The Kinocracy
"The Kinocracy" or "The Kinoregime" is used to describe Kino Volchok's mayoralship of Urbis City, the events, and their set of policies and plans.
Background
Before Kino Volchok's rise to power as mayor, Urbis City was in shambles. The community was disorganized, and urbis was rapidly losing it's position as the #1 town in Faru, lacking behind Marketh and Providence. Kino Volchok, a resident of Urbis passionate about the town, ran for Mayor as an independent under a set of policies to revive Urbis and won in the September 2024 Urbis City Mayoral Election.
Policies
Kino's policies, and the kinocracy in general, was defined by a promise for a "Great leap forward" which included:
- The development of East Urbis,
- The creation of a town charter,
- A surveying & mapping project, road naming and a land audit,
- (Secretly) The creation of a Town Discord,
- The creation of city services, such as a fire department and hospital,
- Assembling the Urbis Urban Assembly on a frequent basis,
- Furnishing empty buildings and rebuilding ugly builds,
- Long term leadership,
- An industrial effort including a brick factory, public storehouse and supersmelter.
