In certain countries, the player can take a decision for 200 Political Power to disable or enable elections in the country. Under each of these alignments are a bunch of parties that compete for votes, similar to a normal democracy.
Nationalist means the party aligns with themselves, i.e., they put their own country above all (Think Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy). Non-Aligned means the party aligns with no one, so they do not lean one way or the other. Salafist means the party aligns with reactionary Islamic countries and groups (Saudi Arabia, ISI, Al-Qaeda, etc.). Emerging means that the party aligns with the Eastern countries (Russia, China, etc.). Western Outlook means that the party aligns with the western countries (USA, UK, France, etc.). Alignments determine who the ideology is aligned towards, for example: Millennium Dawn: Modern Day Mod overhauls the ideology system, replacing ideologies with alignments and sub-ideologies with parties that compete for votes in an election.
