The Samgolan Civil War is over. A political revolution carried out by the Samgolan People's Front spilled out into the streets and the National Regime, a puppet administration under President Muyongo Rubusana, crumpled almost immediately. For four long years, political turmoil, local militia's and fear were widespread. The war is over and the Samgolan People's Front has been defeated, it's leaders arrested and prepared to stand trial for treason and actions against the state. It is turn for the voice of the people to once again be heard in the Assembly of Samgola.

The Samgolan Republic is home to 51,000,000 people and is not without it's problems. A divided political electorate threatens the nation's first presidential election, which is just about to commence. Representing the interests of your political party, you will be integral to leading Samgola into tomorrow--or will you?
This is a PoliSim game where the fundamental unit is the Political Party. This will be relatively light action wise but there will be lots of stats present to help players make decisions. There will be elections, bills and crises on which your party will vote to gain new supporters to eventually gain a majority.

@Theodorable Im interested in how is this going to work? I dont see much space for writing of any kind. Sowe just create a party and then vote on bills proposed, or propose them ourselves. There is only very little space for character development and not much for anything else.
So voting and politics as usual is the mechanical aspect. The story and narrative comes from you as the player fabricating and taking on the mantle of characters within your political party. If your party wins the Presidency, you'll want a character in that spot. He'll want an agenda. That's on you.
