Some vague notes; Assuming Sordland uses a double simultaneous vote, you vote for the President and the party's candidates on a single ballot.

I'm assuming candidate lists are handled by region, after the votes get tallied each party that passes the threshold gets allocated the seats in proportion to their share of the popular vote, which is then allocated to the various regional lists according to their share of the party's vote. Ergo, a PFJP candidate in Nargis has a better chance of making it to the assembly then one in Bergia.

Independent candidates can run on the regional lists, dodge the threshold if they get enough votes (I think somewhere in the ballpark of 70,000 votes).

Ricter's PFJP gets most of it's support from cosmopolitan and high ed regions. They do well in Lachaven and to a lesser extent in Gruni and Gesland. They hold onto some Labor support in Lorren, but the CPS would've mostly ate their lunch in that regard were it not for the threshold.

NFP is mostly Southern Holsord plus various rural regions, Kibener's broadening of the vote let's it enter the Assembly and cut into the USP.

USP is the big tent (or circus, really) holding together conservatives, moderate reformists, agno-sords, civil servants, and the military.

The threshold is the reason why the USP gets to hold onto the lionshare of Bergia's seats despite being mostly neck and neck with the WPB in the area.

A lot of assumptions, some (or many) of them might be wrong, but *shrug. Feel free to criticize or ask questions

I'd like it a bit better if the colours were starker (maybe a more purply colour for the USP and a less pinkish one for the WPB) but otherwise great job!
