Abstract

A method and a system for playing a political game include distributing a number of PROPs to the players and establishing a first campaign for votes in voting districts. A general election is held where a country leader is determined by a majority of electoral votes won, a first legislative leader is determined by a majority of voting districts won and a minority of electoral votes won determines a second legislative leader. A judicial court is established. Money is distributed from a central bank. Voting district campaigning is engaged in where one player opposes a second player in a voting district. Legislative bills are submitted to the second legislative leader, the first legislative leader and to the country leader for approval. A subsequent general election is held and a winner of the political game is determined where the winner is the player that achieves a mandate.
