Starts in 1949, ends whenever.
You can play as an oligarch in Russia, or a senator in America.
In America, elections are mainly decided by NPC's as they will make up the majority of the vote, while in Russia, the election is entirely decided by the players.
In America there is an election every 4 years (8 turns)
In Russia there is an election every x years (2x turns)
Where x is a number given to me by the RNG.
Expansion works differently, like you can no longer claim provinces, but instead appoint puppet leaders (by funding rebellions)/bribing governments to become your allies. The members of NATO are automatically American allies, and the Warsaw Pact is automatically Russian Allies. Everyone else is up for grabs.
I am still ironing out how income works (It will have to work differently in Communist and Capitalist nations), but I have finished the rules on elections and diplomacy.
