Stop Elections (Hint)
     Eliminate   every  opponent  that  runs  against  you  until  the
election,  then  the  game will notify you after the election that the
people  are upset that you killed him, and a new opponent will run. It
will still think its election time, after a new twelve months, but you
will  never have to run again! For the best effect, when its coming up
to  the  last  month of election, issue an order to have your opponent
made  "heretic".  If youre too fast make the next one the same, and so
forth.
