End of the 3rd SMP

Inactivity began in the last week of January 2022 during BBLB_YT. The 2nd Judicial Congress met less. Voter turnout was declining, and talk about the SMP was dwindling. During RiceMaster_'s campaign, he said that, if elected, he would "think of and find new ways to increase SMP activity... plans, bills, and events." The effect of inactivity struck on election night. BBLB_YT and RiceMaster_ were tied. An inactive 2nd Judicial Congress had to quickly meet to pick the winner. 

In RiceMaster_'s inaugural address, he aimed to pass the "Recovery Act" to revive the declined server. But it would already be too late. A referendum to close the server at the end of RiceMaster_'s term passed in the May Elections. SMP ended on May 21st, 2022.

Things that may have all caused the downfall of the SMP:

• School year

• Employment

• Complexities of government and process

• Election of RiceMaster_

• Too slow world progression

• Lack of challenges and tournaments

Presidential residences and tours

Residences

No formal residence was established for the president.
