uh.... what? Nothing keeps happening. Nominations occur in the amount of time that I expect based on the required vote count. It requires around 100 just to get nominated.
For the Speaker of the House, are you going to implement a system where instead of all CT4 party members are up election, each party will elect 2-3 of their own CT4 players? This could say run in the Party Chat and last 1 week those with the most votes could then advance into the actual Speaker of the House elections. This would help cut down on those thinning votes from there being too many people to nominate.
I will be making it so you have to nominate yourself in order to be electable. For technical reasons this is much easier to do right after I run the elections.
You can click people's names in most places you see them in white and get to the look screen. It's missing in a couple places that will eventually be added.
Then you're likely just remembering incorrectly. Nothing in-game changes your stats, and even if I were to change an item it wouldn't automatically change the stats of those wearing the item (which is why I tend to not modify them).
Have you decreased some item power? My Speaking Ability and Charisma seem to have both been lowered by 1. (And possibly all my stats? But I am sure my SA and Char are 1 lower.)
As-implemented, achievements are only tracked per-character. It's not really a bad idea, but I don't think any current achievements are difficult enough to warrant it.
Title font? Are you using IE? It displays the fonts with bizarre amounts of AA, and it also does other non-standard display things that make the game look a bit odd. IE is non-standards-compliant, so there's not a whole lot I can do about this.
I think civil war is slightly different than congress declaring war on itself...
