Latest Steam announcements
- Government Simulator 2 soon available on Steam! - 11 September 2022
Good news: Government Simulator 2 will soon be available on Steam! It comes with a modernized simulation engine, support for simulation emergencies and situations, economic relations, social media, and a lot more. We will also merge some of the improvements back into Government Simulator 1, where it makes sense. Here is a short trailer giving a quick overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zxDT7EmaCA Emergencies like pandemics, power shortages, energy criss, inflation and similar have become important recently, and the game will simulate these as well. Additionally, economic relations to other countries (like trade agreements and tariffs) have been become more and more popular recently, and even social media now has more influence on politics, so these are modeled now as well: You can wishlist it on steam already now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1930680/Government_Simulator_2/…
- Government Simulator 1.5 - Various improvments - 4 July 2022
Government Simulator update 1.5 is now available. This update is the first after update after a long time adding some minor improvements and changes everywhere: Adjusted economic growth for larger values of inflation later in the game, to make it more realistic. Unemployment rate is now also simulated a bit more in depth in scenarios like these. Fixed scrollbar theme when running on some systems on Windows 11 Adjusted military strength for a couple of countries slighly to match more real world data. Note: This only affects you when you start a new game, existing running games are not affected by this. Hope you'll like this update. More updates likely to come in the near future again. Feedback is welcome as always!
- Government Simulator 1.4 - Tariffs - 17 September 2018
Government Simulator update 1.4 is now available. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F30946513%2F1b514d16b7f4f8cc5b7cba69e58b512751f01328.jpg This update adds Import Tariffs and a few bug fixes and improvements. Details: Import Tariffs You can now impose import tariffs using the "Laws" tab. You can specify a total average rate for these, and the engine will uses this value for calculating the simulation. The effect tariffs will have depends on how the internals of the country you are running look like. Limitations: There are no individual types of goods or countries of origin on which you can impose tariffs, it is just an average factor, since the simulation isn't fine grained enough for this. Economic growth rating values have been adjusted a bit, causing the labels on the economic growth statistics screen to show better values (like 'Excellent' for a value…
- Government Simulator 1.3 update - 9 July 2018
Government Simulator update 1.3 is now available. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F30946513%2Fea02fd371cc60e74e06079e7ffd95589c80cad77.jpg This update adds cheats (possibility to circumvent the implementation effort points mechanism), a new law, gameplay tweaks, and improvements here and there. Details: New law: Plastic bag ban In order to reflect current developments, the game now has a new law to select: 'Plastic bag ban'. Also, when you start a new game with France, the plastic bag ban law will be active there to reflect France's bag ban starting in 2016. Cheats There are now cheat codes in the game. If you play though the USA scenario and finish it successfully, cheat codes in the game will be unlocked. The cheat code 'NOMORELIMITS' entered in the game will give you 100 implementation effort points. Note that if you already played through the USA scen…
- Government Simulator 1.2 update - 6 April 2018
Government Simulator update 1.2 is now available. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F30946513%2Fea02fd371cc60e74e06079e7ffd95589c80cad77.jpg This update adds balancing tweaks, fixed problems, improvements here and there, and a new scenario. Details: Gameplay balancing The amount of efford points needed for changing critically underfunded departments has been reduced quite a lot. For example, previously, you needed a lot of points for increasing the budget of 'Bike Ways' in the transport category in the US scenario, or 'Police' in the Russia scenario. This is no longer the case now. New scenario: UK after Brexit This new scenario simulates the UK after a possible brexit scenario. Note that this scenario might contain errors and unrealistic or made up values. You can play this scenario by selecting the "Downloadable scenarios created by users" in the "new gam…

- Government Simulator 1.1 Update - 2 February 2018
Government Simulator update 1.1 is now available. This update adds a new country to the simulation, a new supported language, makes some minor changes to the simulation, and improves other things here and there. Details: New country: United Kingdom You can now also try to take command and change the fate of Great Britain in Government Simulator. The UK has some unique challenges, all as always based on real world economic data. This was the country most people wanted to have added into the game, so this was done now. Tip for playing: Note that the UK has a relatively high GDP-to-Dept ratio, so it is a good idea to reduce this in the beginning by either increasing certain taxes or to reduce spending (or by other methods like introducing a high quantitative easing rate), otherwise it will be very difficult to handle this country in the beginning of the game. New supported language: Italia…

- Government Simulator 1.0.2 Update - 8 December 2017
Government Simulator update 1.0.2 is now available. This update adds some changes to the economic model simulation, and improves the gameplay. Note that for existing running games, not all changes will have an effect, but it also might mean that the current state of your existing game might change a bit (budgets might become too low and similar). Long Time Economic Growth Change Previously, if you successfully played many years with the same country, everything would become very easy, because the economy usually would grow to an unlimited size, but the needed expenses didn't adjust accordingly. This is no longer the case, and the simulation now includes some internal inflation for this, so the game becomes a bit more challenging in later stages of the game. Public Relations Changes The approval boost rates for public relation actions have been adjusted a bit: It is no longer easily poss…

- Government Simulator 1.0.1 update - 5 December 2017
Government Simulator update 1.0.1 is now available. One day after the release, this is the first update to Government Simulator, including some minor improvements suggested by users on the Steam forum. Thanks to all for the constructive feedback, and even as some people apparently expected a bit different game, most people posted really helpful, constructive criticism so far. With a nice community like this, the game can be improved and extended with following updates. There is an update with some gameplay improvements planned already, but this first quick update includes only minor improvements: Maternity leave duration has been changed for the USA to 0 from previously 3 months, reflecting reality better. The currency "Swiss franc" is now displayed in the game as "CHF" instead of "Fr." previously. The list of "past military conflicts" now clarifies that this is a list of military confl…
