Democracy

How would YOU run a country? Democracy starts with you as President (or Prime-Minister) of a modern country of your choosing. The country is a run as a simple democracy where you need to get over 50% of the vote each election in order to remain in power. Analyze data, review reports and make decisions that will affect your country and possibly your popularity. See how long you can stay in power!

• "A Must Have for Anyone Doing (or interested) in Politics. OK, It sounds sad. I'm a Politics student and downloaded the game for the sake of it. But I got hooked pretty quickly - the concept was easy to grasp, but the countries difficult to manage. I find the quarterly report to be very entertaining as well. It seems very realistic; some policies take longer to implement than others, and there will be dilemmas you face as a PM/President. There are some terms used in the game that a Politics/Geography student will recognise and, while smiling to oneself, can feel oddly satisfying. A definite recommend for those who think they can do a better job than whoever's in power right now." - rosslyn
• "It's easily the one game on this site with the MOST gameplay. I've been playing Democracy since it came out (around 2 years ago) and it's simply the most involved political simulator you can find. If anyone has played the game Capitalism by Trevor Chan, Democracy is to politics what Capitalism is to economics. They should use this game to teach Poli-sci. There is a whole lot of information presented all at once, and it's a bit hard to get into, but once you get hooked onto how realistic the gameplay is, you won't be able to stop playing. It presents politics simply, with cause and effect to each policy explained. Do try it - it's well worth the money." - foxspirit
