Hopeless Situation Warrior
Greetings! I am mrrandomplayer, back from a hiatus from S&T. I am sad that RT's story ended the way it did, and having seen the failure of my previous IAAR, I am going to commence a new one using America as the civilization of choice. However, unlike many others, this will be a Realpolitik based on the actual American congress, with the players as Senators and possibly some executive offices. (We are going to start with constitutional rules from 1776 so we don't have to deal with a constitutional convention)
How stuff happens:
Each person participating is a Senator from a certain state or a governor of a state. Players may also run for President and be appointed to cabinet positions such as Secretary of State and Secretary of the Treasury.
Legislative:
After elections, Senators will write bills relating to things that America can do. This could include researching technology, building units, etc... Then, they will submit the bills to me and everyone will have a few days to write speeches in the affirmation or negation. After that, votes are taken on all of the bill.
Executive:
Once the legislative branch is finished submitting bills, the President gets to choose whether to sign or veto bills. If bills are vetoed, Congress can make a vote to override the veto by a 2/3 majority. Executive positions other than the President can make orders, for example, the Secretary of State can sign foreign treaties, and the Secretary of the Treasury can dictate gold spending. Governors can also give orders for worker improvements and city builds. Once all of that is done, the president plays out the term on the save file (4 years). The president will take screenshots and provide the update.
The judicial branch will be run by me, the GM.
Character Template:
Name: The name of the character
Player: The player of the character
Home State: The home state of the character. This will be important for national elections and senate seats/governorships.
Career: The career of the character. Careers include: President, Vice President, Senator, Governor, various cabinet positions, and political retirement (no political job)
Age: The age of the character. 30 is the minimum age required for being a senator, 35 for president. The older the character, the more respect is given, but the more likely the character is to die or get sick.
Backstory: Provide a backstory for your character.
How elections work:
For senators: As long as 2 or fewer people are interested in running for senator of a state, they win the election, provided that they haven't made some huge political error (ex. being strongly antislavery in antebellum South Carolina) and are fit to run.
For governors: Same with Senators, but only 1 person should run.
For presidents: Mount a political campaign of speeches and the like, and then on Election Day, the various states' electoral votes (determined by city population + tile improvements) will be decided on by me and a few other unbiased people who aren't on CFC.
For Vice Presidents: Until an amendment is made about running as a ticket, Vice Presidents also run, with 2nd place being Vice-President.
