Try to make the society you want, and you will fail. Try to make a society that works, and you will succeed.
If you're not into politics, this is NOT the game for you.
Every game you start with a solid debt and a boatload of problems that you have to get rid off. Without pissing off too many voters. It's a lot harder than it sounds.
There's no mercy in this game. If you piss off the voters, they'll punish you at once.
A lot of what you can do has inertia effects, and may take up to two years to come to full effect. Most tax-fiddling will be instantaneous though.
Your cabinet gains (or loses) political power, which is what you use to pass laws.
If the public are dissatisfied you lose some, and if they're happy you gain some.
And without it, it's very limited what you can change or do.
There's 10 different countries to play, and they all have different voters and problems.
If you're into modding and know a little programming, you can make your own countries, laws, events; and even choose your own voter behavior.
You win the game if you manage to stay in office the full number of periods you've chosen to play (1-10), and you lose by not getting re-elected or by reaching the maximum allowed debt (differs according to country).
It's not worth the full 20… Expand
