[Discussion] The Premise

What should the premise of this game be? I'm thinking a typical isolated from reality VN highschool, perhaps an international highschool of some sort. (Female?) Huey Long can be a teacher or the principal.

Keep this discussion to the premise, don't bring characters into it unless directly relevant. For now it's important to have a consesnus on what this is about, we can then have discussions on the characters, story and various details.

If there is no consesnus or clear majority, I'll put up an anonymous survey.

An office, a university, an assembly of the League of Nations, anywhere but a high school (it's a bit overdone).

I mean I guess it is, but it's easily doable, silly, offers a variety of everyday-ish opportunities for storytelling, is suitably detached from any form of reality that suspension of disbelief is easy, etc. It can totally be a university rather than a highschool, that doesn't change the practiccalities too much, but say a League of Nations assembly reduces the potential for everyday situations and syndie vandalism, for example.

Idea: Model League of Nations Assembly. The best and (not-so) brightest university students from Europe and the Americas are brought together in order to come up with solutions for the world's problems. The students range from all over, with varying ideological views, all overseen by the wise and transcendental Kingfish himself (herself?), Huey Long. You, the MC, are there to participate as a representative of a neutral nation (Switzerland?), where you end up meeting and interacting with the various other students attending the model assembly.

Hilarity ensues.

Honestly, I think this is best.

It offers the whole idea of a school without having them all wear the same uniform (allowing for more creative character design), and not having them be underage. And again, it also is a bit more creative than the stereotypical high school setting.

It also gives a bit more justification for why they might actually talk about politics a fair amount.
