The current political makeup of the Nova Rian Senate:

Total Seats: 65

Party (Brief Description) - Seats Held

Nova Rian Nationalists (The Nationalists hold a majority in the Senate. Their policies focus on moving Nova Rio farther away from Brazil both politically and economically, and they focus on acheiving this with the help of the corporations that gained Nova Rio its independance.) - 37

National Republican Party (The NRP seeks to distance Nova Rio from the all-pervasive corporations of Nova Rio. They have suffered from a number of corruption scandals, revealed by major corporations, as well as a number of assasinations and other deaths. The party lost their majority in the last election.) - 22

Nationalistic Economists (The NEs have split from the Nationalists after disagreements over economic policies. The NEs are an extreme right-wing group that wishes to further free Nova Rian corporations from the light restrictions placed on them now, and to essentially turn Nova Rio into a capitalit's paradise. They lost most of their support after the 2006 enviornmental disaster.) - 6
