Democracy is a government simulation game. The player plays as if they are the president or prime minister of a democratic government. The player must introduce and alter policies in seven areas - tax, economy, welfare, foreign policy, transport, law and order and public services. Each policy has an effect on the happiness of various voter groups, as well as affecting factors such as crime and air quality. The player has to deal with "situations", which are typically problems such as petrol protests or homelessness, and also has to make decisions on dilemmas that arise each turn.

The first glance at Democracy 3 can cause an immediate "it's too complicated" reaction, but the well-designed interface enables a fairly quick understanding of how to manage the policies required to create your own personal political utopia. For those that are into this kind of thing, Democracy 3 is a great way to test pet political theories in a (mostly) consequence-free way. * The product in this article was sent to us by the developer/company. I've been fascinated with video games and computers for as long as I can remember.

This is an excellent combination of concept and design, but needed more, more, more. The core game itself utilises a fine engine with which to play with, but the actual core of the experience feels somewhat lacking in substance. A real shame that detracts from an outstanding piece of game design. Best Gaming Moment: Crafting a well oiled, fair, and equal society that legalises LSD and hanging. Democracy 3 allows a facile idiot like myself to play out utopian fantasies, all whilst never straying too far from the aforementioned confectionary.

Democracy 3 demands a particular mindset to appreciate, where one’s eye is not constantly fixed on winning elections, but it’s a grand political adventure for those willing to experience a story told by numbers and polls. There’s also a surprising, understated beauty about how everything is seamlessly tied together, with every decision echoing throughout the elegant spiderweb. Its politics without the arguing and mudslinging, without spin doctors or demands for birth certificates, where every voter is well-informed and acts in their best interest – so maybe it’s not so much a simulation of real politics as it is a laboratory filled with political and economic models waiting to be messed around with.

At its core, Democracy 3 is a mass of pretty spreadsheets that visualise an intimidating amount of data systems that are all linked to one another. Players will adjust the income tax rate, and then see how it affects his/ her reputation with various interest groups, as well as its impact on the economy.
