GriffGraph: Balance of Power Comparisons (Past 30 Days) + ARISTOCRACY WATCH

[Adam Griffin]

For your pleasure, I am releasing the eighth set of Balance of Power rankings to give everyone an idea of the status of each region. If there are any mistakes in allocation of legislative/executive/judicial seats, please let me know ASAP and I will correct. You can view the last GriffGraph Balance of Power Comparisons here.

SPECIAL: ARISTOCRACY WATCH - (GriffGraph Balance of Power Results by Party & Region vs. Actual Constituency)

1.00 = Equal representation compared to population
>1.00 = More representation than population (aristocracy)
< 1.00 = Less than representation than population (disenfranchisement)



National Average:

Just a quick average of the five regions gives us the following results:

OTH   0.40
IND   0.49
LIB    0.70
LAB   0.94
FED   1.05
TPP   2.00


The first set of images show plurality/majority party affiliation by region:





The second set of images compare an aggregate of voter registration, executive, legislative and judicial control to effectively determine which parties have the most power:





Finally, an image depicting the swing in each region – based on the Balance of Power maps above:

Thank you for these great maps!

You're welcome!

Thanks, Adam

How did the Pacific have a Federalist swing, though?

Nowadays, I just calculate the current Census and elected number and compare the numbers to the previous GriffGraph:

Any given party's power = ((% of voters in region) + (% of legislative seats controlled) + (% of executive/judicial seats controlled) / 3).

Looks like Fed registration would have been the culprit; Labor, Liberal and TPP all lost ground since December 24 (albeit by small amounts). Still, the Feds' gains weren't enough to put them in the top 3 parties in the region.

Adam, have you made maps of previous presidential elections? If so, it'd be cool to see them featured on the atlas wiki along with the election results themselves.

They're different scenarios (first count in June, final count in October).

That's some good stuff man. Looking forward to seeing how this one shapes up.

Dang, look at the mideast

[Talleyrand]

Dang, look at the mideast

Large pendulum swings are bound to happen when we live in the most competitive and active region in Atlasia. :/

Which is now only the third largest region. No doubt, the stench of Fed has stunted its growth.

Special Update: GriffGraph has released its Grifficient measurements, which correlates regional power by party to the actual constituency of that party in each region.

1.00 = Equal representation compared to population
>1.00 = More representation than population (aristocracy)
< 1.00 = Less than representation than population (disenfranchised)

LAB   0.94
FED   1.05

Ben and I (Franzl if you are counting At-Large Senate seats) are really skewing the region for The People, I see.

The Federalist seems reasonably distributed everywhere but the Midwest and Pacific, while TPP is "over-represented" everywhere We have members.

[Goldwater]

I see that the party who claims to represent "The People" is actually the most aristocratic party.

TPP should rename themselves The Politicians' Party.

[Simfan34]

The TPP is a party of popular office holders. We are the nexus of this nation's politics- voters gravitate to us, even if they don't join.

[TJ in Oregon]

It makes perfect sense that the TPP would be over-represented by office-holders because the TPP's original make-up was largely a non-ideological collection of people with a long history in Atlasia, the old guard in many respects, the type of people who are more likely to outperform the partisan breakdown of an election.

Last one, I promise. Honestly, I need to stop: I'm going to spoil you guys before too long.
