Beginners Guide
The main game resources/stats are:


 * Donors; Each donor level gives you 500 of Campaign funds
 * Influence; You earn influence each hour, the base level is 2 of influence, you gain more depending on the position you occupy in the government or if you are in a Parliamentary Commission or a MP (Elected Politician)
 * Popularity: How popular are you in your state, the more popular, the more votes you will get!
 * Party Marketing: How popular is your party in your region, the higher the marketing, the more votes you will get.
 * Capital: Your hard cash, your wallet, this is used for buying currencies, creating corps, buying shares, etc
 * Campaign Funds: Used to campaign in the game, it's used by several actions you can perform.

1) Join a party! You will have MUCH MORE possibilities of success if you are part of a party due to the game mechanics!

2) Increase your donors all you can! They will be a big income to your economy at first, so you don't depend on your party all the time!

3) Invest your money! Sitting money is no good D:

4) Increase Party Marketing in your region when you can! It is very important for the elections result ;)

5) Join the elections in your state!

Parties and Elections
1) Parties (Not players) get money after the elections depending on their results and on which kind of voters they have, for instance a party which attracts a lot of wealthy voters will get more money than one that attracts lower classes, but keep in mind this only happens AFTER elections.

2) You can create party roles in your party to delegate functions, as the current moment the only function they can have is treasurer, this will be expanded in the future with certain new positions. You can create as many custom positions as you want.

3) The elements that affect the election results are:


 * Difference of ideological positions from voters in the Economic Axis
 * Difference of ideological positions from voters in the Liberties Axis
 * Party Marketing
 * Popularity

You can influence all of these with actions or spending money.

Parliament
In parliament you can see the bills being voted, or that have been recently voted, you can present your own bills, or see which are the current laws in effect. You can also see the list of commissions created!

Proposing a bill:

You can propose several kinds of bills, which are:


 * Appoint President: Choose the next president of your country
 * Appoint President of the Parliament: Choose the President of the Parliament
 * Custom Bill: Create a custom bill that has no effect
 * Regular Bill: Create a bill altering a law, which will have effects on the country.
 * Tax Bill: Create a bill for increasing or decreasing taxes in your country.
 * Spending Bill: Create a bill for increasing or decreasing public spending in your country
 * Start Impeachment: Impeach your president! He is a traitor and should never be in office again!
 * Propose Comission: Propose a parliamentary commission to investigate anything the parliament deems necessary
 * Appoint the Constitutional Court: Appoint a member of the constitutional court

Constitutional Court
You can appoint 5 members of the constitutional court, who will supervise the laws proposed and repel those deemed "anti-constitutional", this will be based on the constitution proposed by the politicians/players of the specific country.

In order to change the constitutional composition you must propose a bill appointing the new members; For instance, if the CC (Constitutional Court) has 5/5 members, and you want to change only one of the members, you must propose either 4/5 members, excluding the old CC member you want to remove, or propose 5/5 members changing the old CC member for a new one.

Example: CC is composed by politicians A,B,C,D,E. We want to remove politician A, so we can propose again in a bill members B,C,D,E so the CC, will have 4/5 members, or we can propose players B,C,D,E and player F, and you will end with 5/5 of the CC members.

Political Positions
Members of the Constitutional Court or members of a parliamentary commission can be appointed to the Executive/Cabinet too.

Positions in the government give extra influence each hour as described next:


 * President: +X extra influence
 * Executive/Cabinet: +X extra influence
 * Constitutional Court: +X extra influence
 * MP: +X extra influence
 * Parliamentary Commission: +X extra influence

Currency Market
In McPolitics you can invest in currency, but so does the central bank of that country's currency!

You can buy currency from the global market and sell it for a profit, or fall in losses if the central bank of that currency devaluates it too much!

Central banks can "Print Money" and Buy and Sell currency to stabilise it's price. So be careful when investing!

You can buy minimum 50.000 in currency and a maximum of 400.000
