Looking back with fresh eyes, I do see now that some of the more radical changes I proposed may have been unnecessary, and I generally agree with everything said in the previous two posts. That being said, there are a couple things I'd like to comment on.
I still insist on some kind of legislative check on the Consulate's ability to issue Consulate Orders. The system could be something like, the Consulate issues a Consulate Order, it immediately goes into effect, and then a week or so later it gets voted on by the Council. This way, in emergency situations, the Consulate can act unilaterally, but the Council still has the ability to stop any Orders that many people in the region have issues with.
If we organize activity checks for Council Delegates and citizens at the same time, then that could eliminate some unnecessary hassle. This would require some good documentation of everything but that's more of an administrative thing than a legislative thing (outside of the scope of this thread). This makes a perpetual Council better because inactive Council Delegates can be removed without grinding the entire Council to a halt for a week.
