The custom voting system we implemented recently doesn't do anything except tally a vote or poll. It can be used by rulers as a tool to decide on actions to take. However we do want to expand it to make the event actual impose a law or punishment on a player if needed. For example, the War Reparations event can be turned into a punishment inflicted on another corp who the ruler ship feels is acting unjustly. Other examples can be game emforced trade restriction or even banishment from a city or planet, with the NPC Terran Feds enforcing it by attacking those corps in those areas Such edicts would only last a week or so and rulers can only issue a vote or edict like this to one corp every couple of days but it can be devastating.
This would give being ruler not just give you money but also now give you actual POWER in the game. A star Lord can literally boot a player out of the system or force him to pay reparations, hand over units or whatever else we can put in. We can also make these edicts require a majority vote but the ruler gets a big bonus to the vote.
In the end this kind of political power would be how any abuse by players can be enforced by the players themselves. We would only have to get involved as admins in situations of scorched earth abuse.
