General Reform, less clarification, amendment.

Preface: A General set of reforms which will aid in clear and stable governance, is of course up to amendment by council.

Article I: Any form of legal council for someone does not have the same obligation to bring evidence of crime to law (as to preserve attorney client privilege)

Article II: For the specific case of council size limit determination the prior sub size based method will be used. (I have noticed some debate on the exact size so we shall determine that afterwards in a separate proposal)

Article III: It is illegal to remove evidence of a crime, violations shall be considered a high crime.

Article IV: The Minister of Library shall be merged under the Wiki team as with the wiki team there is minimal clear authority for the minister of Library which would not be filled by the Wiki team, we do not need a position to exist at such a level which has no clear job set out for it.

Article V: Any council member who is considered to have a clear “Unique personal conflict of interest” on a proposition cannot make a vote which favors their personal conflict of interest, forced to either abstain (which mathematically reduces the total votes needed, for example if two abstain a 2 out of three voting majority passes something, this in parentheses is an explanation of existing law, not a proposal) or vote against their interest. “Unique personal conflict of interest” is defined as a conflict of interest that is not inherent to simply being in council, is not clearly held by over 2 fifths of the population, is not simply due to one's party, and is not held by a majority of the government.

Article VI: A minister of economics shall be created at the economies release. This minister shall hold authority over the regulation of companies in a similar way to that the minister of political regulations holds. They can also make economic decisions, this is as not everyone in council is a fellow economics nerd and many vote against things they don't understand out of principle, something we should respect. The Minister's decisions on economic policy are able to be overridden by council, and the minister cannot overrule decisions by council, including economic directives for them to carry out. These economic decisions shall initially be taxes and spending, but by majority vote they can be given new authorities. Council can give a broad set of economic principles to be followed if they choose, though if a clear economic crisis occurs said principles can be suspended until council can give new directives.

Article VII: If there is a time where a position has no minister, possibly through resignation, the president can take on authorities of that position until a new minister is appointed. This is so vital government services can continue during such times, and is intended as an emergency stop gap measure.

Article VIII: The Minister of political regulations is abolished and authorities are transferred to census due to rarely being needed and being closely related to the census results (Former minister of political regulations recommendation, due to reddit issues they resigned on discord)
