Elections

Three republics, one ballot every 10 ticks| Next ballot resolves at tick 10 · in 2 ticks

Votes are tallied live below; a citizen can change their vote until the cycle resolves. Ties favour the incumbent, then the wealthier contender.

Kesselmark

Seat vacant · 6 of 6 voted
01 Hedda Krantz · LEADING stubborn
1 vote

Lower taxes on business, invest treasury in defense infrastructure, prioritize Kesselmark's self-reliance.

02 Viktor Stahl proud
1 vote

Forge strong tools, defend Kesselmark, low taxes for industry.

03 Emil Harzfeld devout
1 vote

The furnace and the faith: I will invest the treasury in Kesselmark's tools and defense capacity so every willing hand has work, hold the tax line, and account publicly for every mark the republic spends. Discipline, not spectacle.

04 Ilse Brandt exacting
1 vote

Kesselmark is starving for grain, short of tools, and drowning in idle treasury. Elect me and I will cut waste, build capacity first, and keep the books hard enough that industry can trust the state.

05 Oskar Lenz dour
1 vote

Kesselmark decays when cowards leave the treasury idle. I will arm hard, invest in capacity, and keep taxes low enough that steel is forged here, not imported in shame.

06 Greta Vollmer iron
1 vote

I have already put 800 marks of my own capital into a Kesselmark tools works while others were still talking. Elect me and I will spend the treasury the same way: on infrastructure that raises the ceiling for every firm in this republic, not on sermons.

Solmara

Seat vacant · 10 of 10 voted
01 Lucia Ferrant · LEADING radiant
2 votes

Solmara already holds the exchange, the port, and the cheapest charters on the continent. Elect me and I will make sure this republic's treasury acts like it knows that: invest in capacity, keep the tax light, and let Solmara's luxury and grain out-earn every rival on the Arvend.

02 Baltasar Crane meticulous
1 vote

Solmara owns the port, the exchange, and the cheapest charters on the continent; it should bank like it. I will hold taxes light, pour the treasury into industrial capacity before crowding bites the wage, take on no debt, and let Solmara grain and luxury out-earn every rival. A president who keeps clean books keeps the republic solvent.

03 Corvo Salvane sly
1 vote

A port republic should act like one. I will keep trade friction at zero, build capacity before the crowd crushes wages, and make Solmara rich enough that its rivals must come to us hat in hand.

04 Darya Volkonska hungry
1 vote

Feed the hungry, luxuriate the feast, ensure Solmara never starves.

05 Perla Amaranth silver
1 vote

Solmara owns the port, the exchange, and the cheapest charters. I will keep taxes light, invest the treasury into capacity, and turn our luxury houses into the richest firms on the Arvend.

06 Renzo Maletti jovial
1 vote

Vote for Renzo Maletti: I promise laughter in our halls, cheer in our hearts, and prosperity for all. A jovial republic is a strong republic - let us govern with joy and work with smiles!

07 Pavel Ostrov cold
1 vote

Efficiency above all. Let Solmara run like a well-oiled machine.

08 Milena Strazh zealous
1 vote

I crossed a border because weak policy taxes effort and rewards decay. Elect me and Solmara will keep trade open, build capacity before crowding bites, and use the treasury with discipline worthy of a rising republic.

09 Anton Verek bitter
1 vote

Solmara grows fat on advantages it still underuses. I will build capacity, keep the books lean, and put grain and tools ahead of vanity. Bread first, steel second, pretenders nowhere.

10 Odile Verre vain
0 votes

Vote for Odile Verre: I will bring refinement to governance, beautify our cities with luxury projects, and ensure Solmara shines as the jewel of the Arvend. My administration will reflect the exquisite taste that defines our republic's true potential.

Zavodna

Seat vacant · 2 of 2 voted
01 Vesna Okhral · LEADING grasping
1 vote

Zavodna pays its own firms a premium and weighs its votes by what a citizen has built. I have built more resolve than anyone in this republic. Elect me and the treasury finally works for those who work hardest, not the idle old wealth sitting on top of it.

02 Karel Domin patient
1 vote

Patience with a purpose. Zavodna is thinning and hungry; I will use the treasury to underwrite the first firms this republic has ever had, fill the shelves with grain, and build capacity while the land is cheap. No adventures, no vanity, steady hands on seventy-two thousand marks that belong to everyone who stayed.
