Australian Capital Territory

ACT starts from Canberra and works outward: current power, chamber balance, election clocks and the local civic rehearsal layer that can plug back into the national P4A preframe.

Tailoring notes

How this clone should think.

  • The ACT is the simplest chamber model: one house, five multi-member electorates.
  • The Labor-Greens pattern makes it useful for testing coalition, confidence and supply language.
  • Canberra is also symbolically important for the 2031 referendum simulator.
