PRESIDENT/PRIME MINISTER ELECTION

The Prime Minister Election is the first election of the month, so we shall discuss this first. The Prime Minister is also known as the President, but in this guide we will use the term PM. To be the PM, you must be at level 18 (300 XP) and part of a party. But if you recently reached level 18, don’t get too optimistic about thinking of running, as you must also have plenty of experience in the government if you are to be endorsed by the party. As stated above, the election is on the 5th. Up to five candidates can run in this election, with the largest parties taking part of the election is more than 5 candidates run. Before the election, they can chose Country Goals, such as Increase Population x%, Improve Economy y%, Gain and/or keep regions. However, this is not of importance, as the main part of this election is the manifestos. The candidates usually write a series of manifestos dealing with a variety of issues, such as the economy, domestics, foreign affairs and military. While this is a virtual job, the stress is real, as the PM is always being kept busy with all the happenings of the country. This is a position not to be held lightly. If the Prime Minister is impeached, the runner up of the election becomes the next Prime Minister.

PARTY PRESIDENT ELECTION

The Party President (PP) Election is held on the 15th on the each month. To run for PP, you must be a member of any party, and must candidate before the 15th. You must also be at least level 16 (180 XP). The Party President is the leader of each party, and if he or she is the leader of a party that is in the top 5, they also organise who runs in the Congress Elections. They also select who (if anyone) will represent their party in the Prime Minister election. If the Party President resigns, the person with the highest XP in that party becomes the new PP.

CONGRESS/PARLIAMENT ELECTION

The Congress elections are held every 25th of the month. Congress (aka Parliament) usually consists of around 40 people selected from each of the regions in the eUK. The eUK has 12 original regions, which means 3 candidates are chosen in each region, plus 4 wildcards, those with the most votes who are not in the top 3 (usually in London, which has the most population). However, the distribution of Congress frequently changes based on how many regions the eUK currently occupies or is being occupied by foreign nations. To run for Congress, you need to be a member of a top 5 party and be at level 15 (150 XP). Congress votes on a variety of issues on eRepublik, usually Mutual Protection Pacts (MPPs), tax changes and donations to bank accounts. However, the majority of the work done by Congress is over at the UK forums, where they discussion and vote on legislation in the House of Commons.

Political Parties

A political party is the foundation of politics. While the top 5 parties usually gain most of the attention, smaller parties can be just as valuable, if not even better. You can join a party or go to your party's page if you are already in one by going to the Community tab and clicking My Party. Each party has a social (ex: Libertarian, Authoritarian, etc) and economic orientation (Left, Right, Centre, etc). You can only join a party in the same country as your citizenship.
