You kind of made this difficult to quote, so I'll only quote the questions.

(looks like something I didn't do research on)
The Integration Corps would have mentors for Media, Culture, the Legion, the Deshret, and other areas that could use veterans to help train new people.

^^^????? explain x.x
A person pretend to be accused of breaking a crime, the Scribe of Justice prosecutes them, the Elders listen to the arguments and make rulings, etc.
We'd have someone from the Oracle cover the trial and publish it.

The Public Advocate position I have in mind is more of a watchdog who can bring the government to task if they do illegal things, and watch out for citizens who break laws and need legal assistance.
They'd be kind of like a permanent Special Prosecutor.

I understand this working in real life U.S with millions in populations but we don't have that many deshret to begin with...and now a few elective representatives to rep the deshret who represents everyone else.....i don't like the sound of it. I understand competition makes deshret people more inclined to work harder, but really when you don't have enough authority to do something unless you become an elected rep, it's only going to make it harder to create activity.
No. Like I told Cormac, the upper house would basically be an advisory body on steroids.
What I'm envisioning, still hammering out the details, is a body of about seven to ten people, who pass legislation, treaties, and appoints, and then pass these onto the Deshret, since the Deshret is open to all citizens.
What I'm thinking, and I'm not too sure about it yet so if I walk back on it please don't get pitch forks

, is making the Deshret open to any and all citizens, and the other body being our legislative body.
Basically, we'd pass everything through our representatives and then the citizens would ratify it.
Make sense?
