Create a subrule of Municipal Authority called Regional Meetings:

There is a kind of event post called a Regional Meeting, which may be created by applicable Canton, Prefecture, Burgh, and Township actions. Where it is created by such an action, it is considered to belong to the Region in which the City Architect who performed the action has a city. If their city has no Region, a Region is created and the city is placed into is as part of the action of creating the Regional Meeting.

Regional Meetings, by default, may only be voted on by City Architects who have a city in that meeting’s Region, and the Quorum of the Regional Meeting is calculated as being a Quorum of only the City Architects that are permitted to vote on it.

The Response Format of a Regional Meeting is a valid Voting Icon as per the rule Votes, and the Regional Meeting is treated as a Votable Matter for the purposes of the rest of that rule too. A Regional Meetings is found to be Popular rather than Unpopular if it has been open for 48 hours or longer and the only valid vote that has been cast on it is a single FOR vote. A Regional Meeting is found to be Popular if it has been made by the only City Architect that is permitted to vote on it.

A Regional Meeting may be ended by any City Architect who is permitted to vote on it, so long as it is either Popular or Unpopular. A Regional Meeting that has been open for one week or longer may be considered Unpopular and closed by any City Architect.

If the majority of EVCs contain the text “Just the basics”, ignore the rest of this proposal below.

Create a subrule of Municipal Authority called “Separate”:

Separate is a Township action which can be done at any time as a weekly action by any City Architect that has a suitably high Municipal Authority level to have unlocked Township actions. When a City Architect Separates, their city is removed from their Region.

Create a subrule of Municipal Authority called “Invite”:

Inviting is a Burgh action which can be done at any time by any City Architect that has a suitably high Municipal Authority level to have unlocked Burgh actions. When a City Architect Invites, they create a Regional Meeting which declares that they are Inviting, and declaring which City is being invited. Only cities without a Region, or cities in a Region that contains no other cities are considered valid targets for this. If that Regional Meeting is closed as Popular, the City Architect who owns the targetted city is permitted to remove their city from its Region then add their City to the Region of the Regional Meeting. They can do this a single time within the 168 hours following the meeting’s closure.

Create a subrule of Municipal Authority called “Expel”:

Expel is a Burgh action which can be done at any time by any City Architect that has a suitably high Municipal Authority level to have unlocked Burgh actions. When a City Architect Expels, they create a Regional Meeting which declares that they are Expelling, and declaring which City is being expelled. Only cities in the Regional Meeting’s region are considered valid targets for this. If that Regional Meeting is closed as Popular, the targetted city is immediately removed from the Regional Meeting’s region.
