Time to kick off 2012 with a new realpolitik.
We have a chatango page: http://ilduce349rp.chatango.com/
The Nation
We are playing Paradise in Final Frontier Plus.
Background
Read the intro for FFP
The game
This game isn't like any realpolitik done before I suggest reading the rules prior to play.
Each player is to create a party or join an existing party. Please note when choosing your parties values, if your parties platform is to similar to another party, even if said party is in your coalition. There will be a vote split, NPC's voting for you will only be valued at a third of the amount, significantly reducing the odds of said coalition winning the election.
So if you want to create a create say, for example, a communist party, you are much better off joining a prexisting party then creating a new one.
Elections
Unlike previous Realpolitik's elections, players no longer receive the right the vote. Thats right, NPCs will make up 100% of the vote, so it is your job to sway the people of England, to vote for you, rather then making special alliances and voting for other parties. It is now entirely possible for one party to get over 50% of the vote and as a result, not need a coalition to govern the civilization.
The Government
The government is a parliamentary democracy. The people vote in two different elections, parliament and presidential. For parliament the number of seats is proportional to our population. While for President it is FTPP, meaning which ever candidate gets the most votes, becomes president.
For the parliament, the coalition with the most seats has their leader become Prime Minister, while for president it is the party with most votes. This means that even if you are not in a coalition, if the people like you, you can become president.
Roles of the government
House of Commons
Here is where the parties come into play. Each of the parties will be represented in the house of commons proportionally to popular support.
If you get 20 votes, you get 20 seats. The number of seats each player gets in a vote is proportional to the number of players in the party. Say there are 4 players in the party and the party got 20 votes in the election. Each party members vote when deciding courses of action would be 5 votes (20/4). In the case of a rounding issue, the party leader will be rounded up and everyone else will be rounded down.
House of commons will be were most of the action is held, and is will bills must be introduces inorder to be voted on. (Same with the plan)
Deciding which tech to research, what workers do and what to build is up to the house.
Prime Minister
The leader of the Party with the most votes inside the winning coalition becomes Prime Minister, the role of the prime minister is to lead the House of Commons. He is the one who presents bills to the President, for decisions about whether the President will sign it into law.
As Prime he is the one who leads the house of commons, for a bill to be voted on, either him or the opposition leader has to suggest the bill.
The Prime Minister is allowed to create cabinet ministers, players who will be part of his administration. The ministers roles are the help the Prime Minister make decisions in the areas of their field.
Opposition leader
The leader of the party with the most votes outside the winning coalition becomes the opposition leader.
The President
The head of state. He has the right to veto any actions done by the House of Commons, he is solely in charge of foreign affairs and the army.
So declaring war, signing open borders moving troops etc is up to him.
The President also appoints cabinet ministers, namely the vice president, who in the result of absence acts as president.
Election Campaigns
Now this is where it gets complicated.
Election campaigns are made more interesting with the introduction of money. Basically, one can now conduct advertising in certain regions in hopes to further your chances of winning the election. Party leaders allocate funds towards different cities in the election and the amount of funds allocated towards a planet will make speeches for party members more effective in said planet.
As a result Speeches are really important, and are encouraged if you want to win the election, especially given that it is the NPCs, not the players who vote.
For funding each party gets $15 per person in it, as well as funding from fundraiser and public funding.
Public funding gives each party $6 for every vote they got in the previous election.
To hold fundraiser, choose a planet and an issue, the support for you cause as well as the wealth of the planet will dictate the amount of money you raise. I will provide sufficient details for you guys to make proper decisions.
Leader debates, occasionally we will host leader debates, which will be done via our chatango page. I (and players if they PM me in advance) will ask questions of each of the leaders and provide significant as to who is fit to run the country. I will try to coordinate times with the leaders to maximize the number of people who can participate in the debates. The debates should probably take 1-2 hours to complete.
