Political Simulation Game

Welcome to the Political Simulation Game, an innovative new game where players can simulate politicians, run for office, and run the United States of America!

Based off of the tenets of Presidential Election Game, this simulation will begin in 1979, with role-playing and alternate history determining the course of the free world at the climax of the Cold War.

Current Year: Quarter 1, 1979

''' Headlines: US and People's Republic of China establish diplomatic ties. Revolution in Iran! US Ambassador to Afghanistan killed by jihadists. Carter attacked by a rabbit on solo fishing trip.'''

Administrators
(*) So, how do I get my name as one of this game's administrators? Well, first you have to acknowledge you cannot participate in the game as a character. Then, contact me via either my talk page or on chat. I'll select administrators based on merit, the ideas they have for the game, and the time they are willing to contribute.
 * Rex, Founder and Chief Administrator
 * YOUR NAME HERE*, Politics Deputy Chief Administrator
 * YOUR NAME HERE*, Elections Administrator
 * YOUR NAME HERE*, Policy Deputy Chief Administrator

General Rules

 * This is a political simulation. That means each user will be simulating a fictitious politicians of their creation.
 * Plausibility is of the utmost importance. You are expected to comport yourself in a stately manner, and a scandal may arise if you fail to do so.
 * Congressional elections will be held every two years, with Presidential elections taking place every four years.

 * 25 Points - State Party Boss (Trait)


 * 20 Points - Senator
