I don't know how soccer conferences are normally structured

I don't think it would make sense for two seperate conferences to compete in the same competition, this isn't American sports where its the same country but being so vast that an east and west conference in the same league makes sense.

The MSFC and CEFA should have their own Championship series.

GFA have their own Champions League style competition.

Actually, every confederation would have their own. But ya know, activity problems and the fact that some nations don't like football as a sports (unlike in football heavy Gael) means that we might have to merge to things to get 32 teams.

I am worried that only Argean teams will not make 32 numbers.

Or just take what you have and leave it at that. Or get a hold of people in Argus and tell them that this is going to happen at some point. That's how Gael worked out.

Yeah, 16 could also work. I will work on TGs then :)

There are 14 active nations in the UAFA, with two teams you get 28 total teams that could compete.

So last night in DnD, the party managed to capture the elusive Night Swan, a vigilante democratic terrorist. They're now incredibly divided on what to do. They could turn her over to the Count for 3000 gp, but she's also not wrong for wanting to toss down the corrupt aristocracy and install a democratic government. Her methods are a bit directionless, however. Simply stealing from the rich to give to the poor and trying to be a symbol to the people won't be enough.

Democracy is overrated. 3000 gp is 3000 gp.

That's the argument of the one big hold out, Saros the Alchemist. Garmr is annoyed by her proselytizing of her politics (but she's a radical, what can you expect) but doesn't disagree with them. Garmr, Arnaud and Ulysses all fear that the zombie army that de Pompingnon controls is a bigger threat than corrupt aristocrats, even if they support the Night Swan's politics of democratization and emancipation of the slaves (Arnaud does not support democratization). Baird supports her politics completely (and her eyes lit up when she realized he was Redwing, defender of the working man). Rameau believes in her politics but doesn't approve wholly of her methods. They're a bit lost with what to do. She basically said "Make up your damn minds. If you are going to kill me, kill me. Don't torture me with your ridiculous arguing. If you turn me over to Bartelby, you'll create a martyr for the revolution. Vive la revolution!" They've locked her in Saros' basement with Baird as her guard. I want to see how that shakes out.

So I've decided I dont like my job and I dont like that I'm not doing something I love. Put in an application to go back to school for a degree in history and political science, though the minor of political science is a placeholder while I figure out the exact direction I want to go.

I cant wait to start:)

Just do the readings, write decently, and know enough about the subject going into class that you can make smart sounding comments occasionally and sound like you know what you're talking about.

Also, you really need to figure out whether or not the professor is interested in hearing their humble opinions challenged.

Government of French Charbagnia
Categories: French Charbagnia| Government and Politics


The French Republic of Charbagnia is a Unitary Semi-presidential Constitutional Republic ruled over by President Matthieu Porcher and Prime Minister Matéo Martel. The Parliament of the Republic is the official governing body of the nation while an independent Supreme Court maintains the law where the Executive or Parliament cannot.

What is French Charbagnia?

French Charbagnia, officially the French Republic of Charbagnia is a Unitary Semi-presidential Constitutional Republic, with elements of social democracy in a mostly multi-party system of governance. In all official capacity, French Charbagnia is a capitalist nation, but has practiced some aspects of socialism and centralized economic planning as a means to maintain the country.

Though a Unitary State, French Charbagnia grants considerable amounts of autonomy to subnational units, with Parliament purposely designed to only handle issues of national importance as a safeguard against overreach.

French Charbagnia has defined three branches to its government:

  • The Legislature: Vested in the Parliament

  • The Executive: Vested in the co-offices of President and Prime Minister

  • The Judiciary: Vested in the Supreme Court

In French Charbagnia, the President is defined as "the Head of the French Charbagnian State in all official functions, the Chief Executive, Commander-in-Chief of all Armed Forces, and Arbiter of the will of the Parliament". The President is not officially the Head of the Charbagnian Government, but does have the power to appoint or remove all Ministers of the Parliament subject to a vote by Parliament or approval by the Supreme Court.

The President of French Charbagnia, who has no official style, is elected via national election every 5 years and are limited to 2 terms excluding instances where a Vice President has served as President for more than half of their predecessor's term, in which case they are limited to a single term. The Prime Minister, by contrast, is an appointed position by the President, typically reserved to the person who can "command the confidence of more than two-thirds of Parliament". This means that party bosses of the largest party (or leading party of a coalition) is usually appointed by the President. A Prime Minister's term is only subject to the President and their ability to command the confidence of the Parliament, and thus has no explicit term limit.

Administrative Structure
As a Unitary State, French Charbagnia has no subnational territory that exercises independence from Parliament, though in practice the Constitution of French Charbagnia has granted significant autonomy and power to subnational units as a method of preventing an overreach of power from Parliament so soon in the country's existence. Therefore, the Republic is first divided into "Regions" that carry over the old state borders of the Charbagnian Federation. The Republic lays claim to four regions, Clermont, Maibeaux, Frébonne, and Soignane; although the Republic only is in de facto control of Clermont and Maibeaux. Regions have no government and are only used by the Republic to organize the administration of its territory. Under regions are "Districts", which do have local governments, these are followed by Municipalities and Communes.

Legislature

French Charbagnia's legislature is led by the Parliament, the sole national legislating body for the Republic. Presently, Parliament intends to assemble in the city of Maullon for its 2019 session, with plans to eventually establish a new permanent seat once the country has gained further international recognition. The Parliament is constitutionally obliged to assemble once a year for a three month period to handle the most serious of pressing national issues, for 2019 the Parliament intends to assemble from June through August. For the remainder of the year, the Prime Minister and their Cabinet take over legislating duties. The Parliament can be called back into session at any point of the year for no longer than two months on the orders of the President.

Parliament is divided into two houses, the lower Forum and the upper Senate. Both are directly elected positions based on proportional open lists, the only real separations between the two houses are their powers, where the Senate is granted the sole right to propose budget legislation, and in the terms of their members. Terms for members of the Forum are 5 years with no limits while Senators serve 10 year terms while being limited to one term only. Elections, therefore, are held in five year intervals. Presidential elections are also held on 5 year intervals. Elections in the French Republic are national holidays, held on Election Day which is every second Monday of April.

In order to serve within the Parliament, the Constitution mandates that all potential candidates be no younger than 20 years old, be a Citizen of the Republic, be a legal resident of the electoral district they wish to represent, and reside in French Charbagnia for a minimum of 10 years at the time of the election. Citizens at the time of the adoption of the Constitution were excluded from the last rule.

The Political Paradigm of French Charbagnia
French Charbagnian politics is split evenly between the political descendants of the Liberté pour les Gens movement, typically called Republicans (not to be confused with the informal demonym of Dormill-Stiuraians), and the Socialists led by the People's Socialist Democratic Party.

Republicans: The Republicans subscribe to a similar ideology practiced during the French Revolution of radical republicanism, a complete dissolution of the old aristocracy and the construction of an egalitarian society built on fundamental human rights. Unlike their socialist counterparts, Republicans do not believe in taking the extreme path to accomplish equality. Additionally, the Republicans intend to unite only the remaining French-dominant regions of Charbagnia and to create strong ties with the other Francophone nations in the Isles, most especially Suvurnia and the United Republics.

Socialists: In contrast to the Republicans, the Socialists want to completely and radically abolish all class barriers, and are willing to take whatever extreme measure is necessary to do so. While they agree the first step was to establish themselves with the more socialist-aligned French population of Charbagnia, their current aim is to bring an end to the ARRF occupation of southern Charbagnia and put a final conclusive end to the Charbagnian Federation to establish a socialist utopia state in the Southern Sea. Due to their socialist leanings, the Socialists wish to increase their ties to Thuzbekistan, Samudera, and Brulafi at the expense of isolating them from their capitalist Francophone brothers.
