Growth of the Nation

Grant's first term saw an explosion of province formation, as groups carved out their sections of land. Within five years, the country would expand to 29 provinces.

  • 1987: 5
  • 1988: 5
  • 1989: 5
  • 1990: 4
  • 1991: 5

Grant's Second Term, and Second Election

Part of Grant's re-election platform was to get the country to at least 45 provinces. By year four, he succeeded in that.

  • 1992: 4
  • 1993: 4
  • 1994: 4
  • 1995: 4
  • 1996: 3
  • 1997: 2

The second campaign was much more feisty and tightly contested, as a Grant win would guarantee a new president the next time. Grant would eventually get his third term, though only by two provinces, 19-17 over Joe Brady of the Workers Party.
