Process

The presidential elections take place in several stages. All the described actions are taken from the Elections sub-menu, from the National Politics button.

● Primaries: They don’t concern you if you are presenting yourself. During this period, the candidates from each party declare themselves.

● Political program: During the campaign, you can set your program, which can include several quantitative engagements. If you are elected, the people will remember your campaign promises and can punish you if you drift from them. These promises are made during meetings in the cities of your choosing that you must reserve with party funds.

● This will also allow you to improve your image in the regions of the selected cities, and to change the voter opinion in this region.

● Electoral fraud: If you want, you can cheat. There are three possibilities: destroying ballots, double registration of voters, votes of deceased persons. These actions will affect the final result but of course include some risks, as they can be discovered and start scandals. These risks are evaluated as a function of the effectiveness of your secret services.

● Survey: All throughout the campaign, there are periodic surveys that are displayed on the left side of the Elections window.

● Debate: a confrontation between the two principal candidates who make promises turn by turn on suggested or spontaneous questions. The debate will have an important impact on the final election results. It is recommended that you save your better promises for the debate. A promise already made loses its impact if it’s made a second time.

● Results: The final result is broadcast live on television.

Calculation of Votes

Votes are calculated in the following manner:

● Each important character from your country chooses his or her preferred candidate as a function of his or her affinities.

● When the character votes, he or she captures in his or her vote all or part of the people on which he or she has influence. This is notably a function of the popularity of the character, the character’s role in society, the charisma of the character and that of the group that he or she directs (a political party head will have more influence than a big couturier), and the character’s political engagement. Thus, in the game, you will need to sway as many personalities
as possible.

● The people pronounce themselves on each of the candidates.

● The final result for a candidate is half dependent on the votes received from the characters and half dependent on the people’s vote.

● After all the people have voted, all the final results of the candidates will be compared, which will determine the percentages won by each of them.
