Attention Xitizens,
The time has come once more for you to elect your State Ministers! This time around, SM elections have come up quicker than usual. The date has been moved from the 1st every 3 months to the 15th every 3 months. This is to keep SM elections from occurring on the same date as Prime Ximbo elections, as I believe they now will also be occurring every 3 months.
If representing your state at the highest level, hosting fashion contests, and leading others in your state seems like a job you’re fit for, post your manifesto in your local town hall! Right now behind the scenes we’re trying to figure out if anybody can run for SM or if you have to be a paying Senator to run.

What is a State Minister?
A State Minister means you become the figurehead of your state. It’s an honorary title with some responsibilities alongside, but is also a very fun and engaging role.
How do I run for State Minister?
Go to your profile and under the government section you need to tick the box and write a manifesto. Remember that a manifesto is key to getting people to vote for you, so make it a good one! The manifesto is usually up 2 weeks before elections. You can change your manifesto as many times as you like, up until 6 hours before the election day. During this 6 hour period, no one can enter elections or cancel their entry, so make sure you are fully prepared before this happens!
Do I qualify to run as a State Minister?
To run for State Minister you need to be a paying senator, this means no artifacts. You will need to keep up your senatorship for the entire duration of your term, which is 3 months. If your senatorship gets cancelled, you will have 7 days to renew it until your title is removed. **
**This may change, if this isn’t the case this time around, it’ll need to be coded into the website
What is expected of me as a State Minister?
Currently what is expected of a State Minister is for them to keep their State engaged in their town hall, and by extension, the site. Your citizens will often ask you questions before taking them higher up the Pink House, so you are essentially the first place people go to for help. A lot of State Ministers like to create contests to keep their state engaged. The current expectation surrounding this is hosting 1 or 2 a month, any more can get overwhelming. Keep in mind that PXFC is also happening each month, and other state ministers will be hosting contests as well, so try to coordinate when you post yours. Important!: State Ministers pay their own diamonds for prizes, meaning you may end up spending real life money on diamond top ups. State ministers are also expected to be highly active on the site, and are expected to work well within the PH team. You will be working alongside other State Ministers, the Prime Bimbo, Fashion Police, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Justice and more.
What tools do I gain as a State Minister?
1) You will gain the ability to jail people from your state for 1 day or 3 days. 2) You can make pop up posts in your town halls. 3) You will receive reports for player profiles only. 4) You will get the gifting tool - meaning you can gift any currency or prize on the site at the expense of your own diamonds.
What do I get out of being a State Minister?
Being an SM means you become somewhat of a club manager. This position is designed for players who want to give back to the community and help to keep the site running smoothly. You will have access to some moderation tools to help FP/PB keep the site safe and organised and are given the opportunity to help improve the site. This position is specifically for those who are enthusiastic in helping others and making the site a fun place to be a part of, whilst having fun themselves, who are chatty and who are imaginative. Finally, as an SM you are given the opportunity to climb the ranks even higher and become Prime Bimbo.
