Offices & Districts
Know the seats you can hold and how geography affects your run.
Available offices
- Governor (statewide).
- Senator (statewide; per state seat).
- President/Vice President (national).
Eligibility
- Home state rule: Governor and Senator filings require your home state to match the seat’s state.
- You need an active character; no cash or filing fee is charged.
- One filing per seat/cycle per character (duplicates are blocked).
Geography for campaigning
- Counties: used for rallies and fundraisers; population and market multipliers matter.
- Media markets: used for ads; cover multiple counties at once.
- States: seats are statewide, so spread actions across the state to avoid overconcentrating.
Progression
- Winning a seat gives an active term; you can campaign for future terms while serving.
- Skills and cash carry over between runs; build them to climb to higher offices.
- Party membership influences primaries; independents skip primaries.
