Democratic Reformist Party

The Democratic Reformist Party (DRP) was registered on 12 June 2020, by its party leader, Krix. It was a centrist, liberal political party. It was de-registered on July 31, 2021 for breaking server rules.

The party re-registered again on April 29, 2022, under the leadership of xEndeavour. The Party's former leader, Krix, disapproved of the new registration as he didn’t permit End to use any of the branding, icons, etc.

History

Krix Created the DRP because he thought that the constitution was broken, the Congress was dysfunctional and there were disputes over presidential elections.

Policies

At the time of their dissolution: their policies were as follows:

Constitutional reform

1. Explain the role of each branch and the powers and positions within the branch as well as the jurisdiction and authority of each branch within the constitution.
2. Create a line of succession within the executive branch in the case that the president and vice president are unable to fulfill their duties.
3. Creation of a bill of rights within the constitution that can only be changed with agreement from all three branches of government. The following criteria must be met: presidential consent, a super majority in favor from congress and consent from the judiciary.

Branch oversight

1. Creation of congressional committees to ensure departments are doing their job to a satisfactory standard and that all employees in that department are being treated fairly.
2. Congress shall host questions time for the secretaries and vice president to attend in order for congress to be updated on the ongoings of the government and to ensure that there is transparency within the government.
3. The ability for congress and the courts to overturn an executive order if it is found to be in violation of the constitution or found to be executive overstep.
4. Creation of citizen petitions for laws to be repealed or overturned as well as for government officials to be removed from office a minimum of 15 signatures are needed for the petition to be recognised and reviewed by courts where judgement’s/recommendations will be made.
5. Have Presidential Elections in place as soon as the necessary legislation is passed this includes making sure the checks and balances of each branch are made clear in the constitution, there is a clear path to remove a president from office, if they are in violation of the constitution and once the elections are offset from congressional elections as to ensure stability.

Expanding the private sector in hamilton city and employment initiatives

1. The ability for players to sell commonly used blocks to the DCT that will be used in construction projects.
2. Look into privatising buildings and businesses around hamilton city for example the car dealership. This would be done in an effort to create more commerce and trade between players.
3. CreatIon of public work schemes that are easily built like roads which are to be built by contractors and to be done in survival as to create more employment. (under DCT supervision)
4. Creation of a business owners board that will advise and suggest ideas to the government on ways to improve commerce on the server.
5. Rezoning and reorganising Hamilton city and spawn so it is better for business, centre spawn around a central market square or cbd with limitations on the amount of buildings you can own in the area and sell them at public auction.
6. A new elected position of city mayor to oversee these changes as well as to focus solely on the city and its development.

Emerald trading

1. Look into emerald trading and a foreign export shop that would simulate a foreign country in which we could sell goods emeralds
2. Taxation of the emerald trade in order to pay for government grants.

Stabilising the government

1. Look into the government budget and how funds and taxes are being spent, set up a committee in congress directly responsible for supervision of this, disallow the executive branch from spending more than one 2000$ in government funds without congressional approval.
2. Government cooperation initiative based around the budget working with the DCT on each individual department’s budget as well as cooperation on the other goals with the executive branch.
3. Creation of two new departments to assist in government transparency and the execution of government in more timely and organised manners.

• The executive department- assists the president and vice president in all their tasks when requested, handles communication and documentation (staff and budget is up joint congressional and executive talks)
• The speaker’s department- responsible for assisting the speaker in the running of congress and communication between the representatives as well as transparency and other documentational needs)

The point of creating these two new departments is to increase employment options, help new players understand how the government works by taking up low level shadowing positions and helps the government work better overall as the higher level executives can delegate some of their tasks to staff.

Legal System

1. Law Transition Period which will mean there must be a period of transition most likely one week until any new laws go into effect. NOTE: this may be bypassed with emergency supermajority acts of congress.
2. The Creation of A Bar Exam for lawyers as well as multiple law levels/qualifications. That would be rewarded after certain requirements are met this will give more senior lawyers access to higher courts such as the supreme court where qualified legal representation will be required.
3. Give Judges the Ability to summon a jury on difficult or challenged rulings in which he may feel biased or unsure.
4. Powers of the Attorney General to be defined and made clearer within the constitution, as well as the creation of an Attorney Regulatory Board which will handle all law qualifications as well as other matters such as assigning public defendants.
5. Public Defendants/ Attorneys of the law to be able to be applied for by low income citizens whose net worth is under a certain amount they would then be defended in court for a cheap fee or for free.
6. The creation of a Supreme Court of Justice comprised of 3 Judges on a panel and overseen by a Chief Justice, this court will act as an appeals court as well as handle serious matters such as constitutional law and oversee impeachment trials such as the removal of elected officials from office this includes all elected members of congress, the vice president and eventually the president.
