Political game

From Free net encyclopedia

A political game is a game in which players roleplay and pretend to represent a government running a country.

Some games operate much like the traditional legislative government, relying on building consensuses to get things done. This includes:

  • Nomic -- a game played by changing its own rules
  • Democracy -- A game that simulates the running of a dozen different real world countries. Players need to build consensus across a range of different voter groups in order to be re-elected at the end of each term. The game is based upon a complex neural network that models individual voters who may belong to a number of different population groups simultaneously.
  • The Politics Game -- a game simulating a parliamentary democracy, in which any user active enough in discussion is allowed to form a party and discuss issues of the day in Parliament which effect the day to day running of the game/forum. Notable for being run entirely on the phpBB forum system rather than an actual game system.
  • Senate Seeker -- a game simulating the United States government in which members of the prominent American political parties (and third parties) compete for the Senate and House of Representatives. The game includes active forums, discussion, Bill proposals and a working Supreme Court. The game is entirely text based and free. Also, one thing that makes this game different from the others is that it does not use forums for any official aspect of the game. The running for office and proposing of bills is all done in a turn-based PHP environment.
  • Extremapol -- a game simulating the Spanish parliamentary democracy, in which you can play as a major party member (PSOE, PP, IU) asturian, castillan, catalonian, galician and basque nationalists and a lot of other "third parties" like the neofascists "Frente Español" or the liberal "Unión Liberal Republicana" . The game includes not only the Congress of the Deputies (Low Chamber of the Spanish democracy) but also the 17 autonomic parliaments. The game is entirely text based and free.
