Democracy – I Want You To Run This Country! Good Game On Policies Dependencies – Jack Young –
It’s an EXCELLENT 1-dimensional game on various domestic policies and their dependencies when running a country.

DOMESTIC POLICIES
For example, it’s not possible to eliminate Organised Crimes category, without tackling Violent Crimes category, which grows from Crime category.

However to resolve the Crime category, the player has to improve budgeting for various Policing category and Unemployment category. Thus, the focus on the dependencies of internal policies is fairly educational and well thought-out.

FOREIGN AND MILIARY ADVENTURES
If you are looking forth on adventures on Military and Foreign categories, you would be disappointed. They are stand-alone categories, mostly affecting internal stability. There are no interactions with neighboring countries on subsequently the impacts of the policies.

OTHERS
At this point, I must admit I did not try out various extreme scenarios by taking extreme Religious, Conservative or Liberal positions in terms game-play to test out its full potentials.

That brings me to what I feel as a somehow a potential short-coming of this game. Somehow, it felt like a 1-off game play, that doesn’t attracts the player back to test out different cases and observe different outcome/reward. However, the feeling stated could be tied to only my individual experience.

CONCLUSION
Finally, I give this nice game a 3 stars for the educational and well thought-out policies. Personally had it attract me to go back and play, I would have given it a 4 stars.

(I understand this nice game is designed by only a single developer, which is very encouraging).

Tri Synergy: Democracy is an intelligent and sophisticated game that entertains people, but also teaches them a thing or two about politics as well. You may think that politics is all sticking to your principles no matter what, but in Democracy you’ll quickly see just how easy it is to “compromise” those principles to keep your seat in government.

Plenty of never-before-seen events and dilemmas, some of which may sound familiar to recent world events?
Choose from many different countries
Manage each turn of government development like policy changes, population agenda, reelection, budget, overall satisfaction of the constituents
Over 80 different policy changes, each with an emphasis slider you can create a limitless number of political combinations to push whatever agenda you wish

System Requirements:

Windows 98, 2000, ME, XP, Vista
Pentium III 600 MHz min
128 MB RAM
