Council of Ministers

[Arran]

This is an idea I got from Tropico 4.

What is a minister?
A minister is someone who is in charge of a certain department or branch of a system. In the case of CIT there would be a minister for each team, major features, (like housing and business) some community related ministers and some staff related ministers.

What would a minister do?
This depends on what they're a minister of. The main goal of a minister would be to seek to represent and improve whatever it is they're minister for and they may also have access to special permissions relating to that feature.

How would someone become a minister?
Good question. We would have to develop some sort of application and trial system. Also many people would probably go inactive or not take their position seriously so we would need to replace a lot of them.

How big is this idea?
This depends whether the community will actually engage themselves in the idea or not, anyone who's been around for long enough will see how many ideas have come and gone (like how many times we tried to have a  government) because nobody actually cared about them. Because most ministers will get some form of special permissions then people may take it seriously enough for it to be a success.

What will this actually change?
Again this is down to how well the community get involved in this. Hypothetically, the ministers will have the power to change the course of the entire community and they will have special permissions that even staff don't have, they will be the closest thing to a government and non-staff ministers will become permanent trial staff with potential to be promoted. The only limit will be the ministers themselves.

What ministers will there be?
This is where your ideas are needed, I can't come up with them all by myself, I'll start the list off:

Thank you to those who made suggestions, especially the ones that were added to the above minister list. There is a minister board and you can apply for the ministerial positions, applications will be looked at in a few days. New positions may be created at a later date.

Also there is a ministry building in San Fierro that's just below the hospital, each minister will have an office that contains a CITy zone so they can customise their office, mapped by Cherry.
