Was just wondering if there are any players of
Shores of Hazeron here who might be interested in forming a cooperative venture.
For those who haven't played it, Shores of Hazeron is a first-person empire-building game in which you form a civilization on a single planet and eventually branch out into space. For more information, check out the website I linked above.
Update:
Here are the forms of government. Gonna put up a poll for it; the poll won't necessarily be binding, but it'll be a nice estimation of what people would like to do.

Subordinate positions are assigned by any higher positions. e.g. Members of Parliament can assign Governor and Mayor positions and El Presidente can assign any position, except the General position. El Presidente or the General can remove the other from office by assassination.
The assassinated victim respawns holding no position.

Oh, I forgot to mention: During empire creation, we can name the ranks anything we want, so if, for instance, you dislike a certain government type due to its titles, don't worry about it, they can be changed.
