Gaius, You refer to your very busy and full schedule as a college student in your application. Do you believe you will have time to devote to ROMA and to contribute to the Senate? If so, how will you make certain you have time to attend meetings?
Additionally, you say that you plan to learn from your position as senator. What, specifically do you hope to contribute to ROMA as a Senator?

Thank you, Maali, for your questions.
Despite being a full-time student and a part-time worker, I have the time to take part in my RL clubs, my RL micronation, and still be in-world; if I am as engaged as I am with my plethora of activities, I am sure I can dedicate time to ROMA when I still have leisure time in between homework and activities. As my schedule stands, ROMA's Senate meetings are one brief Sunday afternoon each month and are free for me, therefore I only need to add the Senate meetings to my calendar and I'm there. As for duties beyond meetings, I am extremely flexible and can set to work with only a little guidance.
As for my contribution to ROMA, I'd like to note that becoming a Senator is my next step in exercising more of my responsibility for this community of ours. Abstractly, I want to contribute my many ideas for ROMA (some of which I included with my application) and also my vitality, which I am sure I have shown over my couple of years in ROMA. As a member of the Collegio, I am sure I have shown my free mind and spirit at meetings and at festivals; however, I have not yet had the ability to exert my responsibility, which is the paramount contribution I wish to bring to ROMA: my proper dedication to our ROMA. If given the chance, I am certain I will be a fruitful member for the Senate with my ideas, my dedication to the academic focus of our community, and my admiration for this estate.
As a note, the ideas mentioned above include a LGBT Pride Month in January, around the time of Hadrian's birthday, and a Sunday brunch for light-hearted academic and community conversation.

Gaius, you are a student and a ruler of micronations. Do you think that your bent for being chief, since you're a chief of a micronation, will interfere, somehow, in your role of Senator in a quite oligarchic, structured institution as Senate is?

Zelda, thank you for that question!
As a micronationalist, one learns not just about being the 'chief citizen', but when to let others become involved and to appeal to the community. The manner in which, then, I have led my micronation has been very democratic or republican, as in the case of Rome: therefore, I don't see a conflict in my nature.

Salve Gaius!
As a really new member of this Senate I don't want to speak now as a Senator but as a citizen of ROMA.
Maali and Zelda already asked you about the Senate itself, so I ask you this:
Do you think that "revilitalizing" the ROMA LGBT group, like you say in your application notecard, would be easier being a member of the Senate or would it be better by being the ruler of that group and sit in the groups officers area of the Curia?

Salve Achilles, and I appreciate you asking about some of my specific ideas.
As a Senator, I will be accountable to ROMA and its institutions, which would include the membership of the ROMA LGBT Group. I believe that, given the recent inactivity of the group, those ROMAns who consider themselves as LGBT should determine who should lead the group later, after the issue of inactivity has been solved.
