Lore
The Willemstan Public Surveys is an initiative by Ian Hampton to collect public opinion data from Willemstan citizens. This information is typically used as feedback for the current administration, and data for the Willemstan Wiki. The first survey was conducted in the summer of 2020, and there have been a total of seven surveys thus far. For a time, Ian used the Willemstan Economy Initiative as an incentive to respond to the polls. In order to encourage honest feedback, respondents are kept anonymous and individual responses are never released.
