Voting/Election System

How about a law that allows players to vote on what sort of voting system their nation uses. For example some options could be:
First Past the Post
Proportional Representation
Electoral College
German Style Proportional Representation (a different name would be needed for this option)

Obviously it would be a constitutional change so would require 2/3 of a legislature to support it. I'd love to hear your thoughts/opinions and any other ideas you have for other voting systems ext..

It would be wonderful if we could do that, but the game mechanics do not facilitate different voting systems for generating election results, so introducing a law like this would not be very practical.

I wonder, is there any way a programmer could implemetn such mechanics? I have a basic knowledge of computer science and we programming and I dont think it ould imossible to add some mechanics.... Im not sure though? Do you know if the developer ever plans to update the game or relaunch the sequel or anything lke thayt??

I believe development has ceased on Particracy Classic, although I'm not sure if Wouter (the developer) is still working on a successor game.

That's correct. I'm not personally involved with Particracy Dev so can't really say much about it, but for more information, I would recommend contacting Wouter directly (lievenswouter@gmail.com ). You might also check out: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5940
