It seems the majority has spoken, we will now be operating at a democracy for the foreseeable future. It will be a rather slow process to start, dusting off the forums and getting people back in the dealings of our crazy politics but it'll be good and spice up some activity. We have avoided a civil war here in Canada, something that could have potentially ruined our little community and now we must stick by our decision. Shortly, my team and I will be presenting a series of ideas to congress so that this government, nor any from the future cannot implement a dictatorship without the consent of the majority of the player base in eCanada.

Why no Option C?

Reading over the comments in the referendum article, I saw quite a few that mentioned the lack of a Option "C", something along the lines written here and here. The problem with these is not the idea, but the method of getting there. If Option A had been selected, there would have been a civil war over who got to choose the next leader and how the dictatorship was to be run. There was no guarantee that any "C" option could have been a reality had it won the votes in the referendum, hence the only two options, A: any dictatorship or B: democracy.

The Remainder

Now that we've decided what government we want, there are a few final things I want to go through quickly.
Firstly, since all the drama has died down, I would like to implement a few social/fun events, some players have already volunteered to help, so if you're interested, shoot me a PM! The more the merrier.

Secondly, and probably self explanatory, the rest of the term will likely hold minimal excitement in ways of wars and such for the time being as we get on our feet and build a treasury for PTO defense/crazy Canuck adventures. We recently finished our TW with Ireland and owe them back their taxes, roughly 35k.

Lastly and most importantly, we have one final issue. Rylde, while being removed 290 000 CC from the country accounts. Now, 90k was removed after he was overthrown so I've sent a ticket to the admins and we will get that money back into Canada's accounts (plus whatever repercussions he faces, if any).
Now the remaining 200k he technically took legally in regards to the game system, however he has declared he will keep 100k for himself (claiming he's owed by eCan) and that he will keep the 100k to make sure we don't throw Canada into a dictatorship. The first 100 000 we can afford to replace if that means Rylde "calls it even", however the second 100k is being held ransom, which is unacceptable, all he needs to do is deposit it in the country accounts. Then if the money is wanted, there would have to be congressional approval. This is not Rylde's money, it is Canada's money, let him know that.
