Do you feel your needs are heard by our government?

Yes.

No.

If no, I encourage you to share your concerns below. I am in a position where I could be of some help. (As long as the requests don't fly in the face of her values.)

I work for our government now, you see. I want everyone to be heard, though, of course, we must all make sacrifices - some of us more than others. Such is the nature of living on a new planet.

Hi, sorry, I don't understand the question?

[The idea that a government should help the people it rules over, let alone that it might want to help, is completely foreign to her.]

[A new otherworlder government employee..? That's interesting. So far, the Otherworlder Ambassador was the only one Hijikata knew of.]

What is your position/role, if I may ask?

[While he's at it, he'll share his main concern, too.]

I'm not voting in your poll because I haven't actually reached out to the Mayor or anyone else with my current main concern, but perhaps it makes more sense to centralise these things through our representatives (such as yourself). I'm concerned about the lack of progress in exploring/researching/repelling the Darkness.

Our last concerted effort was the mecha beta testing a few months ago, but that didn't exactly end well, and so far the testing hasn't resumed, to my knowledge. How can we contribute to making progress?

It's not perfect, but no form of government is. I believe our needs are being met well enough, and with such a spread of individuals with differing wants and expectations, that's impressive in its own right.

There were some concerns raised recently regarding the needs of children who arrive here.

Particularly those who lack life skills to look after themselves, due to age or other circumstances.

I said no because I don't have any idea how to like tell the government what I need?

The last politician I ran into was the guy who was definitely not actually the mayor.

And what if I have not attempted to contact the government here?

With you onboard, anything that needs done stands a better chance. Are you happy with how it runs so far?

First you must tell me: what do you think makes the government of this world?

To my knowledge the only real leaders here would be the guild ones. Maybe the Mayor. What is the government you plan to deal with?

Before I answer your question, I must ask one of my own for clarification's sake:
What exactly would having otherworlders in government effect?

I do not mean this question in ill will, of course. We did not have a government in the realm I hail from, at least not within the span of my memory.
My understanding of how they work is very basic.
