Okay I have been in the discord for about a day and i,ve noticed that this community is on hard times: voter turnout looks terrible, the number of inactive citizens and political parties makes the discord look like a deserted wasteland, border control is choking our community, and voter fraud is rampant. Now i would love to start working on things that i believe in for the server but it looks like were basically in a state of emergency with the stagnancy that is plaguing our community. Im planning to form a one-issue party called the citizen engagement and accountability party (CEAP) unless I hear what is actually being done to address these issues. If you would like to hear my opinions on what needs to immediately be done:

1. clean out inactive political parties from the discord.
   i think a chance for each active party to contact either the discord supervisor or someone else in a position of power and restate their party's objective and policies. Any party that doesn't respond within a set timespan will be removed from the discord until they show activity.

2. focus efforts on bringing people in.
   ever since simulated online democracies started getting made there has been a question of why people join. I truly believe that it is a genuine interest in making a difference in a working democracy. So I think that showing people this will naturally bring more engagement to the server and reddit.

i think there is also something to be said about maybe lowering border control but keeping people online to watch out for people trying to disrupt the peace and we can deal with those through the set up legal system. I do understand that our border control is there for a reason and respect people who might have a problem with that

Now, for the countback.

Congratulations to [PLACEHOLDER]/minecraftfan69420 (on Discord) of the Civil Liberties Party on taking the Senate seat vacated by u/ClubWonderful4114!

You have been banned for a TOS violation, pursuant to Article 22, §2.4 of the Constitution and Article 15 of the Criminal Procedure Code. You have the right to appeal if you believe that your actions were not sufficiently egregious to warrant such enforcement action.

I joined r/SimDemocracy yesterday, and I’m currently waiting for my Discord application to be approved. In the meantime, I figured I’d introduce myself.

I’ve always had three lifelong obsessions: computers & programming, flight simulation & air traffic control, and, of course, politics & economics. While I’ve always wanted to become a software engineer, and only a few months ago decided I want to work as either a pilot or an air traffic controller, I’ve always been fascinated by how money, governments, and economies work around the world. I was introduced to the concept of PolSim just a few days ago when one of Trolligarch’s videos popped up in my YouTube feed, and I immediately decided that this was something I wanted to be a part of.

As for who I want to be in SimDemocracy, my main goal is to become a successful business owner, helping grow the economy, create jobs, and contribute to the prosperity of this glorious nation. Beyond that, I’m looking forward to meeting people, learning how everything works, and getting involved in the community.

Looking forward to seeing you all around—feel free to say hi or share any advice for a newcomer!

Please declare your candidacy.

Rules:

To vote and run for Speaker you must be a Senator elected through the 164th Senatorial Election. If you wish to run for Speaker, please phrase it such as “I, u/example, declare my candidacy for Speaker". If you wish to vote for a candidate to become duly elected Speaker, please phrase it such as “I vote for u/example” or something along those lines.

Btw how long does it usually take to join the discord? It made me submit an application and im still waiting.

Results here too!

Only two candidates, so...no election. As usual.

UPDATE (July 21, 2026):

It's a good thing that this election's results were certified provisionally, because upon further investigation I have decided to strike one additional vote from each of the election and the referendum, for the same reasons that I struck the others.

This brings turnout down to 17 valid votes for the referendum, and 33 valid votes for the election.

As for how this affects the results, here is how:

• The results of the Senatorial election are not affected.
• For the referendum, the margins change, which, of course, but I won't say exactly how because this gives away voter data I don't need to give away. Except for what I have to give away, which is that the second amendment is no longer ratified as a result of this vote's removal. So, folks, that means slavery is back on!

I will not share updated spreadsheets, as then you could pretty quickly see which vote was removed and find its data by comparing with the old one. Sorry.

There were a lot of fraud votes in this election. Because there were no live counts, my plug for the Discord this week will be that there's more explanation about it there. So...go check.

We had 18 valid votes.

On the question of whether or not to ratify Article 1 of the Reddit Voting Act (RVA) 2026, which would put in place additional requirements for ballot access, especially for Reddit-only voters, 38.89% voted Aye. This falls short of the 2/3 majority required for constitutional amendments, so this amendment is rejected.

On the question of whether or not to ratify the Slavery is...bad, actually Amendment, which would allow people to immediately resign from anything for any reason (as opposed to the current arrangement which allows for the Senate to pass exceptions to this rule as statute law), 66.67% voted Aye. This reaches the 2/3 majority required for constitutional amendments, so this amendment is ratified.
