The idea is that in every CITY (district if you want) there would be an NPC mayor that could rotate out every week or so. The mayor could potentially change the city's surroundings and could be based off of a variety of archetypes, i.e. 'corrupt' mayor, 'protector', 'man of the people' all of which would change a player's dealings in the city. For instance, if an elected mayor was corrupt, then a lower chance of being caught while doing crimes, or jailbreaking, maybe even a chance to pay to get out of a stick situation. If the mayor was a protector, however, there would be an increased police presence, making it less beneficial to be running drugs or doing crimes in that city, due to jailings or maybe confiscating drugs/guns. 

This could also present an opportunity to add an organized crime/crew crime to try to assassinate the mayor if the elected one is unfavorable. 

Of course, this decision is up to the admins and the community, whether it over complicates things or not.

Definitely open to suggestions, and honest opinions!
