I think that they can stick around for Iowa/New Hampshire, but if someone is at the bottom of the list after Super Tuesday, then they need to start dropping.

Yeah I agree.

NS Nation Name: The Peoples East Africa
Character Name: Bobby Houston
Character Gender: Male
Character Age: 55

As well he's 6 foot 4 inches tall, with a thin, well kept build. Often seen wearing designer suits and gold watches.
Character State of Origin: Texas
Character Affiliation: Reform Party
Main Strengths: Can fund his own campaign, intimidating, inspires patriotism, can appeal to nationalists
Main Weaknesses: Seen as racist, disliked by minorities of all kinds
Short Bio:
In 1961, the most important birth since Jesus himself occurred, when Bobby Houston entered the world. His parents worked long hours in factories for less than minimum wage, all to give their children a chance at life. And Bobby wasn't going to let them down. He left school at 16, and found work where he could, before one job really called to him; the industry of oil. It wasn't working on the pumps and getting filthy that he joined for however, but the potential. All corners of the Earth need oil, from the cars we drive to the plants that power our homes, oil was the fuel that ran the world. And he who controls that, controls the world. Starting several small businesses in rural Texas, Bobby built up his fortune over many years, coming to own , cinemas, retail stores, and even a small hotel by the time he turned 35. It was around now, that Bobby's first interest in politics began. Ross Perot, a great American man had run in 1992, and left an impact. He proved that there was an alternative to the Democrat and Republican system. For the first time ever, there was a party that he could believe in, that America could believe in! The Reform Party was the party of the future, Bobby was convinced, and he endorsed Perot in his next run, as well as register to join them. Sadly, not much came of that and the party nearly disappeared from the system altogether.

In 1998, Bobby started his takeover of Texan oil, buying up shares from many different major producers, and uniting them under a single brand, Patriot Oil. Not months later they would be the main source of revenue for Houston Industries. Continuing expansion, Bobby's company branched out into many more sectors. Gas reserves were another important resource for staying warm, and proved profitable. Coal mines set up in Alaska and Appalachia brought in a fair revenue, while the electronic market made billions. To truly own the energy market, nuclear energy was embraced in 2008, with their first uranium mine opening a year after. Research into fusion technology is on the cards, with plans to open a research facility in 2019. Bobby started looking more and more into politics as the years went by, with many rumours spreading that he would be running for president in 2012. Clearly, he didn't, for there was much to be done, research to be made, and platforms to solidify. Announcing that he wouldn't be returning to host Dragon's Den, rumours have started up bigger than ever that Bobby would be running for president. He has invited many distinguished guests and politicians to his mansion for an upcoming banquet, and to announce something very important.

Ok but Last time that happened (From Last RP) I thought "Maybe because I don't make any IC Posts", and Some nation (I don't know what name is that nation?) Tell me "Some of Nations who been made lot of posts in IC Thread also not on the list"

That was me-and that was under a different OP, who was much more absent. It should not be a problem here.

Ok. I will made a IC Post, but I don't know I will likely to do or not?

I think I will stay away from Senator Hertz with the risk of being Zodiac-killed :S

I think that they can stick around for Iowa/New Hampshire, but if someone is at the bottom of the list after Super Tuesday, then they need to start dropping.

Yeah I agree.

Yeah unless it's very close.

We go through the primaries first, so, just one state at a time for now, no need to get on the ballots that early.

If you are at the legal age, you just have to announce it and you're on the ballot.
