In a political contest where corruption is always around the corner, find out just how incorruptible you really are\. Do you have the integrity of Mousey or the ruthlessness of Croccy? Will you fight your campaign on issues and in the best interests of the people, or will you succumb to the easier path of bribery and intimidation? Will you win votes\.\.\.or will you buy them? Each turn you spend logistics to move your candidate and their staff around the political landscape to whip up popular support\. Your choice of staff affects your strategy\! A lawyer can settle your scandals, but a preacher can energize the population\.
