October, 1936
The time had finally come. As the ballot boxes opened, people gathered, swarmed in even, and voted for the future of Norway. In her entire history, these elections were the most tumultous and important, as parties such as the Labour Party ran for a socialist ticket, while many other hoped to prevail the status quo.
But most knew that at that point, progress could not be stopped.
The results shocked most, and left even more speechless. The Labour Party won the elections, with a bare plurality.
Already a few hours after election results were announced, Politicians from the Farmer's Party and the Conservative Party would ramble, argue and protest, but they were powerless against it. The King had appointed Sverre Stostad as the new prime minister, and the government would already start working towards preparing to pass through their agenda.
But not all accepted the truth.
Vidkun Quisling, the leader of the Samling Nasjonal and the Samsfundsvernet and a staunch anti-syndicalist finally decided it was his time to strike and take down the syndicalists and socialists once, and for all.
On October 21st, main buildings of the Norwegian Broadcasting company in Oslo were taken over by Quisling's paramilitary, and a few hours later, Vidkun would be heard on all radios throughout southern and middle Norway. He spoke of the common enemy, the left, and the struggle to achieve greatness and "end the plague spanning over Norway". And many would turn on their radios, some would listen, and few would agree. Although Quisling wasn't met with as much success as he had hoped for, it didn't stop him from proceeding further.
The same day, massive protests from would break out amongst the populace and the socialist parties, demanding for the NS to be taken down and outright banned. Some even called for immediate and direct action. The protests soon broke out into fights and strikes and soon enough, most of Oslo would be engulfed in a general strike.
On October 22nd, Quisling's paramilitaries would stand outside of Oslo, ready to step in the parliament and "restore order". The government would try and prevent a fight, but it was already too late.
On the other side of the fence, the Red Guard, finansed by the National-Syndicalist and the Syndicalist wing of the Labour Party stood up and formed militias all around Oslo, claiming to be the only saviour of socialism in Norway after the government decided not to attack Quisling's paramilitarie

Due to the newest modding breakthroughs, it is now possible to add and remove new states, and other mods have shown us that there can be more than 3 candidates. Now that the German federal election is coming, I think it would be interesting to make a mod for it.
I have no experience whatsoever in coding the game, however I can help with the questions and other lore stuff. Due to the enormous amount of work required, and because of the need of accurate polling numbers and fresh scandals, it would probably be published after the election. If you have any suggestions, questions or would like to be a coder for the mod, please tell so!
P.S
If the maximum numbers of candidates/parties is 4 then I would recommend having CDU, SDP, Greens and either FDP or AFD. Also I have absolutely no idea how running mates would work.
