HOW TO APPLY FOR CONGRESS

HOW TO: APPLY FOR CONGRESS

Requirements

Be member of a party
Party President nominates you at 14th of the month
Party has 250 currency per candidate
Must have Experience Level 15 or more to vote

You are able to run for congress every month, as long as the Party President nominates you and pays the currency fee. We will explain below how the elections take part and how the results are defined. Following screens show how Party President can nominate a party member for congress elections.

The Congress is where the laws are proposed, voted, approved or dismissed.

Being a Congressman itself don't give you any additional rights or duties except for voting on every law you consider important or valuable.

The Congress itself consists of Country President, the appointed Ministers and all the elected members of Congress. The maximum number of elected congressmen are 20, meaning that with 5 ministers /max/ and 1 Country President the Congress consists of maximum 26 voters.

20 of those 26 votes actually come from the peoples vote for political parties and ideas, and basically can decide the future of your nation. No law can pass without 50.01% approval (and for some even 66.66%) of the Congress, even if the President or the Ministers wish so, and vice versa - each law can pass if congress member proposes it and accept it even if the President and the Ministers don't want it.

The Congress has also the important possibility to impeach the President and by doing so - to change the Head of State and the Head of decisions.

Elections

Each political party will be able to propose a list of players for Congress elections, which are held every 15th day of the month. Each party member (including Party President) can nominate himself for Congress elections.

On each 14th day of the month the Party President will have the power to LIST UP the candidates in a specific order - first, second, third, etc. up to 20 people. He will have to line them in the order that they will become Congressmen based on their Political Party election results. The list can consist up to 20 players.

If on the 14th of the month the Party President doesn't do this - the Congressmen candidates enter the Congress on a numeric principal where the first to apply in the elections is considered first in the Candidate list, the second is considered second in the list, etc. And the Party President is the one, who is held responsible for that.

People vote FOR POLITICAL PARTIES - and not for persons. Based on the voting % parties will have a specific number of representatives, which will enter by the following principals:

Parties will have a number of congressman in congress equal to 1 congressman for every 5.00% of the national vote. For example:

Party X win 45.11% of vote, it have 9 congress members
Party X win 44.18% of vote, it have 8 congress members

A Party need to make a full 5.00% to enter an additional congress member. If a political party doesn't make at least 5.00% of the votes, it won't be represented by a congress member.

There are no percentage left-over calculations.

If a country have only one party and at least one vote to gain 100% on elections, it will occupy entire Congress. If the party has 20 members proposed, they will win 20 congress chairs. If a country with only one party has 12 proposed candidates, they will win all % and will have 12 congressmen in total.

The first members in the list arranged by the Party President will enter the Congress!

For instance:

If a country has two parties in the elections and they win 55.15% and 44.85%, then they will have 11 congress members and 8 congress members respectively, with a total of 19 congress members in congress. These 19 congress members will be players from the position 1-11 of the winner party and positions 1-8 in the second party.

Another example - if a country has 4 parties and they win 55.10% - 25.15% - 14.85% - 4.90%, then they will have 11 - 5 - 2 - 0 chairs respectively, or total of 18 congress members, and again players from the top 1-11/5/2 lists will enter (with no member from the party with less than 5.00% whatsoever)

If a party has % for more candidates than it has won (for instance, 2 proposed candidates with 40% vote) it will get only those 2 and will reduce the congress numbers drastically.

This rule apply massively for any case, no matter of the % left-overs. Full 5.00% or no congress member in.

If there are too many political parties which can't gain support (for example 21 parties all of them with less than 5.00%), then no congress member enters in. If there are 5 parties but just one of them have more than 5.00% - then only this party will be represented in Congress.

Every congressman can propose up to 3 laws.
