If China had an electoral system similar to that of the United States (and if they had an electoral system at all), could you lead the Navy Blue Party to victory over the Bright Red Party?
You only have thirty seconds!
Not including Taiwan
250 electoral votes are needed to secure a majority and win!
Just updated the quiz for the 2020 census data. Guangdong somehow keeps growing relative to the rest of China. Since someone was curious as to how I got the electoral vote totals, I coded a program in C++ that uses the Huntington-Hill method (the same method that the US government uses) to calculate how many representatives each subdivision would receive, then I added two (representing senators) to arrive at the final figure. The short time provided is part of the challenge- it's both a Chinese geography and speed-typing test.
Hubei just has the major cities Beijing and Tianjin carved out, and Gansu's weird shape is because it follows the fertile corridor between the Gobi Desert and the Qianling mountains. If you look at historical maps of Han and Tang dynasty control, you can see this fertile corridor clearly.
Just a suggestion: The representatives at the National People's Congress are also allocated according to the population of each province, see https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%AC%AC%E5%8D%81%E5%9B%9B%E5%B1%8A%E5%85%A8%E5%9B%BD%E4%BA%BA%E6%B0%91%E4%BB%A3%E8%A1%A8%E5%A4%A7%E4%BC%9A%E4%BB%A3%E8%A1%A8%E5%90%8D%E5%8D%95 .
First of all, TAIWAN IS PART OF CHINA!!!
And I got 267. I got Xinjiang, Tibet, Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hongkong, Macau, Hainan, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Shandong, Hebei, Tianjin, Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang.

Maybe make another quiz with this data?
