@naruciakk @SuperDicq @kurimu @lucy i don't think its a flawless system but it has to be understood in the context that its basically assigning a limitation of influence on a state, and then turning over all particulars of the process to the state.

if a state wishes to just literally fucking sortition a candidate--it can do that. would it be retarded? probably! but they can do it. the federation doesn't decide how people do their shit, only how much influence they're mandated with.

i don't believe it solves the fundamental issue of one or two hive cities controlling entire states (something a popular vote does), but it wasn't really meant to do that so much as when we created it there were still arguments over who should be entitled to vote or not
