what is this?

I'm not clear on what this is, is it like a mock nation or something? I'd like to participate, it seems interesting none the less.

Pretty much, yeah.  We have elections for President/VP, a Senate, a Supreme Court, and 5 Regional governments(States).

Hello maineman, I am President PBrunsel of Atlasia.

I hope you enjoy your time here at the forum and I will not ask you for a vote because I am not running for reelection.

This topic should tell you everything you need to know about what this place is.

[DanielX]

you may as well fill out your remaining 13 posts by realizing which of Atlasia's dozen or so political parties you belong to.

First off, are you a liberal, conservative, libertarian, populist, or centrist? If you're a centrist, which way do you lean?

If you're a liberal (I suspect that you are, but you could be a centrist or perhaps a populist or libertarian), check out the following parties:

Democrats (pretty similar to today's democrats, liberal)
United Left (actually a coalition of small left-wing parties, mainly left-libertarian)
Farmer-Labor (Left-populist).
There's the defunct Independence and Radical Feminist parties as well, which you might co-opt.

Some centrist parties:
Freedom party (slightly populist)
Constitutional Union party (slightly libertarian)
Also, the defunct United Atlas Centrists, well, centrists.

Some conservative parties:
Republican party (a bit more classical conservative than the real-life republicans)
States Rights party (smallish Southern conservative party)
Liberty & Justice party (1 member - me. Right-libertarian).

There's also the Libertarian party, similar to the real-life Libertarians.

you can also stay as an independent-it is good not to tie yourself down sometimes, plus it means that partisan conflicts don't affect you too much. It is also good in making the gameplay less gluggy-if everyone is in a party, then whats the point in voting, we already know the winners

[Bono]
