The United States of America

The United States of America is a federal republic in North America and is featured as the main location of Election Year Knockout. The differences between the in-game America and the country in real life are ambiguous, but they are presumably similar. Before the player defeats him, Donald Thump is the country's President.

## Presidential Election

Elections can be described as "might makes right". Citizens do not vote for a President, rather anyone who wishes to become President must compete in boxing matches to come out on top. The person the incumbent President loses to is then elected President.

## Regions

Regions are key to winning elections since instead of states voting through the electoral college, boxers/candidates gain votes by holding the electoral regions. The regions in the game are as follows:

The deep south is a region in southeastern United States and is the most politically and socially conservative region. In the game, the region is made up of Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and North Carolina. The region is held by Jab Bush and the Republican party, and is the first region where you go to fight in the game.
