Good morning, Exsilium. Your resident legal experts — Sonya Karimov and myself — are curious about those of you who have leadership experience. In the interest of looking toward a brighter future in which we Transports have a self-governing body, we're asking anyone who formerly held a position of command to answer the following questions.

If you're uncomfortable with sharing this information publicly, encrypt your responses or contact one of us directly.

1. What was your position? 2. How long did you hold that position? 3. How did you come to power? 4. Briefly, explain to us the government with which you have experience. Is there a written constitution of any kind? What are the laws like? Did you have other officials working under/around you? How many people did you hold authority over? 5. Are any of your former constituents/subjects in Exsilium as of this moment? 5a. May we have their names? 6. What do you think is the ideal form of government for Exsilium? 7. If a committee were to be formed in Exsilium with the intent of eventually creating a Transport-governing body, would you be interested in serving on it?

how long has your nation had the government you work for?

Coming up on 300 years, if you're talking system. Six years, if you're talking Governor.

it might go somewhere once all the old farts who preferred an empire die off.
any plans for this group to have open meetings if it gets off the ground?

[legal_eagle]

Yes. With snacks.

with snacks? you know, you should have just mentioned snacks from the start.

Don't tell me you're that cheap.

[commentboxtroll]

i'm not. i'm just going to freeload off your hospitality and likely not do a single thing to help.
