Political Simulation Game II

Welcome to the Political Simulation Game II, a new game where players can simulate politicians, run for office, and run the United States of America. Based on the original Presidential Election Game and the Political Simulation Game, this simulation will begin in 1796 with role-playing and alternate history determining the course of the free world at the start of the nation's history.

This game is currently a heavy work in progress, with rules subject to change/to be added.
