Is there a way to make it more noticeable that you have a new message in your inbox? I thought usually the inbox button goes red or some kind of pop up/message would appear.

this would be helpful, as I didn't even realize I had two messages sitting there.

Preamble:
This document hereby defines the legislative body of The Imperial Legion.

S1 Composition:
S1.1 The government comprises of two independent bodies, the Executive, consisting of the Emperor and his cabinet, and the Senate.
S1.2 The Senate's positions are lifetime unless explicitly expelled by the Emperor or resign by their own accord.
S1.3 A Senator is either appointed or elected, there is to be a limit of maximum 16 Senators in the Senate.

S2 Role:
S2.1 The role of the Senate is to commission offices and regulate bodies that fulfill duties to The Imperial Legion (e.g. the Military, Arts, etc.), commissions must be agreed to by majority vote in the Senate.
S2.2 The role of the cabinet is to preside in these bodies and regulate Senate actions. The cabinet may choose to declare a vote of "non-confidence" and require Emperor intervention in the Senate.
S2.3 The Senate may choose to de-commission a task body by popular vote. The cabinet seat relating to the commissioned body as well as the commissioned body will be promptly disbanded.
S2.4 The Emperor reserves the right to overrule a decision by either the Senate or the Cabinet.

S3 Voting:
S3.1 All Senate decisions are to be decided by public vote. Senators may abstain from voting.
S3.2 A Senate resolution passes if there are more "for" votes than "against" votes.

S4 Amendments:
S4.1 Both the Senate and the Cabinet must agree to amend this document. Or, the Emperor must amend this document personally.

S5 Closing:
S5.1 This document serves as the Constitution of The Imperial Legion.

Also, the entire skin looks a bit hard on the eyes. Especially the small font when typing.

Very nice - I like this a lot. After a quick perusing of it, I would suggest removing the 16 member cap on the Senate. Being able to participate in the regional legislature is the best way to ensure that people have things to do and a reason to stay active here.

Would brightening the font help? And the small font while typing annoys me too... I'll see what I can do about it.

Perhaps dear colleagues and esteemed Majesty, but there should be some governmental reward mechanism for activity, perhaps the cap should vary based on population?

Agreed that we should reward activity but I don't see how a cap would do that. Maybe I'm just not thinking straight, since it's 8 in the morning here :P

@Durk: More active citizens will receive a position in the Senate, less active citizens do not.

@Trasillia: The Emperor is an all powerful body, capable of overruling the Cabinet or the Senate. He can be called on by the Cabinet to remove / adjudicate / warn people in the Senate.

To commission "government agencies" that do things, e.g. the Military.

They can also regulate / disband them.

this draft has numerous contradictions.
several things don't make any sense, such as any senate control over the military. why give the power to disband the military in a region like this?

I get the sense that senator simply means citizen, therefore their should be an executive space and a citizen or senator space. We shouldn't be facilitating scenarios where a senate is being overruled by an emperor, because that could make the senate look like a joke. Rather Durkadurkiranistan II should communicate what tasks he is willing to delegate to the senate, so both the executive and the senate can have their separate space.

Once Durkadurkiranistan II communicates this, I will move to create a document.
