Re: Everything but the Diplomat votes: I don't want to set a bad precedent, but I'll go ahead and allow those votes for something structured like this (or the next vote planned), where the vote is three versions of doing something and one version of not doing something.

It's not directly possible within the mechanics of Vicky 2.

Unless an event/decision is coded to do it.

We're currently an aggressive military power who are out to conquer europe and rearrange global politics to fit our merest whim. But we're happy to have the cannon fodder we throw blindly into the death traps of the alps be from any culture and religion and still let them vote and hold property.

Unitas wants only orthodox greek cannon fodder to do it's looting and murdering for it. Much worse.

We want Orthodox Roman cannon fodder to do the looting and murdering. What ethnicity and nationality you were before becoming Roman is immaterial.

Also yes, 100% more metal album covers flags and old school triumphs. Also we'd bring back the pleasing Red on the maps.

DAY 3: REFORMS
On the off-chance we unlock another reform while the Capitolino is in power, which should it be?


The polis is a fine institution for local governance, but why is it the basis for the elections to our upper house? Why does Trebizond get as many upper house assembly members as Thrace? Madness. Let us elect our upper house based on population instead.
##Support the Federalist Paper Miller


Now, look here, people are starting to ask questions about all of these 99.5% election results for our party. If we switched to a proportional system of representation, we'd look a lot more legitimate, while still winning by wide margins.
##Support the Semi-reputable Jurist


Reform? Reform? As the Capitolino, we are the stewards of the most perfect union of the world! If the Upper House makes noise about further political reform-- ignore them!
