to send it to Treasurer and see if he can fix the bugs.

Also do you want party list candidates or actual names? Also- numbered districts (as in the US) or named districts?

I'd prefer both named candidates and constituencies, but if it's too much trouble, it's alright.

[gopprogressive 1,063]

All right, I did manage to fix the ridings problem- and I think I can do the one with names of districts and candidates.

[Patine 35]

Okay, now that I've done my Washington Senator scenario for P4E+P pretty much, I'm going back to this one. I just need to finish the ridings then I'll let GOP Progressive take care of issue centres and it should be ready for playtest.

[matvail2002 803]

Cool! Could you please send me beta when you are finished?

[Patine 35]

Plan to get some work done on this one, South Guanjin, and a new one based on a Spanish American-inspired Republic (essentially a corrupt 'banana republic' with a progressive and a socialist party challenging a corrupt governing party in an exploiting corporation's pockets, with maybe also a religious or military-based far right party running as well). These are my three projects for fictitious micronational PMFE scenarios.

[gopprogressive 1,063]

With the Kony 2012 campaign, this scenario deserves resurrection.

[Patine 35]

That's very true. I did start on the ridings some time ago. I suppose I should finish them up. You did much of it. Other than ridings, what needed to be done?

[gopprogressive 1,063]

Party logos.

[Patine 35]

Party logos.

Is there anyone left in the community who still does logos?

It's not done yet, I'm afraid.
