| Upon passage by the Congress of National Deputies it shall henceforth be mandated that all national municipalities shall have the position of Mayor elected directly by the registered voting residents of each respective municipality.

The Mayor, like the Federal Consul, will retain the right to propose municipal policies as well for passage by the municipal council. |

| Message | We must allow the residents of our cities to not only elect their municipal councils but also directly elect Mayors that will function as the executive branch on the municipal level. This is necessary is order to have our municipalities run in an efficient democratic fashion whereby the Mayor, as local executive, can enforce and implement the municipal policies created by the municipal council. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
| Random quote: Although I understand and respect the intentions behind the gesture, this is not something that is universally understood or appreciated, and it tends to give out a negative impression of our party. ~ Anton Weinreich, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party, pleading with his members to stop burning the national flag |
