I seem to actually be running for Sovereign. Who'da thunk it? Well, first, let me congratulate my fellow nominees: I know you would all make fine Sovereigns. That said, I guess I'd better lay out what would happen if I actually won, and anticipate a few questions: What do you intend to do? Hopefully not much. The game of interregional politics doesn't interest me, so I'd delgate such matters to the appropriate ministers, and forward all embassy requests to the Grand Assembly for approval or rejection. Domestically, I intend to maintain the status quo. Most people seem content with that, and I see no need to rock the boat. What about all that Dictator stuff on the RMB? My campaign is mostly silly. Back during the PRL, I ran a mock campaign for Dictator to tweak the powers that were, and figured "Why not use the same idea again?" as a joke for this election. Then I had the idea, what if Emperor Norton had somehow been elected President of the United States? What if, despite his delusion, he did the job strictly according to the law? That's what I'll go for. Surely there has to be more to it than that. There is one thing that is dear to my heart: getting a ban on the Gang of Five made a matter of law, rather than of policy. I tried to get a ban written into the constitution, without luck. I proposed a law that met the same fate. Noises were made about a trial, but nothing ever came of that. So, if elected, I'm going to try again for a constituional or statutory ban. That's about it. I'll be glad to answer questions, if anyone has any.

It is after all the duty of the sovereign to choose which direction Lazarus will take. Reasonably involved. My main concern is keeping Lazarus safe, secure, and stable, and so long as the Ministers don't drag us into a war, I'll be content to let them do mostly as they please, so long as I'm kept informed of their plans and have veto power over ideas I deem too risky. It's the same as I am IRL: if I have confidence in your abilities, I'll set the goal, and let you decide how to accomplish it.

That would depend entirely on how they broach the matter. If they fail to acknowledge the great harm they did, if they are arrogant, then I'd be against it. I'd probably be against it even if they made a fawning apology, simply because I don't trust any of them. But, if a majority of the Grand Assembly were in favor of it, I suppose I'd allow it.
