Actually the Roman Republic kinda had an electoral college system, just based on class, not regions. (Well, the Tribal Assembly was kinda based on region, but that's not as commonly used) Edit: Oof...Lepidus is just "a third guy".

A fun fact - because of how the EU Parliament works, my vote in Estonia is worth almost 5x the vote of a German. :) I'm Portuguese so my vote is worth 3x more in Estonia... So obviously I choose to vote for Estonia. (Math: Voters / number of MEPs per country)

Theoretically, you could win each province with 2 votes each. Just have everybody except for 2 of them vote for a unique party, and the remaining 2 vote for yours. You will have the majority.

@DaRealKakarroto 19 күн бұрын

As a proud inhabitant of Pannonia Superior, I say we keep our glorious system the same, the Imperial faction has always had all our best in mind, and we need to keep backing them up. Especially in their endeavours across the Danube, you can see their good will and intend to serve us all, not like the senatorial faction, who intents to just increase taxes for some more far away circuses.

4:30 this is a big problem in provinces like Judea, despite the imperials never getting more than a fifth of the vote and being intensely despised by the locals, the bitter rivalry between the regional parties like the Judean People's Front and the People's Front for Judea sometimes spilling over into armed clashes, has ensured that even the votes that haven't been suppressed get split, leading to the imperials always winning in the province.

The funny thing is this would be a Massie improvement on the actual Romn system. In real life, the Plebians, 90% of the population of the city of Rome, got a whopping 1 vote. Also, you could only vote if you could afford to actually travel to the city of Rome for the election.

@hidderaven7890 20 күн бұрын

Would have been cool if you added somthing about only roman citizens being allowed to vote, but still counting for the electoral college. Maybe each non citizen count for 3/5's of a citizen for the electoral votes. With large parts of the border provinces not being citizens, this would rig the vote even further infavour of the imperial factions.
