Politics Overview
Understand the path from public participation to office and government.
Open PoliticsThe political loop
Choose an eligible office and file for a race, raise campaign cash, target voter groups with rallies and advertisements, use polling to measure the contest, then participate in governing if elected.
Support is local and segmented
Campaign strength is tracked by county and conservative, moderate, and liberal voter group. A rally is narrow and local; an ad covers a media market. Biography strength and group affinity provide the starting foundation beneath those campaign points.
Office changes the available game
Candidates use campaign actions. Officeholders gain institution-specific work such as bills, debate, voting, leadership, and executive actions. The election and government guides explain the calculation and phase rules separately.
