[h3]Germany[/h3]

The country comes with proportional electoral system and the optional possibility to have candidate preferences. Seats of the house are adjustable up to 500. In future there will be mixed electoral systems as well and each country will be able to switch to new systems.



In parliamentary republics and constitutional monarchies, the government needs the support of the majority of the parliament to enter in force. After elections, coalitions may be formed to reach this goal. Motions of confidence can be asked by opposition as well.



[h3]Localizations[/h3]

The game now supports localizations. Some incredible guys already started working on french and portuguese.
