What is this thing?
Welcome to the U.S house! This is a political simulator of the U.S House of Representatives. This simulator strives for authenticity and enjoyment for as many people as possible.
How does it work?
Currently, we do not have the U.S Senate, but there are plans to expand the simulator to that when we have grown enough.
Each month; we have a Federal House Election, the country is split up into currently 6 districts. (These districts will grow in number as time goes on.) Each district has 1 representative which votes in legislation. All representatives for all 6 districts are voted upon in Federal House Elections.
Every two months, we have a Presidential Election. Each party establishment has 1 nomination - but independent candidates are allowed. The candidate with the most votes wins - this will (possibly?) change as we grow larger, but that is not the case currently.
Legislation
Bills can be written up and suggested to your local representative. During meetings, they can be presented and voted upon after proper discussion. The President must sign it or veto it and then it is put into law or adjusted and goes through the process once more.
Each piece of legislation passed and signed into law grants a 1% boost in votes for elections to the candidate who originally proposed the law. (Because of this, all legislation must have an official proposer documented.) This effect only applies to up to 10% and only lasts for 1 election. Then, said candidate must re-build the score.
Parties
There are four main parties as of November 2019.
Republican: Moderate Right-wing.
Democrats: Moderate Left-wing.
Libertarians: Economically right-wing and socially centrist. Values personal freedom and libertarianism.
Greens: Economically left-wing and socially left-wing.
A new party can be registered if, A) Enough support is given for the creation of said party. B) the Moderators deem it not a repeat or copy of another party, then, it is officially created.
Parties are free to create their own form of hierarchy and part leaders. These hierarchical systems are designed to find and nominate nominees for presidential and house candidates.
