Join the new world

As part of the consultations taking place under the recently passed Referendum Act, I propose replacing the current system with a three part system based on a constitutional monarchy with a bicameral legislature.

The current post of Constitutional Dictator would be merged with that of the King, and the eUK monarchy would be enshrined in the constitution. The King, Woldy, would hold the game mechanics post of Dictator, a position that the government would commit to defending militarily. The King would be responsible for enacting laws passed by the legislature into game mechanics law, where appropriate; and for appointing cabinet ministers on the orders of the Country President, which he would not be allowed to ignore.

The lower house of the legislature would be the Congress elected through game mechanics.

The upper house of the legislature would be a small chamber formed of appointed members, who would be chosen for their exceptional political abilities. Most members would be permanent, unless dismissed. Permanent members would be appointed, for elife, by Congress. Conditions that would have to be met to be eligible for appointment would be:
Citizenship in the eUK.
At least 12 months experience in eRepublik.
Ownership of a newspaper in which serious political articles are published at least annually.
Membership of an eUK military unit.
Swearing an oath of loyalty to the King and the constitution.
Not having been involved in any dishonest activity while in a previous political post.

Potential permanent appointments to the upper house would have to be approved by the King. Permanent members of the upper house would be able to be dismissed by Congress.

Members of the upper house will also be allowed to stand for election to the lower house (Congress).

The Country President would be a member of the upper house for his or her term.

The King would be an observer member of both houses, but would not have voting rights.

Laws could be proposed by any member if either house, and voted on separately by each house. The legislature could also elect to accept initiatives from members of the public. The final version version of any law would have be approved by a majority of those who voted in each house. The legislature could conduct its business in private via message threads, or alternatively choose a more public method such as through newspaper articles/comments.

The Country President would be elected through game mechanics, and would have the right to select a cabinet and order it's appointment by the King.

Representation and promotion of the nation abroad would be a joint responsibility of the King and the Country President.

This updated proposal includes aspects of the system proposed by Sir Humphrey Appleby. Since both my proposal and his seemed to have been received positively by many people, I thought that some combination of the two would be the best option. I have also included some minor tweaks intended to clarify the spirit of my proposal.
