Role: Head of State

Party: Democratic Party (Establishment)

Ideology: Atari Liberalism^note Liberalism

In-Game Biography ^{Click to Show}Albert Arnold Gore Jr. is a man not many would expect to be destined for the Presidency, though few can deny it is as entirely unlikely. Born to Senator Al Gore Sr., a man well-known for being one of very few southern liberals in the ‘60s, Gore Jr. would eventually inherit his father’s values of staying true to one’s beliefs and run with them throughout his career. After finishing up his service in the West African War in the late 1960s, Gore entered the realm of politics as an investigative reporter, gaining respect among his colleagues for his hard work and integrity. Few ever expected Gore to ever run for political office, but in 1976, he ran a successful campaign for his father’s old seat in the House of Representatives.

Gore would hold onto this position for nearly a decade until his ascent to the Senate in 1985. His work in Congress’s upper chamber earned him a reputation as a technocratic pragmatist and a champion of the new style of “Atari Liberalism” put forth by President Gary Hart. In terms of policy,Gore would spend his time working to balance the budget, invest in new technologies like the internet, and defend the NASA and NHS programs.

In 1992, Gore successfully sought the Democratic nomination for President, defeating Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton. He would later go on to defeat incumbent President Dick Cheney in a landslide victory.

It’s been seven years since Gore’s first inauguration, and in that time, the average American has come to appreciate the many achievements of his administration. President Gore has presided over the launching of the Mark II Shuttle, the passing of the landmark Environmental Responsibility Act, and the mass expansion and popularization of the internet, to name only a few of the President’s many achievements.

Now, in the year 2000, President Gore plans to stay neutral in the upcoming primaries, instead choosing to throw his weight behind serving out the remainder of his term with grace and efficiency.

Robert F. Kennedy

Role: Foreign Minister

Party: Democratic Party

Ideology: Dynastic Liberalism^note Liberalism

In-Game Biography ^{Click to Show}Robert Francis “Bobby” Kennedy’s life is nothing short of extraordinary. Born to the affluent Irish-American Kennedy family, Robert acquainted himself with politics at an early age, groomed by his father Joseph P. Kennedy to one day overlook his vast political empire. Being third in line to inherit his father’s legacy, Robert was initially overlooked — bit after the death of his eldest brother, JPK Jr., Bobby would have to step up as a second-in-command.

In 1962, after a brief stint as Attorney General, Bobby was elected to the Senate. There, he worked to aid his brother Jack as he navigated his role as Vice President. Robert’s older brother would soon ascend to the Presidency after the shameful resignation of President Richard Nixon, but Jack’s tenure would prove to be a brief one — ending in his tragic assassination a mere month into his term.

This tragedy would have a tremendous effect on Bobby, inspiring him to seek the NPP’s nomination for President in 1964 in an effort to protect his late brother’s legacy. Unfortunately, his efforts would come up short, and the party would instead run with the Dixiecrat George Wallace for the General Election. Wallace would later be inaugurated as the nation’s next Commander-in-Chief in January 1965.

Bobby would continue to diligently serve in the Senate for thirty more years, eventually achieving the office of Senate Majority Leader. In 1980, he achieved what he had failed to do in 1964 by gaining his party’s nomination for President, but the highest office in the land would once again elude him when, by the slimmest of margins, he was defeated by actor-turned-presidential-candidate Ronald Reagan.

Bobby would officially retire from his senatorial duties in 1992 after then-President-Elect Al Gore offered him the prestigious position of Secretary of State. Bobby eagerly accepted the offer, and has ever since carried out his role to the best of his abilities.

Michael Dukakis

Role: Economy Minister

Party: Democratic Party

Ideology: Dynastic Liberalism^note Liberalism

In-Game Biography ^{Click to Show}Michael “Iron Mike” Dukakis may seem like a strange choice for Secretary of the Treasury, but that doesn’t discredit him as a nonsensical one. Born to a family of Greek immigrants in Brookline, Massachusetts, this bright, young Harvard graduate would serve in the Army before beginning his political career as a member of the Massachusetts State Legislature.

In 1974, Dukakis prevailed in his run for the Governorship of Massachusetts. He served well in this capacity, running a technocratic and pragmatic administration that presided over a booming state economy. This achievement, which defied the overall economic slump that gripped the nation at the time, would be dubbed the “Massachusetts Miracle”.

In 1992, Dukakis sought the Democratic-Progressive nomination for President, but finished second behind Senator Al Gore. After Gore’s victory in the 1992 General Election, however, Dukakis was selected to be Gore’s Secretary of the Treasury. In this role, Secretary Dukakis has worked to bring the Massachusetts Miracle nationwide.

Wesley Clark

Role: Defense Minister

Party: Democratic Party

Ideology: Dynastic Liberalism^note Liberalism

In-Game Biography ^{Click to Show}General Wesley Kanne Clark stands at the forefront of the American War Machine, having served for over three decades in the United States Army. After graduating valedictorian from West Point, Clark would go on to prove himself a skilled officer in West Africa and the Middle East. Over the next twenty years, he would take command of American forces across the globe from Free France to Israel.

By 1997, Clark had been appointed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. After the resignation of Secretary of Defense William J. Perry, President Gore could think of but one replacement — the Chairman himself. Throughout his three years in the President’s Cabinet, Clark has worked to defend the United states from enemies foreign and domestic, and has worked to uphold truth, justice, and the American way abroad.

Joe Biden

^{Al Gore Minister}

Role: Head of Government,Head of State (Election 2000)

Party: Democratic Party

Ideology: Dynastic Liberalism^note Liberalism

In-Game Biography ^{Click to Show}There is no man more qualified for the office of President Of The United States than Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., the honorable gentleman from Delaware. Born to a working class family in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Biden would start his career as a lawyer shortly after graduating from the University of Delaware and Syracuse in 1968 In 1972, riding on the wave of Democratic support that accompanied President Hart’s reelection campaign, Biden found himself victorious in the Delaware Senate race. Elected at not even the minimum age of thirty years, he found himself just passing the age requirement mere months ahead of his inauguration, thus becoming the youngest member of the Senate. In his new role, Biden fostered a reputation as a staunch supporter of Phillip Hart’s Urban Renewal Initiative, defending it against an attempted repeal on the Senate floor during the Reagan years. After a failed run for President in 1984, Biden decided to refocus on his Senate career, going on to chair the Senate Foreign Relations and Judiciary Committees. During this time, he developed his reputation as a bipartisan moderate and a supporter of so-called “Atari Liberalism”. In 1992, he was one of the first Democrats to back his fellow senator Al Gore in his run for the Oval Office. Once Gore received the nomination, he would tap Biden as his running mate, bringing two decades of experience and connections onto the ticket.After 8 years of working alongside President Gore, Biden decided to once again pursue the Presidency for himself. After a hard-fought primary against progressive challenger Tom Harkin, Biden won the Democratic nomination and, later that year, the general election. Now, at last sitting at the head of the table, Biden stands at a crossroads between bipartisanship and real change.
