There's no reason to think like that. There are many ways to climb up the ladders of government in TNP. The beauty of it is that you can still hold an influential position without ever being elected. It is all about what you want to do and what you enjoy doing in TNP. If you like role playing, then go ahead and do that. Seek help from the Roleplay moderators. If you are interested in a particular branch of Gov't or Ministry, get in touch with the people currently in charge of it. They'll be happy to see enthusiasm and interest in their area, and they'll most likely help you. In the end, you can't reach anything without working for it. So find your area of interest in TNP, participate in it, don't be afraid to ask for help, and enjoy your time here. That's what's gonna lead you to being elected here.
