About
The Masthead
The Sim Standard is the newspaper of record for simdemocracy. We report the Senate, the courts, the economy and the campaigns, and we show our working: every story cites the bill, the case or the tabulation it came from.

How we work
- Corrections
- We correct in place. Where a change is worth flagging to readers it is posted on the corrections page.
- Primary sources
- Where a story turns on a bill, a case or a tabulation, we link the document itself rather than asking you to take our word for it.
- Opinion
- Columns in the Opinion section are the author's argument, not the paper's position.
- Embargoes
- Pieces marked Private are internal or embargoed and are visible only to signed-in staff.
Sections
- Politics
- Party manoeuvring, cabinet business and the daily fight.
- Courts
- Filings, rulings and the long shadow of precedent.
- The Senate
- Floor votes, committee work and the arithmetic of a majority.
- Economy
- Budgets, the treasury and the numbers behind the politics.
- Elections
- Campaigns, candidates and results as they land.
- Opinion
- Argument and dissent from our columnists and guests.
