Due to foreign aid being removed from TE, it makes senate seats almost worthless. Placing trade sanctions on a 2KNS nation has such a little effect its pretty much pointless. I think that more power should be given to team senators. Not only would this make for more interesting alliance campaigns for seats but also increase the interaction between colour teams in the game.

The powers that I think should be added are;
- The ability to take nations out of anarchy (Only a maximum amount of nations per day, say 2 or 3)
- The ability to close trade slots entirely rather then just remove the happiness bonus
- The ability to remove nations from the team colour (again this would be limited to 2-3 nations a day)

You could also give certain powers to different senators, for example #1 Senator gets the first ability (Remove anarchy), #2 gets the second and so on..

Ideas/Comments?

I DO agree that senators could have more fun powers. At the moment it's just meh...

I agree but the main question is what to add...

I like the first 2 ideas.
What I also see as a possibility is for senators to make nations withing their color offer peace and/or reduce the amount of taxes collected as a means of sanction.

That's a good idea. Waiting for the admin to implement.

Definitely not the idea of removing anarchy. All you're doing is giving the big alliances another hammer to beat down on the little ones.
