Party Organization

Party organization (org) is a 0–100 score that represents how well-organized your party is in a given state. High org boosts your candidates' vote totals in generals, improves your GOTV efficiency, and expands the maximum org your party can achieve in that state. Low org means your party punches below its voter base.

The Org Score

Each party-state combination has its own org score tracked in the statePartyOrg collection. The score ranges from 0 to a cap that is determined by how many offices your party holds.

The Org Cap

The cap starts at 15 (the CAP_BASE) for any party in any state, even with zero representation. It grows based on elections your party has won:

For UK parties:

For Germany (Bundestag) and Japan (Shūgiin), the primary chamber contributes 60 points; the upper chamber contributes 25. All countries start at the 15-point base, for a maximum of 100.

Cap Movement

After each election, the cap contribution for that office type is updated based on your current seat share. The contribution moves from its current value toward the new target over the turns until the next election of the same type. This means losing the governorship doesn't instantly collapse your org cap — it decays gradually over the election cycle.

Building Org

Organization grows through spending. Your state party treasurer or chair sets an org building budget as a percentage of the state party's income each turn. The revenue allocated to org building converts to org points at a rate of $75,000 per +1 org per turn (the DOLLARS_PER_ORG constant).

When you are actively investing in org building, your org grows each turn up to the cap. When you stop investing, org decays.

Org Decay

When no revenue is allocated to org building, the org score decays by 0.25 per turn (ORG_DECAY_RATE). At maximum decay with no investment, it takes 400 turns to go from 100 to 0 — roughly 8 game years.

If org building investment restarts, decay stops and growth resumes immediately.

Election Momentum

Winning elections generates a momentum bonus that temporarily accelerates org growth. Momentum bonuses by office type (player wins):

Losses generate a penalty of half the win value (MOMENTUM_LOSS_MULTIPLIER = 0.5). NPP election results generate half the momentum of player results (NPP_MOMENTUM_MULTIPLIER = 0.5).

Why Org Matters

In general elections, the vote appeal formula includes a party org scalar:

partyOrgScalar = 0.5 + (statePartyOrg / 100) × 0.5

This scalar ranges from 0.5× at org 0 to 1.0× at org 100. A party at max org produces twice as many votes per unit of appeal as a party at zero org. Org is effectively a 2× vote multiplier between its floor and ceiling — the single most impactful lever for sustained electoral dominance in a state.

GOTV budget spending also scales with org: a more organized party gets more out of the same GOTV dollar.

Presence Requirement

Org building can only be set by state-level officers if the party has presence in that state — at least one player character or one elected official (player or NPP). National chairs can invest in org building for states where the party has no presence yet, as a way to expand the party's footprint before players arrive.

If presence is lost (last player leaves, last official loses their seat), the org building budget is automatically reset to 0%.
