Politics

**Politics** were introduced to SCT2 on 3rd October 2022, in the 0.2 pre7 update.

## Elections

Elections are held every 50th day. Before the elections, you will be asked, if you want to affect the election results. You will be shown a list of parties, and you can sabotage and fund them. Be aware, that you can sabotage only one party and also fund only one party. If you fund two parties, the latter one will be executed, but you will be charged twice.

If you choose to sabotage a party, there is a 1/3 chance you get caught and will be fined. Your reputation will also go down by 0,05-0,5 (1 reputation is normal). The fine will be 1-4 \* sabotage sum, and it can get you bankrupt.

When you are ready, you can click to continue to election results. Results are pretty random, the randomizer logic is in the next chapters.

### Effect of Funding and Sabotaging

If you are funding one of the three big parties with under 50 000 dollars, it will by default get x/7000\*y/10 seats more, where x is funded sum and y random number 1-20. For smaller parties, under 70 000 dollars, 7000 changes to 13 000 and 1-20 to 3-20.

If you are funding with bigger sums, the seats will grow by default by xy, where x is random number 3-6 and y random number 0-7. There is a risk for not getting any more seats by funding.

If you sabotaged a big party without getting caught with under 70 000 dollars, effect is x/13000\*yz, where x the sum of money used, y random number 0,1-2 and z random number 0-2. Almost same for smaller parties.

For bigger sums, the seats get removed by (x+y)z, where x random number 3-6, y random number 0-7 and z random number 0-2. There is a bigger chance is sabotaging for it to give no effect.

### When total seat count is not 200

Total seats must be 200. If it's not one seat gets added or removed from random parties until total seat count is 200.

Chance to parties for getting more seats:

* SD ~21 %
* R ~17 %
* NAT ~20 %
* GREEN ~20 %
* COMM ~3 %

Chance to get seats removed:

* SD ~34 %
* R ~28 %
* NAT ~17 %
* GREEN ~10 %
* COMM ~7 %

The numbers are decided by looking at election results and seeing who is winning all the time.
