| Message | We think we should change the region names, maybe even to Protectorate, but not something bulky like Independent Protectorate. The same with Article 3-- We prefer it shortened: Grand Assembly would be fine. The President should probably be changed to Prime Minister, since he chairs the cabinet. There's no need to get more complicated than that. |

| Message | Grand isn't a nice word; it lifts the titled person above most others. |
| Date | 22:39:21, September 14, 2005 CET | From | Populist Liberal Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Amendment #1 |
| Message | True...I wouldn't mind just "Assembly" if people want to move beyond "Parliament" because it sounds too plain-vanilla for them. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
