Bimestrial Census: November/December 2K3

[Phoenix the Risen]

I apologize for my lateness this Bimester, I have no excuse, but hopefully my thought provoking questions in the Optional section will make up for it. Keep in mind that there is a shorter form at the bottom of the page without all the long boring stuff. Any citizens who do not complete one of the two Census forms by the January 1st deadline shall be deemed "Inactive" and shall suffer my wrath.20 People answered the Census last Bimester, and 18 the previous Bimester. The list is at pub9.ezboard.com/fshirero...27&stop=27 for your reference. If you are not on the first list, then unless you joined in the past month, you must take this Census to retain your citizenship. If you are not on either list, then unless you joined in the past month, you must apply for citizenship at pub9.ezboard.com/fshirero...ralization before you are eligible to take this census.So Fill out either this top form (the complete one with all the politics and fun personal crap in it) or the form at the bottom of this post (the brief one, with only what we need to survive). You need not fill out both, and I happen to have made the brief form quite compatible with the method of citizen record-keeping used in the Ministry of Immigration, of which I am quite proud. So anyhow, have fun, and please, feel free to criticize and leave suggestions wherever you deem worthy. Thank you all : D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!COPY EITHER FORM - I'VE FORMATTED IT SO YOUR SUBMISSION WILL LOOK ALL SPIFFY COOL. WRITE YOUR ANSWERS OUTSIDE THE CODE (generally after the punctuation) AND DON'T DELETE ANYTHING INSIDE THE FORM. WORKS BEST WITH EZCODES TURNED ON AND SMILEYS TURNED OFF!

I love you all! *little mini-Phœnices jump everybody*6.In your opinion, what is/was the best micronation and/or when was the "Golden Age" of Micras and/or Shireroth?I'll just say that Shireroth kicks ass and that's all that needs to be said. I was not around for the "Golden Age" if there was one (politically, that is).7.How's life in Shireroth lately? Quite good, despite the current slowness (we're down to 80ppd from our 120 about a month ago). I am having some fun with the organization of the fora, and am quite proud of my relocation of the Ministry of Immigration and Naturalization to its historic forum. I've got some more projects on the way for the Ministry of the Interior and/or that of Information, as well as a few for Kildare. Soon I will rule the world... but not...8. Okay, so we all understand that Shireroth is not, in theory, a democracy. However, considering the ratio of people with voting influence to the overall population, it seems to be hovering awfully close. Considering this situation, in your opinion... (answer one or more - and feel free to elaborate)a)Should the Prætor be allowed a vote?The Prætor is not a title of Nobility, so he shouldn't be allowed to vote, but I like the system of him being able to break ties.b)Should Ministers be allowed a say in the Landsraad?There are a few elements of the Ministers' jobs that require Landsraad support, as well are there Landsraad measures that affect the Ministries. For these reasons I think they should be able to speak in the Landsraad.c)Should Ministers be allowed a vote?As I said, there are some acts that require collaboration between the Ministries and the Landsraad, but these acts are not so important that the Ministers receive equal say as the Nobles. I do however believe that Ministers should have some sort of influence in the Landsraad. Possibly each Ministry could hold one or two votes, three at the very most. With this the Ministers could voice their concerns regarding issues that may affect their operation (such as the MoMA being able to vote on the penal system proposal or the MiniEx being able to vote on treaties and the olive branch proposal).Alternatively, there could be a council of Ministers not much unlike the Landsraad, in which the Ministers could vote regarding Landsraad actions, and then the Prætor could act as mediator between the Council and the Landsraad, carrying the decisions of the Council to the Landsraad. Then there would be reason for the Prætor to have a vote - that of the Council...d)Should there be a non-voting title of Nobility (e.g. a Count)?By definition, a Noble is entitled to membership in the Landsraad, so a non-voting title of Nobility would be oxymoronic. However, I believe honourary titles of nobility within a Duchy or Barony should be up to the Duke or Baron thereof.e)Should there be a checks and balances system at least between the Landsraad and the Ministries, if not with the Kaiser as well?I am a strong proponent of checks and balances. I try to incorporate them as much as possible in my proposals to the Landsraad. I think that there should be some way that the Ministries could influence the Landsraad (see above), and also, I think there should be at least some check on the Kaiser. True it is that Erik is a benevolent monarch, and many of our past Kaisers have been as well, but there is always that anomaly. We should have legal precedence for actions such as the Letifer rebellion in cases that the Kaiser goes mad with power, or is just a generally horrible ruler. I do not think that our precedence should be "Erik heals all", because for all we know, the LIZZARD KING OF SHIREROTH could end up taking the throne and pushing us all around. I do not know exactly how we could do this, but I think that there should be a way. People do have inherent evils about them, and we can't just lend our blind trust every time. ((No offense was meant to Erik by this rant))f)Should the Kaiser be under a Constitution?Basically, my feelings on this are YES. See above rant for a reason. Also, I believe that if we are to keep this in the traditional manner, there should be some written law that outlines it, even if it is only "The Kaiser is Supreme; The Kaiser is Law; The Kaiser may call a Council of the Dukes; The Kaiser may appoint an Heir; There are no rights." Such a document should be as permanent as the nation itself, and be written for that purpose.g)Should citizens have rights?No, the citizens should have priviledges. If we do come down to a Constitutional Imperial Republic, then the citizens should have some priviledges granted by the constitution (basic), by the Kaiser (a bit more specific), and by all others above them. There should always be cases that the priviledges may be denied. I do not know what the priviledges should be, but they should be there. Even if they are just "We allow you to EXIST."h)Should Nobles be allowed to determine an independent form of government within their territorries?In a Noble's land, he is effectively Kaiser. However, his government should not be independent, and should not conflict with that of the Imperial Republic itself. A nobles government should be subject to the Kaiser's word, just as everything else within the country.9. On a similar note, what do you think of...a)The Charter/Lawbook System?A very interesting system. I like it, but I still think the charter itself is flawed. It could be done better...b)The Line of Succession?I'm glad Erik explained it after awhile, because at first I just thought that it was just a definition of "this is my heir, the next is his heir, et cetera." However, now that it is defined as "If these people become Kaisers, then they are legitimate; this is the list of legal heirs"... I am even more disappointed that my name is not on the list. However, I understand Erik's hostility toward me, for I have been quite a bitch about the system lately... but I was not thinking to destroy it, merely to better it... I am sorry that we do not see eye-to-eye...c)The idea of having no Kaiser but Erik for a long time?This frightens me. However, he is a good ruler, and always has been. I do not fear for the country's well-being while he is in the throne. But I liked very much the variety of political philosophies we have had in the past few months, or year even, with our many Kaisers. I will miss that.d)The name "Imperial Republic"?I see it as an Ideal to be lived up to. Also as an oxymoron, for "Republic" implies without a King, and "Imperial" implies a Monarchy of sorts. But for that I like it all the more. It makes you think, and when you do, you agree that yes, Shireroth is an Imperial Republic. (I also love the acronym - - IRS)e)The Olive Branch Pact?Very good idea, but too Idealistic. Leads to corruption and dissent. Better that such agreements be informal.f)Austi Scot's Economics Simulation?I loved it and I wish I could understand it so I could continue it.... but I don't, so I can't. Damn.g)Shireroth's Militaristic History?I really don't know too much about it, but I have been reading up a bit on the Celestis legacy, and it really appeals to me. Too bad we don't have so many bad relations with active countries anymore. *clenches fists in front of face*10.Suggestions to make the Census better for you and/or me:I LOVED THIS CENSUS!!! MAKE MORE LIKE IT!!! oh... I made it... okay.11.Other:Signed,___X___ Joseph Strong, 1577 ASC Edited by: Phoenix the Risen at: 11/30/03 12:42 pm

Unless, again, they are nobles, no.d)Should there be a non-voting title of Nobility (e.g. a Count)? I believe that is up to the Duchies themselves. However, considering the already evident imbalance between nobles and non-nobles (the triangle used in most historical nations would be quite the other way up) I don't think it should become Imperial policy.e)Should there be a checks and balances system at least between the Landsraad and the Ministries, if not with the Kaiser as well? I don't think there should be a system, as these checks and balances can be implemented when and if they are needed. If a system is instituted however, it could become boring, and mean a loss of activity.f)Should the Kaiser be under a Constitution? Well, things'd be a lot more boring if zie was, wouldn't they!g)Should citizens have rights? Privileges, so when they are inevitably taken away, we can claim they are elitist snobs when they whinge about their loss of privileges.h)Should Nobles be allowed to determine an independent form of government within their territorries? Aren't they already? Isn't that what "autonomous" means?9. On a similar note, what do you think of...a)The Charter/Lawbook System? Easy to add to, and convenient for reference.b)The Line of Succession? Unnecessary, and quite hurtful to those not on it, as I have expressed before.c)The idea of having no Kaiser but Erik for a long time? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhh!!!!d)The name "Imperial Republic"?

[Rakesh86]

Sorry for having changed the Census - but I think I did what I was required ... =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-Form Two (Brief)-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=Official Name: Rakesh Maziar AckbarCurrent Citizenships: Shireroth, Babkha, HanoverContact: Rakesh1286@yahoo.com; Rakesh386-Alias: Rakesh86-Joined: October 2003-Residence: Brookshire-Position: Baron of Alexandretta-Title: Baron of Alexandretta-----------------Suggestions: Noen due to time constraints3.What is the length of your hair (inches or centimeters please)? Relatively short -less than an inch4.Complete the Sentence: If I were Yardistani I would shoot myself in the foot ... wait I already do that5.Who is your micronational hero, and why?? Shah Babak Kapav Mehr. Since I have been a Babkhan for most of my micronational life I have come to value the achievements this man has done in creating on of the most successful micronations of our time. He created a stable governmental structure (that transitioned from autocracy to democracy) and built a glorious cultural tradition.6.In your opinion, what is/was the best micronation and/or when was the "Golden Age" of Micras and/or Shireroth? The best micronation has to be Babkha, with Shireroth a very close second. In my somewhat limited micronational experience I believe the Golden Age of Micras was in the second half of 20027.How's life in Shireroth lately? Constantly exciting8. Okay, so we all understand that Shireroth is not, in theory, a democracy. However, considering the ratio of people with voting influence to the overall population, it seems to be hovering awfully close. Considering this situation, in your opinion... (answer one or more - and feel free to elaborate)a)Should the Prætor be be allowed a vote? Yes, I advocated this sometime ago and believe the current compromise (tie-braking power) is a step forward. However I envision a time where the Prætor can represent all non-nobles in Shireroth.b)Should Ministers be allowed a say in the Landsraad? Yesc)Should Ministers be allowed a vote? No d)Should there be a non-voting title of Nobility (e.g. a Count)? I don't think that is necessary but could be interesting.e)Should there be a checks and balances system at least between the Landsraad and the Ministries, if not with the Kaiser as well? Yesf)Should the Kaiser be under a Constitution? Yesg)Should citizens have rights? Yesh)Should Nobles be allowed to determine an independent form of government within their territorries? Yes9. On a similar note, what do you think of...a)The Charter/Lawbook System? I believe it is serving its purpose within the Imperial Republic.b)The Line of Succession? I believe that the Throne must not be one dedicated to a "line of succession" - the ruling Kaiser or Kaiseress should choose who is the Crown Heir. c)The idea of having no Kaiser but Erik for a long time? I trust in the ability of Erik to govern appropriatelyd)The name "Imperial Republic"? Interesting but could be clarified by simply saying Empire of Shireroth or something of the sort. e)The Olive Branch Pact? Excellent!f)Austi Scot's Economics Simulation? N/Ag)Shireroth's Militaristic History? N/A

I hereby close the Bimestrial Census for November/December 2K3.As of January 8th, 2004, the following are denizens past and present of the Imperial Republic of Shireroth.-Citizens with Minor next to their names have immigrated and not completed the Naturalization Process yet, and therefore are not required to take the Census until they become full citizens.-Citizens with Non-Citizen next to their names have not taken the Census for two Bimesters, and are thereby stripped of all ranks and titles. Non-Citizens must complete the Immigration Form in the Ministry of Immigration and Naturalization to regain their citizenship.-Citizens with Emigrated next to their names are by their own choosing no longer considered citizens of the Imperial Republic of Shireroth, and shall be entitled only to honourary titles.-Citizens with Inactive next to their names may be subject to loss of Rank and Title between the admission of the new Census and their response thereto.-Citizens with Active next to their names are considered full citizens of the Imperial Republic of Shireroth and are thereby entitled to no special rights.(Inactive) Alaina Mitchell:Quote:---------------a) Alias: Button Willow Moonb) Joined:9/15/03c) Residence: Lunarisd) Position: none---------------(Active) Alex Reidelberger:Quote:---------------a) Alias: Kaiseress Alexia Mors IIIb) Joined: 10/6/03c) Residence: Barony of Alexandrettad) Position: nonee) Title: Kaiseress------------------------------a) Alias: Alexandra Decensb) Joined: 10/6/03c) Residence: Barony of Alexandrettad) Position: Nonee) Title: none---------------(Inactive) Angie:Quote:---------------a) Alias: Angelleneb) Joined: Augustc) Residence: Goldshired) Position: none---------------(Non-Citizen) AnnMarie:-wiscogirl101(Minor) Ardashir Khan Osmani:Quote:---------------a) Alias: Emir of Raspurb) Joined: 12/8/03c) Residence: Barony of Elwynnd) Position: N/Ae) Title: N/A---------------(Emigrated) Ari Rahikkala:Quote:---------------a) Alias: Ari Rahikkalab) Joined: You have it in your records, I think...
