Hasan II
Los I - Los II - Los III Progenitor: Los I |
Kaiser Hasan II is the regnant Kaiser of Shireroth, ruling from 4637 ASC (April 16th, 2012). He was named by Loki IV as successor a few days before his abdication, after just under a week of campaigning and submissions by those vying for the throne (including Conglacio and another competitor from the Kalir bloodline, Elijah, son of Daniel), requested by Loki in this thread. He introduced his reign with an impressive backstory, revealing himself as of joint Hyperborean-Babkhan heritage. His regnal name is a reference to Hasan I and aims to "restore the honor of this name."
Pre-Coronation Manifesto
Scott's promises were many:
Your Niftiness:
I would like to be Kaiser. Only for a short while - probably a month or less - but there are several things I would like to do:
- I'd like to juggle around some positions to make sure they're all held by the most qualified people.
- I'd like to rearrange our secret forums, especially the Imperial Advisory Council, so that they are places where private discussion can actually occur, as opposed to either free-for-alls with everyone (like SEP), or places to get offended about who did and didn't get in (IAC), or confusing places that only make sense to Erik (SPECTRE).
- I'd like to publish an official policy on dual citizenship (the short version is equal rights for dual citizens, except in sensitive military positions, and unless they blow it) and an official policy on racism/hate speech (the short version is zero tolerance, even for trolling, from here on out).
- I'd like to switch from a free-for-all democracy to more of an aristocracy, with a small group of core citizens similar to Babkha's Emirs having more say in setting direction with everyone then having a say in how that direction is pursued; as opposed to the current system where everyone fights very publicly about what our direction should be.
- In-game political manuevering against Elwynn, combined with out-of-game cooperation and assurances of friendship. Possibly an alliance with Ashkenatza for exactly that reason.
- More effort to distinguish ourselves as a Questionably Benevolent Dictatorship as opposed to Babkha's Obviously Malevolent Dictatorship and Antica's Chaotic Neutral. For example, banning slavery in Shirerithian lands if this hasn't been done already.
- More imperial support for Shirerithian colonies on Meekras, including support of Hesam's plans to expand the role of Meekras in recruitment.
- More style and pizazz. For an example, imperial decrees that look more like this or like this than like this, plus more consistency in the style and numbering.
- Continuing to negotiate an end to the rebellion in Lakhesis along the lines I've discussed with you in private, with the exact policy depending on the Lakhesians' view.
- Other, seeeeeecret things.
I admit I was impressed by Elijah Danielion's speech, and if he becomes Kaiser I look forward to working with him to implement some of these same policies.
It remains to be seen whether he will live up to them, especially given that he also promised a short reign.
