Role Acquisition by Constitution Type
Anarchy: Universal Permissions
How It Works In anarchist societies, every adult citizen automatically receives all permissions. There are no separate roles to acquire or elections to win.
What This Means
- All citizens can access society finances, create policies, and manage infrastructure
- No application or appointment processes needed
- Leadership emerges through community recognition rather than official positions
Electoral Autocracy: Elections and Appointments
Presidential Elections Presidents are elected through automatic ballots that occur every 72 hours.
Step-by-Step: Running for President players can add their seedlings as candidate for an ongoing election by pressing the apply button next to the president role in the roles tab
Step 1: Access Roles Tab - Navigate to your society's roles section in the interface. Step 2: Find Presidential Election - Look for ongoing presidential elections in the roles tab. Step 3: Apply as Candidate - Press the apply button next to the president role to submit your candidacy. Step 4: Select Your Seedling - Choose which of your Seedlings will run for president from the dropdown list. Step 5: Submit Application - Complete the candidacy process - your Seedling will appear as an option for other players to vote on.

Once elected, presidents can directly assign other government roles like Treasurer and Legislator to other citizens without requiring additional elections.
