A form of government would be great for Olympus. The admins would have a load of work off of their hands and they could work on much needed map design and features. The government would be able to solve a whole lot of disputes.
The government could be its own faction, hopefully replacing R&R or just as the 4th faction.
We could start actually filling up the Federal Reserve with real money from taxes.
All the scats of Kavala could get on Welfare and spend all their time in Kavala.
You could get people to monitor real estate and make inactive players pay a property tax.
We could set up a court and take things from police brutality and false imprisonment to civil disputes between players to court.
Lawyers could be an actual profession and could be called upon during arrest to dispute charges and after imprisonment to file a suit against the APD.
We could allow players to own businesses if they file the right paperwork and it gets approved.
People could apply and take tests to become lawyers.
A panel of trusted and learned Judges could be appointed to courts. Civilians could create a case against a Judge if they get corrupt or bias.
There could be different courts for different types of cases, judges could be specialized into these courts.
Courts would not effect someone being sent to jail by police, a person would need to get a lawyer and file paperwork to start a case for false imprisonment.
The courts could decide what happens to an officer if he abuses his power. ie suspension and $1 million compensation to the victim.
If we wanted to get even deeper into it we could open Legislative and Executive branches of government. I think that Judicial and some other small departments would be plenty for Olympus at least for now.
But, this can only work if the people put in charge are competent, unbiased, and un-corrupted. Obviously a couple of bad apples will make it through but any type of incompetence, bias, or corruption that can be proven without a reasonable doubt should result in a swift black-listing from any government position except being a Lawyer. Abuse of powers should never happen, even if its the head admin or if its a joke. Courts should also be serious and people mocking the system or not taking it seriously should also be removed. A list of criteria should be met to give certain sentences to avoid bias.
Personally, I would stop playing as rebel on civ or as a cop and turn into a Lawyer full time. I'd make some good money off of it too.
