Public Services Office

The **Public Services Office** is a government-owned center of legislation. It is the site of many picketing riots, robberies, and general mischief despite its subordinate status as a law enforcement agency. On occasion even stray pets are found inside the lobby.

## Governmental Policy

Oahu is a city-suburb with an egalitarian government. Legislature is created independent of the public by the **Oval Office**, however, state representatives are recognized in the legislation process and do provide a means of voicing public opinions. Public opinion is an important element of the state's democratic views, but ultimately, judgment lies solely on the state board in Honolulu.

### Honolulu's Local Government

Honolulu's **Public Services Office**, despite its location in Mauna Kea, has been zoned as federal territory and only corresponds with Poipu Beach, Ewa Beach, and Aku'Hai Cove. The city of Honolulu recently suffered federal exile due to police exposure of banned foreign bubble blowers in an underground market. It is suspected this is a major source of the city's funding due to the economic duress following the closure of these markets. Henceforth, the city has been functioning as an independent city-state for a seasonal year and will be annexed when police investigation has been sufficed (via resolving tax expenditures).

## State Legislature

Due to recent federal inquisition, several houses of the state government have been in stasis until the investigation reaches a resolution. In the meanwhile, all governmental workers have been offered an absence pension plan, sans the Honolulu senate, whom of which, have maintained their duties as their work is imperative to the well-being of the state amidst this crisis. There are currently **num** incumbent senators who have not resigned service.

### Political Affiliation

There are three main political factions which seek to dominate the legislative atmosphere of the state. The two most competitive and dominant parties, the Kuhio Libertarians and the Sri Dyn Benevolents, share almost polar regards to governmental control and community involvement, however, both are stalwart proponents of a looser federal government. Apparently, both are proponents of controlled anarchy for various other reasons...

#### Kuhio Libertarian Party

**The Kuhio Libertarians** proudly display the Japanese character 'inochi' [life] on their representative seal, and indeed, their political figures stress freedom of expression as paramount to all values. However, where one draws the boundary between freedom and anarchy is often awry, and many suspect their ultra-liberal perspective is heavily fueled by a desire to distort, vandalize, and criminalize the local government. Their anti-federalist views are further suspect by their intense aversion to regulations on imports and exports, thus leading many to suspect this party is associated with the bubble blowing incident which provoked the exile of Honolulu city. Many proponents of this party also sport rather conservative views, ironically, forming an intriguing contrast with the facade they present to the public. Even worse, Yakuza bosses seem quite fond of this party.

#### Sri Dyn Benevolent Party

Perhaps the most widely favored of all political parties, the **Sri Dyn Benevolents** are a religious faction which promote family values, equality, and diversity in the political atmosphere. Their involvement with charities and celebrity-sanctioned events are amongst the many instances of their generous nature. However, many take issue with their highly conservative outlook which alienates the more socially depraved. The Sri Dyn party also displays an intense desire to radically alter the government, even to such extremes that local control would rest in the hands of their religious faction which aims to supersede legal protocol. To expound upon this confusion, party members do not identify with governmental monikers, but with sires and titles of their own. In all, their true objective is not to overrun government, but to be a halcyon for the "coming changes."

#### Popular Parties

There are various local parties which are constantly undermined and overlooked by the two main competitors, the **Kuhio Libertarians** and the **Sri Dyn Benevolents**, and due to this, many parties often resort to cheap gimmicks such as electing animals and supernatural creatures into political office. Many of the State's senators are often mistaken for the strays in the lobby and chased into the street. Needless to say, this strange and amusing tactic makes little to no impact upon their party's visibility.

## The Liliuokalani Charter

Due to recent infrastructure issues in the Honolulu Government resulting in the exile of the city of Honolulu, the state government drafted a treaty which enumerates conditions for the city's annexation. This charter will be offered to the city following the cessation of governmental investigation. It currently consists of only four precepts, but subsequent articles will be introduced as and if more issues surface during federal investigation.

### Article I

Article I outlines a series of regulations which will either now be enforced or follow a stricter guideline of enforcement:

#### Article I, Section I

**Banned Foreign Goods**

The current crisis befalling Honolulu is the direct result of civilians smuggling foreign goods which have been sanctioned as illegal by the State. Per this fact, all Sims possessing a bubble blower (benign or otherwise) in a residence will be summarily imprisoned and placed under trial.

#### Article I, Section II

**Anti-Discrimination**

As a result of a landmark case which prohibited an eligible Sim from buying an ice cream cone due to discrimination on the grounds of perceived sexual orientation, the State must now ensure that any unruly behavior from service sims be indicted by a State court.

#### Article I, Section III

**Supernatural Invasion**

Due to increasing complaint by local residents, supernatural phenomenon will no longer go unregulated. All gnomes, mummies, unicorns, and ghosts will be forced to surrender under the mandate of law. However, due to the aforementioned **Anti-Discrimination** policy, the above parties will be forced to fulfill jury duty instead of imprisonment.

**Amendment I**

As the horses seem easily tempted by granola snacks, anyone caught feeding the animal jury will be imprisoned. If the accused is the plaintiff, his or her case will be resigned unless otherwise stated by the State.

#### Article I, Section IV

**Federal Protocol**

The State will now implement new regulation tactics, which shall include but not necessarily be limited to, implementation of database portraits and biographies which can be accessed by the State. The public must be notified of all private cameras, spies, detectives, and ghost detectives prior to implementation.

**Database Requirements**

Database portraits must adhere to standard decency and formality. Sims are also required to update their daily diary or face imprisonment if entries are left overdue for over a week.

## State Court Cases

The following cases have either been ruled or will be ruled in a State court of law:
