I think it could be pretty cool to have voted mayors with a low/moderate effect on the average Loka players experience, while providing more things to do when not fighting.
For example, there could be a mayor that make Zyre like Zyre weekend, for the duration of it's stay, or a fishing mayor that gives an extra fishing tournament and increases the catch chance of bigger fish. Another example could be a mining mayor that increases the value of the ores you sell to the NPC (obviously would disable the buying from the guy next to him). These could make each event more competitive, since it would be voted by the player-base and it would be buffed/changed as given by the mayor perk. You'd likely see more people at RI during a mining mayor, which would increase competition at RI, while also allowing newer players who go there to have a chance to make money themselves.
I think there are a ton of cool things that could be done with this that can't be done with continent policies, and can be fun, harmless, helpful, and may help refresh people's energy to play, and give new players a way to get into it.
If you want a more thought out example of how I think this could work I will give that below:
There could be ~8 mayors, and every ~5 days, there could be a vote for who would be mayor. There should only be 3 mayors allowed to run at once, so it has a bit of randomization, and the same mayor can't run twice in a row (similar to skyblock). There could be a new building for it, where people are allowed to click the mayors to see their perks, then have an item they need to shift-click to confirm their vote.
