RULES AND ERRATA

TURN POLICY:
Payment Rules: Players with a negative balance will not have their orders processed. If a player retains a negative balance for two turns, they will lose their nation. If a player does not send in orders for two turns in a row, and there are people on the waiting list, they will lose their nation and will be refunded their remaining balance. Exceptions can be made as long as the GM is kept aware

THE BASE RULES

Chapter 2 - THE STAT SHEET
2.2.48 Federalized Democracy Govn't type

Each democratic nation has in the player's notes section a list of the political parties. Their names, ideals, and which leaders belong to the respective party. Like in life the democratic process is fraught with frustration and compromise. Democratic nations are subject to a automatic rewrite of their builds and even leader orders based upon the die rolls for parliament. Each party has listed its priorities and goals. If the players orders are based on the principles of the ruling faction then they will likely not be changed at all. But if the player tries to act in a way contrary to the will of the parliament...well....expect Parliament to give the player the raspberry salute. I feel this is the best way to reflect that in a democratic society political parties must pander to their base even if its not what is particularly best for the nation at the time.

Things that effect the decision of parliament. CHARISMA. The Charisma of the factions compete to determine who wins the fight in the press and public. Obviously the more members of parliament the greater the accumulated Charisma for that faction is. This means then that if a faction has a fair sized majority and decent leaders they should be able to hammer through their legislation.

ELECTIONS: At election time the GM rolls a huge number of nice and decides how the elections turned out. Random events mean new parties may form and old one split. Political scandals...corruption...everyone's favorite political foibles galore...

The bottom line for the player is that there is now a check on his policy making decisions based upon the view of his people and parliament.
