I ain't gotta explain a thing
Welcome to the sunny and glorious United Amerikaner Provinces! Home to the world's newest democracy following the defeat of the Foordt regime during the Second World War.
Frans Foordt, the former High Commissioner of Amerika.
Following the War, as a result of the Conferences of Taigh Iain Ghròt, Amerika was divided into two by the victorious powers. The West now forms the Republic of Louisiana, a syndicalist state, while the East forms the United Provinces.
The West is not where this game takes place.
The East is.
The dissolution of Foordt's Nationaal-Syndicalistisch-Corporatistische Partij (NSCP, National-Syndicalist-Corporatist Party) has left a massive power vacuum. The first proper elections of the new system are scheduled for 1950, and you are the first parties to partake in this!

Issues:
Issues come in two forms. Social and Political. These can be anything. You do have to act according to your partys interests here or you will lose popularity and may even face a complete collapse.
The Political landscape.
The UAP is divided into 22 Provinces and 2 Territories. Each Province is further divided up into Communes (Gemeentes). For the purposes of Census, they are divided into URBAN (highly populated, industrial) and RURAL (low pop density, agricultural) Communes.
Presidential elections
Parliamentary elections
The Republic of the United Amerikaner Provinces has a bicameral parliament. The Upper House, or the States Council (Raad van State) is elected alongside the President-Stadhouder of the UAP. Each Province sends Two Councillors, elected by the people. Territories have their Councillor appointed by the President-Stadhouder. this results in a Raad van State consisting of 46 members (22 Provinces, 2 Territories).
The Lower House, or Legislative Chamber (Kamer der Wetgeving) is elected in the off season. Each Commune within the UAP sends ONE member, allowing for a Chamber consisting of 633 seats. These are elected popularly.
Governors are elected along with the President-Stadtholder. Basically, the winner of the election for the Raad van State becomes the governor of his Province.
A lot has to be RPed. Issues are presented, Parliament debates, and then a mid-turn update announces which decrees pass Parliament. The president may veto ONE of these.
Opposition should know what to do.
Everything is possible - from the rearrangement of states to the acquisition of new territories to pretty much everything.
Election season - things to remember:
Urban areas are more liberal, but in times of hardship will swing far to the right.
Remembering issues exist is a good way to raise popularity.
Compromise!
You do not have to make good on your promises - the winning party in a presidential or parliamentary election gets sent the budget sheet for their term.
You have 10 actions to affect the outcome of an election.
