Terms of use
Last updated: November 13, 2026
By creating a citizen account you agree to these terms. They are short on purpose.
It is a game
Parallel States is a simulation game. The two Americas, their laws, budgets and results are invented, and the numbers are game estimates informed by public data and research. Nothing here is political, legal or financial advice. Parallel States is not affiliated with the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, or any candidate or campaign.
Your account
- One account per person. You choose your nation once and cannot switch.
- Pick a citizen name that does not impersonate a real person and is not offensive.
- Keep your password safe. There is no email recovery.
- You must be 13 or older.
Play fair, be decent
- No harassment, threats, hate speech, sexual content, spam or doxxing (sharing someone's private details).
- No multiple accounts, bots, scripts or vote manipulation.
- No attempts to break, overload or get around the site's security.
The organisers may remove posts, end candidacies and suspend or delete accounts that break these rules.
Your posts
You keep ownership of what you write. You let us show it inside the game for as long as it stays up, and you can ask us to remove your account and posts (see the privacy policy).
No guarantees
The game is provided as it is. It may change, pause, reset or end, and we are not responsible for any loss caused by using it.
