Democracy - PC

As President (or Prime-Minister) of a modern country operating as a simple democracy where you need to get over 50% of the vote each election in order to remain in power, the object of "Democracy" is to stay in power as long as possible - in this country there are no limits as to how many terms you may be elected president

Democracy is a detailed simulation game that is 'turn based' where each turn of the game represents 3 months of time. Elections are held every 4 years. Featuring a complex representation of the population of your country, a large number of different 'voter groups' are modelled, such as Motorists, Trade-Unionists, Unemployed people and the Wealthy.

The player influences the voters and the country by putting in place policies such as "Free Health Care", deciding how much money and effort to put into each policy. Different voting groups will have very different, often conflicting views as to which policies are desirable.

Democracy also features 'events' that impact your nation, such as labour disputes, political protests, diplomatic incidents, along with 'dilemmas' that force you as elected head of state to make a tough decision.

All these variables come back to haunt you, and to stay in power over several terms you will have to think far ahead. more
