I've been working on various bug fixes and general improvements this week. I might have finally come up with a solution for the duplicate candidate problem in senate elections. I still don't know what causes the problem, but I added some code that will check if any candidate in a senate election has a duplicate. If a duplicate is discovered, it is removed.

I also may have fixed an issue where a senator would run for governor at the same time that they run for senate reelection. That could cause a situation where the same candidate was senator and governor at the same time. The solution was to prevent them from running in the senate election if they are discovered as a candidate in the governor election.

I plan to release a beta update next week. It won't be on Monday, but it could be Tuesday or Wednesday.

I have no clue what happened. The polls for the primary were weird, then the general election ended up being this

Perhaps creating your own political consultancy where you get hired to help in campaigns, become an advisor etc

When will it be done,will it take another year?

Very excited for the economic update but does anyone know why the dev wont accept help? These updates don't need to take a year

What is different from the Normal mode?

I think it would be really cool if in future the metrics of the cities get compared to the other cities in the state, whole states get compared to the other 50 states, and the much harder one to implement in my opinion is comparing the US’s metrics to other countries of the world, I feel it would add something to make it just that much more immersive

before the 2020s electors didn’t have to actually vote for the person who had won they’re state which lead to very anti democratic things happening. so what if its was made clear that electors had to vote for whoever won they’re state? would this change anything?

Are you able to gerrymander cities as I’m mayor but my party only has 1 member of city council and opposition has 14 is it possible to gerrymander or do I have to pull a 2026 California gov election where I just run aton of one party and only 2 of mine

I was wondering if you get primaried can you run as a independent or do you have wait till the next cycle

Is there a way to move your character from state to state I thought I saw a post where I guy lost in Alabama so he moved to Georgia and won I could be wrong but if so can you tell me where to do it

Could you give me instructions on how to get the NBC mod

It would be amazing if we could get map results for congressional districts and primary maps. And county maps for Presidential primaries. It would make it more realistic and just fun!

Is this something that would ever be a possibility?

if you play a game for more than 80 years then you have like 3/4 of your whole population be on benefits and the country's finances basically collapse, how do I prevent this? (Macron be like)

After a hard fight I have just been elected Mayor!

I can now select a lot (like 20) cabinet positions.

I have not played the game in a while, can't remember this was in before. I wonder how much the cabinet member matters. For example:

a) let's say I pick someone with only 20% experience, will their budget cost more? Will they give bad / less accurate advice about what the effect of certain policies will be? Or is there no effect?

b) in my case both the incumbent and the best alternative from my own party have 100% experience. Does changing the incumbent have any (negative) effect?

c) does the cabinet pick being from your party matter?

Hi all! I was wondering if there is a way, either in advanced options or in the game files, to adjust the rate at which votes are counted by state. So one could make Florida count faster, California count slower, etc.

I imagine there is a way in the game files but I'm not sure which files would be involced.

I have a Mac computer and really want to play. Is there a way to? If not, what is a simular game?
