(5 and 6 are my ideas but not fully explained)

Maps would come into play

For example, the "Sassy Senators" (would have a cooler name like House of Congress) would actually be provided with data about the country and vote on decisions. It is a map game because (for example) they can vote on laws of each new state added to the union if the US is expanding west in the 1800s for example. Sometimes even voting to go to war and making decisions to help the troops on the front lines (ex: Increasing corporate taxes to help soldiers on the frontline). It's simple since most players can just put "yes or no" rather than wasting time making a long-ass turn

For the presidents (I would put POTUS or Head of State), it would come into play as each candidate would compete for each state's vote on the map by going into debates and other things. My concept of it was intended for the map to be every month or so (1 month = term), and the person elected would be written the results of their presidency for 4 years before making way for another election as a sequel
