Governments and politics have become more controversial than ever. That’s why Democracy 3 is the chance we never knew we were waiting for; it gives you a chance to show that you have what it takes to lead the country.

In Democracy, you play the role of an elected official who leads his or her country to success or ruin. As you pander for votes, flip-flop on policy, and try to balance the needs and desires of constituents, every event and policy has an effect on the intricate web that you lay out.

as leader you utilize political capital to enact laws and ordinances or to repeal them. Skillful use of your cabinet of advisers will allow your team to accomplish more in less time.

The only way to lose in Democracy is to lose an election... or be assassinated.

Here, the game shows the projected effects on different populations and issues the player faces if taxes were to be increased.

Below, the interaction of different policies and the strength of those interactions is shown on the player main screen interface.

And finally, a view of how the different groups of a given nation feel about you as the leader at any particular point.

Now is as good a time as any to brush up on your political prowess, or to offer this game as a gift to one of your politically challenged (I.e. ignorant) friends, so get out there and prove you have what it takes to lead.
