Playing with democracy

Think you can run the country? I did.

I forked out just over £15 to play this game – Democracy – described as a "complex political strategy game", where you get the chance to fashion the country in your own political image. (Me? I had low taxes, high public spending, and a gigantic public debt – I'm an irresponsible populist as it turns out).

I lost my entire Bank Holiday to playing it. If you’re power hungry too, maybe you should just download the free demo.

this is a somewhat similar idea but is an online game (&free)

You have to make choices everyday that cumulatively effect the sort of country you have.

Yep, I've played that game as well. My nation became a Scandanavian-style liberal state if I remember correctly. So I can also recommended this game. Unless you have a job or a life to get on with instead...

If Bush played this game, perhaps he would have learned a thing or about running, a country and we might have avoided all the mess he has created in Iraq!
