I just picked this up on Steam for $25. Anyone else playing? ---

I’m hoping Steam will put in on sale in the next couple of months. ---

I’ve never heard of this but it sounds interesting. ---

The video reminds me of NationStates but with a graphical representation of how each decision effects everything. ---

I ended up getting the game (I turned in Saints Row). I keep getting assassinated by liberals. Those jerks. ---

The first thing I did was abolish private prisons and fund more police. Then I boosted education spending. Right now crime is up like 800% and my approval rating is down to about 27%. ---

Looks cute, but the price point ain’t right. I’ll wait for a sale. ---

I played a demo of a previous Democracy. I enjoyed it, but like others, I’ll wait for the price to drop a bit. ---

I completely eliminated crime, increased home ownership to record numbers, heralded a tech boom, raised the country’s credit rating, and enjoyed what seemed to be daily fellating by the poor and middle class of the nation while still managing to spend an astronomical amount on intelligence agencies and the military - only to be assassinated by a group of “hyper-capitalists” shortly before the end of my first term. Figures.
