Donothingism
Donothingism is a de-facto political ideology marked by prolonged inactivity, quitting during their term or just neglect for the position.
Causes & Analysis
Donothingism can be adopted through any means, but typically it involves burnout, outside factors, drama or disinterest in the position.
In the Presidency
Notably, most do-nothing politicians have been presidents. This could be because the president both acts as a punching bag whenever something goes wrong, but also has little to no authority or power to do anything. This combination seems to create a perfect environment of not being able to do anything and not wanting to do anything.
Furthermore, getting into the presidency has been easier than most other positions, and even non dedicated troll candidates can be elected.
For example, Koi Goodfox won the majority during the September 2024 Presidential Election First Round, despite being a literal homeless anarchist who joined a week prior and a self-described "not serious" candidate, and inactive people such as Abbi Dukakis (with less than a hundred messages in the discord over 3 months) have almost won presidential elections.
In Ministries
Donothingism is also common in ministries that are seldom used, such as the Ministry of Defense (has only been mobilized a handful of times),
Prevention
Wanda-Rosting Clause
A "Wanda clause" or "Wanda-Rosting clause" has become a common addition to legal texts, first appearing in the Urbis City Charter under Kino Volchok.
A wanda clause outlines specific protocols for ousting inactive or quit players from important positions, and most importantly provides a way to impeach a person from a position without their presence in the case of inactivity, and typically lowers the bar for impeachment in the case of inactivity.
Paid Registration for Elections
Paid election registration was imposed by the Faru Government around 1926 to slow the flow of "joke candidates'. The policy has seemed to be successful at deterring non-dedicated candidates who would have been do-nothing politicians.
