Run Your Own Country!

You could do a better job of running the country than the current administration, couldn't you? Well, let's find out, shall we?
I just happened upon Democracy 2, a political simulation game. In it, you take the position of a newly elected president of a democratic country, and attempt to run it. This includes balancing the budget, taking care of situations such as "Technology Backwater" and "Vigilante Mobs," and pleasing the many classes of voters to get you reelected in four years. I have Democracy 1 and loved it, and am thrilled to be the new owner of Democracy 2. It costs $25 USD, not a bad price for a nice game. It is an excellent simulation.
But that's about all it is. No fancy graphics or extensive gameplay. It's a thought game. For those people (like myself) that like that sort of thing, this game's for you. The great thing about it is it really makes you give much more credit to the people running our country, and all democratic countries, because it is a difficult, daunting task. It's much harder than it looks.
You can get more info on the game, buy it, or get a short free trial (you can only play half a presidential term--not much time) at the game's site here.
(There are ways to get the game for free ;) ...........but I'm not going to tell you how...that would ruin all the fun!)
