Election System Overview
The Federal Assembly, our legislative body, comprises 689 Deputies elected proportionally from the Federation's 12 Regions.
Election Mechanics
- Activity and Campaigning (60%): This score is based on your active participation and campaigning efforts, including discussions, debates, proposed legislation, and overall engagement on Discord and MicrasWiki.
- Server Votes (40%): Direct votes from Nouvelle Alexandrie citizens, cast on our Discord server during the election period.
Political alignments
Political alignments, of both Regions and political parties, are calculated using a four-axis system, from -1.0 to +1.0:
Axis | -1.0 | 0.0 | +1.0 |
---|---|---|---|
Economic policy | Left-wing | Centrist | Right-wing |
Social policy | Liberal | Moderate | Conservative |
Geographic tendency | Urban | Neutral | Rural |
Cultural tendency | Populistic | Neutral | Élitist |
Determining political alignments
To determine your political party's alignment for the general election, follow these steps:
Step 1: Understand the Four-Axis System
The political alignment system is based on four axes, each ranging from -1.0 to +1.0:
- Economic Policy: From left-wing (-1.0) through centrist (0.0) to right-wing (+1.0).
- Social Policy: From liberal (-1.0) through moderate (0.0) to conservative (+1.0).
- Geographic Tendency: From urban (-1.0) through neutral (0.0) to rural (+1.0).
- Cultural Tendency: From populistic (-1.0) through neutral (0.0) to élite (élistist) (+1.0).
Step 2: Evaluate Your Party’s Policies
- Economic Policy: Analyze your party's economic policies. Do they favor wealth redistribution, social programs, and regulation (left-wing), a balance between market freedom and social welfare (centrist), or free market policies, low taxation, and minimal regulation (right-wing)?
- Social Policy: Consider your party's stance on social issues. Are they progressive, advocating for rights and freedoms (liberal), a mix of progressive and traditional values (moderate), or traditional, emphasizing family values and national heritage (conservative)?
- Geographic Tendency: Determine where your party's support base or policies are focused. Do they prioritize urban development and issues (urban), have a balanced approach (neutral), or focus on rural communities and agriculture (rural)?
- Cultural Tendency: Assess your party's cultural approach. Does it appeal to the common people and grassroots movements (populistic), have a balanced appeal (neutral), or cater to the elite and traditional institutions (élitist)?
Step 3: Assign Values to Each Axis
Based on your evaluation, assign a value to each axis that best represents your party's alignment. This should be a number between -1.0 and +1.0, where -1.0 represents the leftmost or most liberal/populistic/urban option, +1.0 represents the rightmost or most conservative/élitist/rural option, and 0.0 is neutral or centrist.
Step 4: Compile Your Party’s Political Alignment
Combine the values you've assigned for each axis to form your party's overall political alignment. This alignment will help you understand your party's position in the political landscape and communicate it effectively during the general election.
Example
This example would be for a party that is moderately left on economic policies (-0.5), moderate on social policies (0.0), leans towards urban issues (-0.5), and is populistic (-1.0), your compiled alignment would look like this:
Economic Policy: -0.5
Social Policy: 0.0
Geographic Tendency: -0.5
Cultural Tendency: -1.0
Endorsements
Players can make endorsements based on specific policy issues or political parties. Non-politician characters who are also citizens of Nouvelle Alexandrie can endorse a political party, a specific policy in a party's manifesto, or a specific political candidate (regardless of party). Each endorsement will be classified in a tier, which is determined by the character's approval ratings. The endorsement tiers and their associated poll bumps are as follows:
- Tier Three: Granted automatically to the person with the highest approval rating. Guaranteed national 1% poll bump.
- Tier Two: Guaranteed national poll bump. Dice roll (1d10) to determine where it falls in the range of 0.5%-1.0%.
- Tier One: Dice roll (1d10) to determine if there is a national poll bump or not. Poll bump will not be more than 0.5%.
- Tier Zero: No endorsement power. I will conduct a dice roll (1d10) to determine if the endorsement will either help or hurt. No national poll bump, but there can be positive effects, determined by the Administrators.
Current Endorsement Power Standings
Rank | Character | Endorsement Power | Poll Bump |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Antonio Verini Count of Punta Santiago |
Tier Two | Dice roll (1d10) to determine, range of 0.5%-1.0%. |
2 | Ethan Chevalier Ambassador to Shireroth and former CEO of airImperial |
Tier Two | Dice roll (1d10) to determine, range of 0.5%-1.0%. |
3 | Iñigo Duke of Santiago |
Tier Three | +1% |
4 | Rawa Vilca Duke of Salcedo, Count of Choquequirao |
Tier Three | +1% |
5 | S.S Bucolos Count of Narbonne |
