I hereby order the creation of towns.
The intent of towns is to create outer communities around the Capitol, Hamilton City. It is the intent that these will remain small community based projects which serve a purpose for the industries of the server. This also allows players greater responsibility in governance. It is not expected that towns will grow into cities to compete with Capitol.
APPLICATIONS
A player can apply for a town under a town applications forum. It will be the DoS’s responsibility to bring applications to vote in cabinet. No circumnavigation of this policy will occur, the player must apply for a town and be assigned an official townsite in order to be recognised. No town applications will be accepted in other circumstances.
What we are looking for:
- Comprehensive Town Plans
- Applicant's building ability
- Activity
- Keenness
Applications will be made available in the coming days.
If a cabinet member applies for a town, they will be excluded from deliberations and decision making. We want everyone to have a fair opportunity, they will be decided on by merit.
FORUMS
Town forums will be situated under the Department of State node like so:
Department of State
- Town Applications
- Town Reports (DoS only)
- Town Name
- Town Name
- Town Name
- Town Name
The mayor will have admin perms over their town forum. In this forum, they can create a constitution and a list of town by-laws.
BY-LAWS
Towns can create by-laws. They can edit specific areas within their jurisdiction.
- Build Height Limits. (No more than 30 blocks high, no exceptions) (Enforced by the DCT).
- Plot Zoning. (Enforced by the DCT)
- Local elections + Council formation (if any). (Run by Mayor)
- Plot Pricing. (Actioned by staff)
- Town Constitution. (Enforced by the DOJ)
- Town Building Regulations. (Enforced by the DCT)
TOWN OWNERSHIP
The successful applicant for a town will assume the role of mayor. There can only be one mayor (No co-mayors, any deputies are not recognised by the Federal Government) and they will be entitled to the town region ownership and a tag on forums and discord. The mayor uses their own money to fund the town. Whether or not they chose to elect a council is up to them. This mayor cannot be deposed by the council (unless specified otherwise by the town constitution), they own the town.
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
The Department of State will be tasked with conducting town reports once every month. Where there is a significant lack of progress in building town amenities, as decided by Cabinet, the mayor may be removed from their position if they cannot provide reasonable justification for the lack of progress. Town leadership cannot alter how a federal government department conducts business in their town. Evictions, arrests etc will be performed as per usual. Town roads and amenities are treated as public land.
TOWN THEME
Town themes should be contemporary, realistic, and serviceable by road. Medieval towns are therefore unsuitable themes.
TOWN INDUSTRIES
Each town, in order to give it a purpose will be allocated the following industries. It is expected that the town endorses and promotes these industries.
North: Farming
South: Fishing
East: Mining
West: Logging
