The Best political game out there, Most political offices available (From local school board member all the way up to President) and I have over 100+ hours now, I had even more on one of my friends accounts but since then I've gotten my own, I seriously can't think of a better political game out there, Another thing is that it still receives updates (big updates) and the developer is great when it comes to listening to feedback.

fun, cant wait for more options to organize how labor and production, even political policies can be really changed. it limits you to only being social welfare capitalism to a free market mania. either way both arent truly sustainable. ( though welfare capitalism is better than whatever shit phase of finance capitalism turned deregulation, suppression of workers right, and rise of fascism to protect a decaying capitalism in america we see )

As a former city council member and congressional candidate, this one does scratch that particular itch. The loop of tweaking your campaign and watching the results turn by turn is just deceptively simple. I can see that a ton of work went into getting all these systems and statistics true to life, and seeing the charts update based on my decisions is just gratifying every time. From setting up volunteer offices to running attack ads and being confused when your rally has zero effect on public opinion, it's just all tasty game play. And this is early access, so I can see all the untapped potential. Here's what I hope for the most: Personalities. Politics is people, and seeing the traits like 'humble' or 'shy' or 'genius' attached to a person is a good start. But I really hope that these modifiers at some point affect scenarios that make you feel like you're really dealing with, say, a panel of 12 council members. In my own experience, one time we passed a resolution to forbid people of certain degrees of consanguinity (blood relatives - cousins, in this case) from serving on the council together. This was to avoid dynastic family takeovers common in small towns. Of course that really really really did not sit well with one member who had been serving on the council with his cousin. And he exploded during a meeting. It's little things like that which could bring this from early access goodness to full release greatness. I think everyone should play this though. Get it now and support this fun game!

I have close to 9000 hours in this game over the course of six years across changing laptops and computers. To say I enjoy this game would be an insulting understatement.

This is potentially going to be known as the best political simulator ever! While it is still a new game, there is infinite possibilities. I love this game and probably play it well more than I care to admit. I have been a MAGA republican, a Bernie-crat, a moderate democrat and a moderate republican from different states and loved every moment of it. I hope more updates come because I would love nothing more than to see this game in its full potential! If I had to include 2 things on my wish list it would be: - Allow me to become VP or a cabinet member, and leverage that for an endorsement for executive branches - Allow the states to vote on legislations regarding elections in their constitution (i.e. term limits, funding, etc.) Oh and my wife was elected President (2) terms even after I could not win the nomination myself, which was pretty funny.
