From my understanding, they're basically a labor Zionist party. Their views probably match up with the Red-Green Alliance pretty well, except their purpose is to specifically to represent Jewish Fernoans, like how the Union of Anabaptists represents Anabaptist Fernoans.

I think the model used to work out some of these numbers is deeply flawed, especially as constituencies are constitutionally mandated to be drawn in a manner that is as competitive as possible.

If you or anyone has suggestions on how to improve the elections model, I'll be glad to hear them once you've seen the final results and I can give you all the data used to reach those results, since it formulates polls that are sometimes deliberately inaccurate.

A new trial is open for all members of the Senate. The end goal is seeing if the system can be implemented as another part of the roleplay. This is different from the parliamentary campaign system.

In the Senate, there are geographic constituencies — based on a physical area of the nation — and there are list seats — appointed by the parties. We recently finished an election for geographic constituencies, so your Senator will assume a list seat.

However, you can still detail the hometown of your Senator, and the rest of your Senator's background, in the Character Database.

People can begin applying now. I just finished the calculator for it a few minutes ago, so once enough people have applied we'll be ready to go.

Okay thank you.

You would need to first amend the portion that makes it unamendable.

Good luck with that.

I'm making an interactive map of the Senate. If you want your Senator on it, follow the link to this spreadsheet and input your character's information by clicking the cell and then clicking "Comment." Please input your own character and a few others you know might not put their own in. If every active person does themselves and four people we can complete it.

Hello everyone! I was absent for a little while because of RL stuff, can someone fill me in on what happened meanwhile and is my party, the National People's Party, dead?
Relax people, this nation doesn't represent my real political views.

Call me Novo!

We are not Novorossiya, we are not Russia, we are a fictional nation situated in the Americas formerly colonized by the Russian-Swedish Commonwealth. (Also fictional) Novorossitov runs in real-time, and we are currently in the year 2018.

Well, Sarian (Priscilla Krishnan) of the CU won the presidency. We have a new election model where you can file to run for seats. The RGA did the best of any of the parties in those elections, I think. Yes, the NPP is dead. Some new parties have been formed: the Communist Party of Fernao, which is communist; the Fernao Phalanx Movement, which is fascist; and Forward Fernao!, which is centrist and neoliberal.

You know what we should do? We should put the CPF and FPM together and see who kills the other.
