A World of Mud and Sweat - A Future Nation Development Quest

That's it for the vote, quite a tight vote but the Masses are off to the races. Update probably a day or two.
Scheduled vote count started by Dadarian on Mar 29, 2021 at 10:17 PM, finished with 32 posts and 25 votes.
 
I forget my laptop charger on the other side of the nation, so I have to wait until it's mailed back to get the update up.

Whoops
 
2078; The Regime Falls
Overview: The cries grew louder and louder, the people plead and screamed. Like the eternal river Nile, the many places and squares throughout Egypt flooded with life and vigor, an ecosystem of discontent. The regime's responses escalated in line with their failures to crush the protests. The policemen, who so selfishly betrayed their people in their shortsighted graft, were publicly embarrassed in the streets. The conscripts, originating from the poorest, could not shoot their own and joined the chorus. Libyan mercenaries were insufficient, too few and too poorly armed to keep back the waves of popular anger. As foreign parliaments and military cadres dithered and disagreed on next moves, the people organized. The regime could not keep track, it's ancient mechanisms (both software and human) inflexible and unyielding. But in the end, the regime could not succeed, and whilst the Europeans, Indians, and Chinese concerned themselves over the viability and safety of the Suez, Egypt began a new era.

((Sorry for the delay, finally got my charger back))

Vote: [4ish hours are allowed for discussion; voting opens 20:00 PST]
Leadership
[ ] Across all peoples, with modern social media there needs to be no singular leader. Every man a pharaoh, every woman a queen.
[ ] From the academics; the literary, artistic, and intellectual heart of Egypt. A new era dawns.
[ ] From the People's Parliament. Formed in Tahrir Square and representing the vast interests of the many representatives dispatched, this body is the soul of this new era.
[ ] From the colonels. Ever the land of history, the military has always been politicised. The most intelligent colonels threw their lot in with the protesters, and instilled a key level of discipline that the protestors required.
[ ] (Write In)

Final Straw
[ ] Death of the President; firefights became increasingly common, but the regime and the military rallied around the person of the President. When a bomb exploded in a certain car, that rallying point disappeared, and no successor had the will or sway to keep together the powerful men who defended the regime. A house divided could not stand, leaving thus a new Egypt to be born, free at last.
[ ] Surrender of the Regime; the President could smell it on the wind. Change, death, poverty, and decline. A patriot, he knew that for the best of this nation, to continue Egypt's rising star, the regime must fall. Thus was organized in Switzerland a meeting between the people and the regime, and (relatively) peacefully end. From this fertile dirt, a new Egypt grew, free at last.
[ ] Collapse of the Finances; international condemnation saw public sanctions and private boycotts. What work there was ground to a halt and bank accounts were frozen. When soldiers were no longer paid, the regime's elite fled to parts unknown. With no head, the regime withered and Egypt was free at last.

I hope I am reading and doing this right and now we get to play as a pharaoh probably a constitutional monarchy but still its good to be king

With the collapse of finances under the former regime, few will look fondly upon it, and this will hopefully forestall a intransigent military, which is immensely powerful in Egypt.

The People's Parliament shall strive to remove the yoke put upon the Egyptian worker and fight for their rights!

Some kind of anarchism/direct democracy thing maybe. Go wild with the chaos of it.

Don't think the vote is open yet.

One of these two. the first has the chance for easier interference, but is something I like(if it could work perfectly without problems, and be properly fair), and the second is less likely to be interfered with, but promotes a type of elite.

I agree with @Mr. Sandman that Collapse of the Finances would give the revolution the most legitimacy both at home and abroad.
