Private Recruitment Act (Rough Draft)

President of DUAN
DUAN has a recruitment problem. We simply don't recruit enough nations to maintain our population. We have tried multiple methods. At the beginning of my term, I authored a bill that eventually became law to create a government Recruitment Board. That has not worked at all. I think the crux of the issue is involvement. I myself have been guilty of not participating in the system.

Another reason I am proposing this new idea is that DUAN is in a time of reform. We need changes to our government and our whole region, and attracting new members is a major part of growing the region and enabling us to maintain our government and activities.

Therefore, I am proposing that we privatize recruitment.

Now before anyone jumps on this and says corporations should not be running our region, let me explain.

Essentially, I'm suggesting that the government would accept offers from private individuals and companies to recruit for the region. Do companies exist currently? No. But it wouldn't be difficult to have some set up. Basically, someone would set up a thread detailing the company's name and purpose, and accept employees.

The government would select a company based on several factors: their staffing numbers, their ideas for recruitment, their experience, etc. I actually oversee the recruitment bidding and selection process being overseen by the Recruitment Minister, but that is up for debate.

A few issues I think we would need to address:
- What kind of rewards or expectations would be expected of companies? How would any rewards be issued?
- Could the companies be foreign? I know of several regions I could talk to.
- Who would oversee the bidding process (as I said before).
- Is this even a good idea?

With that, I'll open the floor for debate.

I have to say, if people wouldn't recruit for a free-to-join board, privatizing the industry isn't going to suddenly interest people.

Nobody likes to recruit, simply. It doesn't matter how many different ways you make it available, the only true way to get it done is hope that somebody like Birk, You, or I would be around to do it while everyone else watches.

Very true...

But that's why I want to somehow incentivize it. Because right now, there is no purpose. And in a pessimistic worldview, that new nation you recruit could take your Senate spot.

Also, that's why I proposed allowing foreign companies to do it.

I see. Perhaps your idea for offering rewards would help some?

I think so.

However, we would need to develop a reward system.

What about what Typhlochactas originally had in mind?

Maybe not the exact system, but something similar?

Was that the badges?

I didn't see those as much of a reward.

They may do more than you think, then again, I may be wrong.

Truly, that may just be the only thing we can do considering we're limited to a virtual game such as this.

I know...

But I'll keep thinking about it.

I'd love to hear others' opinions.

That's rather fair.

It could be something simple, like maybe if we started with the offsite game nights, we could let that person go first.

You know? Something simple like that maybe?

See, but these rewards have to be from the government.

So unless the game night is run by the government, the government would have no say.

A money system might work.

I'm not sure how to install it, though...

I have an idea, do like a rank incentive system. Like have 6-7 different ranks of recruiters and say you have to send this many to get promoted to the next rank. Ranks would also come with privileges of some kind

Good idea Aaraya!

However, (and this isn't necessarily criticizing you) we would have to develop those "privileges of some kind"
