Civic Object Component

The Civic Object Component allows citizens to propose, amend, and repeal civic objects.

The Civic Object Component allows citizens to propose, amend, and repeal various Civic Objects.

Types of Civic Objects

Once a Constitution is passed, new government policies are contained as Civic Objects in the government building they were created in. There are many types of government buildings, each with their own type of civic object:

• Laws are set at a SmallCourtItem or a LargeCourtItem
• Demographics are set at a CensusBureauItem
• Districts are set at a ZoningOfficeItem
• Elected Titles are set at a GovernmentOfficeItem
• Civic Articles are set at a CapitolItem or AmendmentsItem
• Election Processes are set at a BoardOfElectionsItem

Proposing Civic Objects

Clicking the "Draft" button will allow a citizen to propose a new civic object. Citizens can optionally begin a new draft to a civic object by clicking the "Copy" button which appears when hovering over the icon. This will bring up a dialog allowing you to select any civic object (past or present) to use as a basis.

By visiting the Civic Object Component on a government building that already contains civic objects, these policies can be amended or repealed. To repeal a civic object, click the red 'X' that appears when you mouse over the icon. To amend an existing one, click the "Revise" button available in the interface.

The buildings containing civic objects must remain placed and active for the civic object to stay in effect. If a government building is picked up, all civic objects contained on it come with it and they will eventually become disabled if the building is not replaced.

Civic Duties

Within a Civic Object Component, you will see a list of your Civic Duties. This informs the citizen what permissions they have regarding civic objects, given the current Constitution.The possibilities of different civic duties are:

• Apply Changes Immediately: Citizens given executive privilege can add, remove, and edit civic objects immediately.

• Propose via Election: Citizens with the ability to propose elections will be able to propose an addition/deletion/edit, which will then trigger a new election (using whatever Election Process that is defined in the constitution).

• View Only: If the citizen has no privileges as defined in the constitution, they may only view the civic objects by clicking on them and are not allowed to make changes.
