Fun game, difficult enough to make you think a few moves ahead. Factions seem pretty consistent except for a few circumstances that don't make sense (Opposition likes it when you make hunting with sawed off shotguns legal, though they almost always push for animal conservation type things). Also, the Police are pretty finicky, and don't seem to like very much at all (they often dislike things that don't seem to impact or concern them at all). Overall, a pretty fun dictator simulation game.

The game is strategic and slightly challenging, while still being interesting. It has basic mechanics and a couple extras without being too overwhelming. 😃*There are not very many ads!* 😃 There are only ads after you have finished the whole round, and they tend to be short. The tiny ad bar at the bottom is not disruptive, and it only costs .99 to remove ads. However, if you aren’t bothered by an ad here and there, then it won’t be very much of a problem. It does have multiple glitches, which I’d like to point out- 1, The Tutorial guy. Whenever you go to answer a question, he pops up, saying “now resolve the problem with the appropriate faction…” even after the tutorial is over. It can get annoying after a while. 2. Making money. In the game, the money generator is hilariously slow at earning money, to the point where it doesn’t really do much at all. Money is a scare resource in the game, so that doesn’t really help. 3. When you make decisions, the police tend to be very finicky, even about things that do not affect them at all. (Example: I decide to allow clapping at concerts to remain legal. The police lose 3 points. Why?) But despite these little things, I do enjoy this game. Recommend! ***Note: there is a second version of the game now. Go check that out. They probably fixed the bugs I mentioned and added and more. Thanks for reading!***

I really like this game, it has good graphics and good sound production, and the gameplay is engaging enough to really make you think strategically. However I can never get far enough in the game, it’s too easy to lose when you constantly need money. Either the game needs to start you off with more money, the money upgrade should be cheaper, or consequences shouldn’t be as expensive. Also there’s a glitch that keeps coming up every time I’m about to make a decision, the tutorial guy keeps telling me what to do, so that needs to be fixed.
