Short description
People. Power. Politics. Play as an MP and fight tooth and nail to stay in politics. Will you survive long enough in UK politics to reach the Cabinet... or even become PM? Will the press find out what you did last summer? There's only one way to find out!
About this game
People. Power. Politics. Governance is a groundbreaking new political and social simulator that aims to fuse a real-time approach not seen in political sim with real world data, providing the most realistic simulation of modern politics. Governance aims to be a fully featured nation-state simulator that simulates everything from government to industry, media organisations to think tanks, and political parties to factions vying for power. Focusing on UK politics, you can play as a Member of Parliament, the leader of a political party or the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Featuring over 1000 dynamic events, 150 unique policies, a dynamic economic system and tightly-knit integration of real-world data, Governance marries realism with fun political wargaming. Keep your friends close... The key to Governance is making friends in the hope that they further the policy goals that you have. You have to get on to get far… or build up enough dirt on the way to bully your way into the halls of power! Network with peers, join think tanks, go to lunch with lobbyists, and ultimately gain enough momentum to make the change you want to see in the world. Rather than the traditional left-right axis, Governance employs our multivariate Entity Beliefs System. Combining internal ranking on up to 12 different co-existent axes, linguistic analysis and historical background, Entity Beliefs are truer in nature to the complex nature of ideological and non-ideological beliefs. Original belief systems and schools of thought surrounding a policy platform can develop and evolve as your game continues. A history worth telling... With political distrust at an all time high, it is up to you to fix it. The actions you take today will completely change events in 10 years. A scandal you think you have buried could come back if you aren't wise to where it's coming from. The 'natural party of government' can collapse under its own weight. You can use the in-game Wiki system and Address Book to find the movers and shakers, what information is both widely known about them... and what information you have learned that others haven't! Have it your way. Unhappy with modern British politics?…
