Democracy 3

## About This Game
Have you ever wanted to be president? or prime-minister? Convinced you could
do a better job of running the country? Let's face it, you could hardly do a
worse job than our current political leaders.

Crime, Unemployment, National Debt, Terrorism, Climate Change...Have you got
the answers to the problems that face western industrialized nations? Here is
your chance to find out...
## An entire virtual country
Democracy 3 simulates the motivations, loyalties and desires of everyone in
the country. A custom-designed neural network is used to model individual
voters, each which varying memberships of voting groups, political parties and
pressure groups. Each voters income is modeled, along with their levels of
complacency and cynicism. This is the most sophisticated political strategy
game ever created.

## Unique user interface
Despite being vastly detailed under-the-hood, Democracy 3 has a unique user
interface that makes visualizing the connections between laws, policies,
voters and situations easy. A simple iconic-based view of your countries
issues allows you to 'drill-down' through all the relationships between
policies and voters to quickly analyze the impacts of your decisions. Your
trade policy may affect GDP, which will affect unemployment, which will effect
poverty, and thus crime, leading to a change in tourism, which affects GDP...
## Complex simulated voters
Each individual voter is a mixture of a subset of the 21 different voter
groups represented within the game. They might be a young, wealthy, liberal
socialist commuter, or a retired conservative religious capitalist, for
example. Not only this, but the extent to which they identify each of those
groups is both variable, and can be affected by your policies in the long
term. Convert your country to religion, or atheism, to capitalism, or
socialism by careful and nuanced adjustment of your policies and laws over
time. A 'focus group' feature lets you look at individual voters and see
exactly how they came to a decision to vote for you (or not!).

## Mod Support
Democracy 3 is very configurable and trivial to mod. It also has steam
workshop support, for easy installation and browsing of modded content. Want
to mod the game yourself? no problem, you need zero coding experience, just a
spreadsheet program or a text editor, and we have a full comprehensive modding
guide available here:

Modders can easily edit the policies, add new ones, change the way objects
affect others, create entirely new countries, situations and even re-write the
entire economic and political model. Everything is editable and accessible.
## Coded by a single developer
Democracy 3 is the work of a single developer, Cliff Harris from the UK, an
indie games veteran who has been making games since 1997 and programming since
he was 11 years old. Cliff gets some 'help' from his cats, but frankly not
much...
