Autropolis - Statement from the Secretary Chancellor
Statement on the Introduction of the Frontiers & Strongholds Update | March 29, 2023 - Statements are not archived |
Autropolis, as a region that values stability and sovereignty, has decided to become a Stronghold. This means that Autropolis will have a Governor, a new position that acts as a backup founder and can appoint a successor. The Governor will also have access to some founder abilities, such as changing the region type, password, and World Factbook Entry. The Governor will be elected by popular referendum should they meet the criteria established by our laws.
However, becoming a Stronghold also requires some changes to the regional constitution and our associated laws. The regional government will soon begin drafting a new law or amendment to the Autropolis Constitution to handle lines of succession for the Governor. The law or amendment will also clarify the roles and responsibilities of the Governor and how they relate to the other regional authorities.
The Frontiers and Strongholds update is expected to have a significant impact on the NationStates world, especially on regions that participate in R/D gameplay or rely on recruitment for growth. Autropolis hopes to adapt to this change smoothly and maintain its status as an ancient, quiet and peaceful region.
