Anyway, to continue with my old series, the U.S. presidential election in 2132. These two are a bit different since Cislunaria and Translunaria are both states rather than commonwealths, and like the terrestrial states, have no commonwealth government. Both states are clusters of O'Neill cylinders located at Earth's L2 point (Cislunaria) and L3 point (Translunaria). However, due to the growing size of both states, there's been talk of converting both states to commonwealths with each habitat and cylinder becoming its own state. The population of both states used to be largely retirees and a few upper class mansions, but in the past 10-15 years, the demographics have begun to skew younger as more and more upper middle class Americans move permantely to the orbitals. The Senior Citizens Party is unique to both (though it has some presence elsewhere through electoral fusion), and its decision to run a Presidential candidate in 2132 was controversial. Republicans have traditionally had large support in both states, though the Democrats have been making small inroads.
