The American Commonwealth: A 2020 Election Game (Proposal/Sign Up Thread)

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Premise: Similar to our presidential election games, this project will be based around an America that never came to be during the revolution. As a result, America remained in British hands until confederation of the colonies during the 1780s. As there are only six parties, there will be only six players. However, once this election game is completed, I'm thinking of taking the results and opening them up as an open collaborative worldbuilding/Keys to the White House style project. But that will come once this election game is concluded.

Rules

Time: This election campaign will take place from Monday, August 24, through, a six week campaign. Each turn will last at least 72 hours, covering one week of campaigning. The election will be on Tuesday, October 6th, followed by an election night coverage of events.

Campaigns: You're free to make your own schedules and speeches, with normal campaigning being free. Each party will be able to PM the Game Moderator and ask for internal polls, canvassers/volunteers (to boost your campaign), endorsements (newspapers/organizations/celebrities) and advertising. The quality of these features will depend on a) the quality of the ask, b) the quality of the campaign being run, and c) the infrastructure of the party making the ask. You can of course also hold events or "interviews" to attack each other or promote yourself.

Debates: There will be one debate, in turns 5. The winner of each debate will receive a bonus in polling and enthusiasm.

Platforms: At the end of the first turn each party must publish a platform. In order to make this easy and simple, you will be required to write a list with your five main pledges. For example, the Greens can write on their platform"- Pass a Green New Deal” and so on. Manifestos will have a relevant impact and may be used by other players to attack you.

Polls: Some polls will be released to you each turn. But those polls are not 100% reliable, so be mindful of possible bias!

The Commonwealth of America.

Born from the nexus of history and philosophy, the Commonwealth of America is the foremost economic and military powerhouse on the North American continent and one of the most critical member states of the British Empire. With a total population of just shy of 350 million citizens representing a diverse variety of different demographics, the Commonwealth of America spans from the Artic to the Caribbean, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Bordered by Mexico and Cuba to the south, the Commonwealth is the predominant English speaking nation on the North American continent. The capital is located in the city of Philadelphia, though other prominent cities include Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Calgary, Charleston, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Detroit, Halifax, Houston, Las Angeles, Las Vegas, Liverpool, Miami, Minneapolis, Montreal, New York, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto, Vancouver, and Winnipeg.

A highly developed nation, the Commonwealth boasts an abundance of natural resources and a long tradition of industry. With the seventh highest GDP per capita and ranked first by the Human Development Index, the Commonwealth of America is both the foremost economic power of both North America and the broader British Empire. Its advanced economy, the fourth largest in the world, relies on well-developed trade networks, agricultural and industrial export, finance, technology, and tourism. America is part of several major international and intergovernmental institutions or groupings including the United Nations, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the G7 (formerly G8), the Group of Ten, the G20, the North American Free Trade Agreement and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum.

The Commonwealth of America is a federal parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy, with Queen Elizabeth II reigning as head of state, though executive powers are wielded through the Governor-General, who is appointed on the advice of the Prime Minister. The American Parliament is a bicameral legislative body, with the lower chamber, the House of Representatives, allocating its seats in proportion to population whereas the Senate consists of only two members for each province. The Dominion is a realm within the Commonwealth of Nations, and is officially bilingual. It ranks among the highest in international measurements of government transparency, civil liberties, quality of life, economic freedom, and education. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many other countries. The current Prime Minister is Justin Trudeau of the Liberal Party, while Paul Ryan is the leader of the Conservative Party, which constitutes the opposition. Other parties represented in Parliament include the Progressive Party, the American Party, the Reform Party, and the Grassroots Party.

Various indigenous peoples have inhabited what is now Canada for thousands of years prior to European colonization. Beginning in the 16th century, British and French expeditions explored, and later settled, along the Atlantic coast. As a consequence of various armed conflicts, France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763. What followed after was a period of unrest over taxation, colonial autonomy, and corruption led to the ultimate Confederation of Britain’s continental holdings. This began an accretion of provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy from the United Kingdom. This widening autonomy was highlighted by the Statute of Westminster of 1931 and culminated in the American Constitution Act of 1946, which severed the vestiges of legal dependence on the British parliament, except for the power to amend its constitution.

Major Parties as of 2020:

Conservative (Paul Ryan): The Conservatives find themselves well positioned to take back control of the House of Commons, but the rise of Donald Trump and the American Heritage Party has ensured that the Tories must face of challenges from both the right and the left. Under Paul Ryan, the party has recovered somewhat from the disastrous Bush-McCain era as well as former Prime Minister Romney's narrow defeat in 2015. Though Ryan was a polarizing figure during his five years as Minister of Finance under Prime Minister Romney, the Conservative Party's prospects have improved due to Ryan's unifying leadership. Whether they can overcome Prime Minister Trudeau's Liberal government remains uncertain.

Liberal (Justin Trudeau): Despite revitalizing the party and leading it to an upset victory in the 2015 federal election, the Liberal majority in the House is now threatened as Trudeau's star begins to fade. Facing questions over his involvement in the SNC-Lavalin affair, an embarrassing blackface scandal, and now the controversy over the WE Foundations payments to relatives, Trudeau is facing a tougher fight than he had four years ago. The Liberal Party is hoping that the election can once and for all put these controversies to rest.

Progressive (Elizabeth Warren): The Progressive Party has been in decline since the death of Jack Layton and the failure of his successor, Bernie Sanders, to grow the party. Resigning after an unexpectedly poor performance in the 2015 federal election, the Progressives elected Elizabeth Warren as their new leader. Though reliably left-wing, Warren is hoping to appeal to disaffected Liberal voters who might have soured on Trudeau while preventing a Conservative majority government.

American Heritage (Donald Trump): The American Heritage Party has long been in decline, with the resignation of Pat Buchanan after the 2008 election leaving a leadership void that was filled until 2016 by Tom Tancredo. But Tancredo's decision to retire from politics opened the doorway for a grassroots takeover of the party established by George Wallace in 1967, and the result of that revolt was the election of Donald Trump as party leader. Can Trump lead the party soaring to new heights? Or will his brash and at times erratic behavior doom the American Heritage Party's newfound momentum?

Reform (Justin Amash): Founded in David Nolan's living room in 1972, the Reform Party was a minor force until former Tory MP Ron Paul defected to it in 1987; following a by-election win in Alberta that elected Deborah Gray to parliament, the party surged in 1988 and 1993, displacing the Conservatives briefly in the latter election before facing further defeats in 1996 and 2000. In spite of these setbacks, Paul remained the leader of the party until his 2011 retirement, and was succeeded by the disastrous tenure of Gary Johnson, an MP from Arizuma. Now under the leadership of Justin Amash, an acolyte of Ron Paul (and his son Rand, an MP from Kentucky since 2010), the party is hoping to present itself as a better alternative to the Conservatives and American Heritage Party.

Grassroots (Elizabeth May): Founded by Ralph Nader in 1992, the Grassroots Party is an eco-socialist, environmentalist party that saw their first MP elected in 2010. Under Elizabeth May, the party has maintained a microscopic but consistent presence in the Commons. With Warren's relative lack of charisma and Trudeau's troubles, Elizabeth May and the Grassroots Party have an opportunity to reinvent and strengthen their party as concerns about climate change and social justice emerge at the forefront of American politics.

Minor Parties

American Action (Andrew Yang): Formed in 2019 by entrepreneur Andrew Yang, the American Action party is a technocratic, big tent movement formed around Yang's proposal for universal basic income. The party is currently without representation in parliament, though Yang intends to stand in the constituency of Manhattan while numerous other candidates have filed to get on the ballot in nearly twenty other ridings.

Bloc Quebecois (Rheal Fortin): The Bloc Quebecois is only active in the province of Canada's Francophone regions. The party advocates for Quebec's separation from the province, though many in the party seek to secede from the Commonwealth itself. Despite only fielding a handful of candidates, the Bloc is hoping that their strong presence in the provincial legislature can boost their chances of claiming all of the Francophone seats.

Party for Socialism and Liberation (Gloria LaRiva): The PSL dates back to 2003, when a number of small left wing parties and organizations banded together to form the most outwardly left wing party in America. Despite having never won a race, much less breaking 10% in any given riding, the party's reach is enough that it can field candidates in almost all of the constituencies.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

A full list of MPs and the riding map will be coming up shortly.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Awesome! Feel free to make a claim, but the game won't start until this weekend at the earliest.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

May I claim the Progressives?

Sure thing! I'll put your claim on the list.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

American Heritage please?

May I claim the Liberals?

Granted!

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Both granted. We need a Conservative and a Grassroots player and then we're set. If more people want to join, I've added three new parties. However, these parties do not hold any seats, and it will be the duty of the player to get into the House of Commons. I'd prefer someone take the Conservatives or the Grassroots first. Once the main six parties are filled, I'll allow others to join as the minor parties.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Out of curiosity (not that I'm seriously interested in playing the game), who is the Governor-General?

I was thinking Collin Powell.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Any conflicts and is colonialism still around. (Even a little bit)

That will mostly be covered in the game, but America is part of the broader British Empire, which includes Britain, the Commonwealth of America, the Dominion of Australasia (NZ and Australia), as well as several other Caribbean possessions. The world is dominated by the three superpowers - Russia, China, and the British Empire. Conflicts like Vietnam and Korea took place as OTL, but with a more direct British role. The history of the game's background will be revealed overtime. When we reach part two (the world building based around the result), I'll go really in depth.

Britain is at war in Afghanistan due to 9/11 (which targeted both NYC and London - not sure on the details but I'll cook up something else), and many of the present conflicts in the world are still taking place.

Also, the Commonwealth of America has a Senate, but they won't play a role in the election. I'll put a Senators list up at some point for the sake of worldbuilding, but don't expect anything uniquely interesting.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Any open parties?

The Conservatives or Grassroots are still open. The Liberals, Progressives, and AHP have been claimed. Alternatively, you can wait until the other two parties are filled and play one of the three parties that are not represented in parliament, but one of those parties (the Bloc) is constricted to part of one province.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Out of curiosity (not that I'm seriously interested in playing the game), who is the Governor-General?

I was thinking Collin Powell.

Yeah, I figured he'd be the most reasonable choice according to all sides.

Great choice.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Could I get a list of who is running for the American Party (I admit that of the remaining choices, I'd be at least mildly interested in playing as Andrew Yang, even if he's got no shot to actually be Prime Minister).

Otherwise, I'll wait until the Keys segments come out, as playing as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Barack Obama in a future election appeals to me...

A list of candidates for each riding will be published, but it'll take me a day or two to finish that. There are 351 seats in the House and there is an election map that I will post once I get the background information finished.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Can I take the Conservatives?

Granted!

I’ll take Grassroots

Granted!

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I admit that I almost never have interest playing as a conservative...but if Paul Ryan is now available...

That's really tempting, actually.

I got a PM from another poster who is trying to figure out if they'll have the time. I promised to hold the spot open until tomorrow. If it isn't taken by then, it's yours.

Remember guys, when you post your schedules, be sure to use non-copyrighted images and proper attribution. There are plenty of pictures on Wikipedia Commons to use that are in the public domain.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I'm sorry to do this already but I don't think I have enough time to dedicate to this game. I figured it would be best to tell you before everything got started, rather than after. I will be following along because this is a fantastic concept with some great players already signing up, but I just don't think I've got enough time, I'm very sorry.

It's all good! The second phase of this project will give everyone more flexibility. You're more than welcome to rejoin later as one of the minor parties or in the second phase. I'm just glad people are interested.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

When will official gameplay begin?

When we get a conservative player and when I finish the last bit of background. It could be Wednesday at the latest, but I can power through the last part of the TOTAL MP list (351 seats in all) as well as the full list of candidates per riding by Monday. I made a ton of progress today and will have it all laid out by Monday hopefully.

2015 Electoral Map

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Premier Pat McCrory

Well, sh**t, now I have to be the leader of the Grassroots Party--Who else is going to stop Cis Rights Pat? The Libs, probably, but a girl can dream.

On a sidenote, while I was editing the map to be just provinces, I noticed you forgot Nevada.

EDIT: Montana, too.

EDIT #2: Puerto Rico has been left out of the premier list, as well.

I’ll be sure to correct those tomorrow! Thanks for the map too!

If you'd like to take the Grassroots Party, we'd be happy to have you!

Also thanks for pointing out the oversights on the two lists. I'm working on correcting them now. The map you made is fantastic!

EDIT: Forgot I allowed Jakobisgood to be the Grassroots. You can take the Tories or we could arrange a trade. The background information is now mostly complete! Hopefully we'll be able to launch by tomorrow.

Actually, I'm not gonna do the candidates list per riding. It'll take forever. I'm going to say that there is a candidate for all six major parties in all 351 ridings.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

My bad, I had forgotten about this. This isn't dead but it isn't fully alive either. It required a lot more work than I realized and I haven't had the time.

Thinking of rebooting this, but with a smaller country and a slightly different background. It'll be easier to simulate the result that way.

Your claim is still good. I'm waiting to here back from a potential co-moderator, and I'm currently redrafting the background information.

What does everyone think of using an independent New England for the country? I have a basemap I can use for it.

I'm putting it together in piecemeal fashion. Not sure when I'll be able to launch it, but I think I'm going to use this concept. I have a basemap from an AH.com project, as well as a list of complete riding results and a swing calculator that I can use to simulate the results from.
