Tbh, I don't even know that myself. I really gotta fix it. Basically, parties appoint a huge list of candidates nationwide and then people can vote for them. 500 candidates who got the most votes will get to the Parliament.

Also, remember to check out my NSwiki page!


I'd recommend open-list proportional representation, which is what Finland uses. You vote for your favourite party, and you can also give a few "preference votes" to your favourite candidates within that party. An individual candidates chance of getting into Parliament is affected by their position on the Party List and the number of preference votes they get.

"All socialist and communist parties have been outlawed since 2011."

On the consideration, since the Pony Party is the most leftist party in Hippostania, how the heck does it still exist? Unless the most leftist meaning being a centrist kind of party. :P
Now mostly a politik discuss account.

Are there any leftist parties in Hippostania, or are they all considered "Communist"?

Center Party is centrist, but that's pretty much it. There is the Communist Party of Hippostania, but it's not really Hippostanian as it's not run by Hippostanians nor is it headquartered in Hippostania.

Lies. They're Hippostanian Nationals who were given asylum by the Iglesian Archipelago and Crystal Spires to prevent them from being murdered unsolicitedly by the Hippostanian Government. You can deny their citizenship, but you can't deny their nationality. They're Hippostanians.
Read the Mystria Factbook if you want to Join the region, read the factbook and contact Spires.

Actually we can. They're not Hippostanians, never have been and sure as hell never will be. We don't have any papers regarding them; or well, the National Intelligence Agency might have something about their on their terrorist watchlist.

Well, you're going in with a very far sided nation, being very liberal on some issues and very conservative on the other. :P

Their nation revoking citizenship of any one person they 'need' is going to be there. And it is no surprise. :meh:
