What about a gauntlet that requires gems of state reps. And it has a 50% of working and a 50% of killing whoever is wearing it. But when it works, it has a 50% chance of making things worse.
Intriguing perhaps some additional rings could be forged simultaneously to enable greater synergy through delegation of power to representatives of various species states, parties etc
No, communism has a centrally planned, state-directed economy. Only some executive functions are regional, but the power also lies at very few people in the end.
But they all have to pool military power and resources to maintain an active army. So I guess we'll just have to select one Secretary General who leads them. /s
Except every Soviet was eventually dominated by one political party, with no competition against it allowed. That's a far cry from "everyone just elects the best representative for their region no parties"
Maybe centralizing that much power under one person is folly and we should split up the powers of civilian head of the military, head of the executive branch of government, veto power over the Senate, and whatever other powers have encroached into the office.
At that point the most powerful and influential people in all the land would be remaining cabinet members, the FBI, the CIA, the Pentagon, and the SCOTUS.
Congress would become nothing more than a budget and accounting office for our true overlords, and the Senate would have no tiebreakers.
