I'm all for a player-driven effort, and if you need a small code change or feature to make it reality, I'd be more than willing to put that on the TODO list
I believe everything can be handled with the current options. The Senate can be set up using a guild system, laws can be created using diplomatic treaties, and best of all it will be extremely unstable and chaotic leading to big chances for people to exploit it and create good times.
The only part that would be difficult is giving infiltrators the ability to purchase a ban that is on them... but even that can be arranged with a trip to the capitol of the realm they are banned from I think (if gold transfers like that still work).
The only other thing that I am going to push for is that everyone be required to set a goal when they start a war. No more of this going to war until you are dead stuff. Instead you go to war until honor is fulfilled, apologies made, daughters rescued, land taken etc.
I think I read about something being developed along those lines some time ago.
