Talk about getting subconsciously educated on the difficult balance that our government leaders have to deal with. This game is fun! Specifically for those of us who like to try to find the link between two (or 4 or 10) choices to whatever your ultimate goal is. There are so many different tactics to use that replayability is high.

This requires a little reading and gameplay sometimes seems slow, but if you're into politics or international affairs you really get to explore how electorates can embrace autocrats or the challenge of balancing growth and the environment. It's a political psychology lab.

A silly bit of fun. Its very easy so its the kind of game where you have to make your own fun but if making a socialist utopia and then trying to turn it in to a capitalist military state without it all falling apart sounds fun you'll like this game.

It's fun, but the tutorial is very unfriendly, so I recommend watching a Youtube video instead (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiHMadFbAxw). After that, you get a grasp of how to do things, but every time it's too easy once you handle the alcohol abuse issue, so after playing for ~10 hours I got bored of it. So, while it's a good game, keep in mind that the play time isn't long.
