They still do? Oh, well, as if I cared. I just wanted to troll you, but you didn't get to saying anything about that it was the first question that you asked.

General Secretary of the Communist Party Shadow of Sinai announces that it is supporting the Pope on the basis that a UNPC is necessary to help deter Aden, which is led by a crazy sociopath.
Despot Negan of Aden has simply replied, "Aww, that's sweet of you <3" via text message.

The echidna ruins are based off the Inca Trail as memory serves.
...then again echidna civilization is Mayincatec.
Regardless, I decided to have some fun.
3 nations have yet to cast their ballots. However, analysts have looked over the first choices on the ballots, and it stands as:
8 - Papacy
5 - Tropico
4 - Singapore
3 - Solitude
3 - Thorvald
With 14 votes required to declare victory, the Papacy looks most prepared for victory, but polls must first close before it is officialised.

So what happens in case of a tie ? In case all the other 3 cast it for Tropico ?

Let's begin!
This post to be updated as the votes are counted.

All ballots are in!
Round One
Papacy - 8
Tropico - 6
Singapore - 4
Thorvald - 4
Solitude - 4
The tie for weakest ballot forces a recount to determine which third place candidate has the least amount of second choice votes. Candidate's own second choice vote cannot count against them.
Singapore - 7
Thorvald - 4
Solitude - 2
Without fully counting, it becomes apparent that Solitude is the weakest in terms of approval.
Solitude eliminated!
Round Two
Papacy - 8+1
Tropico - 6+1
Singapore - 4+1
Thorvald - 4+1
Once more a recount must be held to determine whether Singapore or Thorvald of Lym is more popular with voters.
As a second choice, Singapore picks up 6 votes; the first vote for one was for Thorvald and thus does not count against him. Thorvald picks up 4 votes.
Thorvald of Lym eliminated!
Round Three
With the surprising elimination of Thorvald (who analysts speculated would have a better shot at the Secretariat in the next election if he did not win this round), three candidates remain.
Papacy - 9+1
Tropico - 7+2
Singapore - 5+1
Singapore eliminated!
Round Four
The final round.

Tropico had enough of an advantage over the Papacy in secondary and third choices to be able to win. The folks who voted for Thorvald, Solitude and Singapore preferred Tropico over the Pope by a fair margin, and so as they dropped like flies, Tropico's share of the vote grew.

This can only end well, with some banana republic way too fond of embargoes being the UN Secretary General

The Pope should have won the elections. And I do not understand your logic of those ''rounds''.

Well, Thorvald and the Papacy each won 4 of the 5 Deputy seats, so that'll rein in any excesses.
@ Christos:
Instant Runoff Voting allows you to rank candidates by order of preference. If your first candidate is eliminated, your vote goes to your second choice. If your second choice is eliminated, your third choice gets the vote and so on.
This continues until one has an absolute majority of votes necessary.
Had we a first past the post system, the Papacy would have won, but we do not.
