It sounds like Stefan is really close to releasing 2.0, so that's what I
would recommend targeting.

That said, there's several pieces that can be implemented at any time, such
as the map and stock market XML files, the tile manifests, etc.

Parlimentary rounds will just be another specialized sub-class of Round.
There's already examples to help guide your way.
