Campaign
The defining issue at the election was the Federation's policy on incorporating defunct states and territories in Deluvia.
• Incumbent Chancellor CJThekingman12345 supported more passive policies in relation to the IF's expansion and advocated developing lands already held by the Federation and mini-maxing production. He was widely criticized for making several u-turns during the election period on whether or not the IF should incorporate Myra and South Augusta into the Federation, and he was criticized by his opponents for blocking the Senate from incorporating these territories into the Imperial Federation, acting erratically during the election period and encouraging states to build infrastructure in the IF despite only visiting the IF twice during his tenure as Chancellor and developing no infrastructure himself.
• JAW689 advocated expanding the IF into defunct territories, allowing the senate to operate without the interference of the Chancellor and actively supporting states in the building of infrastructure.
• Tr1ckyD1ckNixon supported a middle-ground approach, trying to incorporate defunct states peacefully as much as possible unless negotiations rendered no result, and then there was a plausible case for expanding.
