Once I established what Unibot’s parties were and what they stood for, I went district by district and quantified how popular each party was in each district versus the overall national popular vote (e.g., 500%, -30%) based on established factors about each district (e.g., their economics, industries.)
A randomized national vote share would then get squeezed through a set of those district-by-district numbers and I would reallocate the surplus of each vote proportionally so the vote shares add up to 100% in each riding. That gave me a quasi-realistic FPTP electoral returns.
Essentially it’s a proportional swing projection, like something you’d use in a RL election, but with fictitious regional variance and random national numbers.
If you’re interested I can make a copy of my simulator sheet public for download, so others can just download and edit the sheet to fit their country.

That sounds like a good solid model - I would appreciate it if you would consider sharing such a sheet.

Oops, sorry for leaving you hanging. I will get around to sharing this. I have to duplicate the spreadsheet and make some notes so the spreadsheet is comprehensible.

So I realized my spreadsheet wouldn’t be very helpful for others, so I redesigned and its almost ready to make public. It took way longer than it should have, but I’ve been busy with work. Now that I know there is interest in it, I’ll get around to it.
