Game where doxxing is fair game, where admins ban people indiscriminately, where dumb discord roles are revered as highest titles of honor and where admins are allowed to directly participate in the game (which relates to the second point). See no problem with these? Then you might even love the game for what it is. For others more self-respective, I recommend to stay away from this time sink, there are way better political sims out there that take less time, are more balanced, feature more content and been getting far more frequent updates than this does. Not to mention the game design is questionable at best, the amount of ways in which the code has been and still is being exploited by the players is ridiculous, the genius solution to this so far has been instead of fixing this apparent lack of smart game design, to simply ban anyone who is smart enough to exploit it because of course it's simpler to do than to actually code a game in a way where exploits are not as common AKA fixing the problem. Another two final points would be lack of automated dynamic changes and lack of formalized rules, the first relating to not so great game design, where resets every couple of months are necessary otherwise the parties and players become so "entrenched" any actual changes to the political climate take months to successfully accomplish, the second relating to admins having their finger on the ban button far more often than would be desired because of players not knowing what even is and what isn't allowed.

mods ban you if you have different agenda. when you ask for evidence they say you alt but never give you prove in which they lying just a way to ban people. the game make fun of religions. if you go against their agenda they ban you and if you tried to create another account after you got ban they keep banning you for no reason. this game doesn't deserve to be in stream
I created the account did not play at all the next day i was banned no joke
Moderators are not impartial and the game is a buggy mess.
So i was enjoying the game at first until i woke up to find myself banned this morning. I do not recommend if you have one account seems they'll ban for no reason my brother had the same issue. Will not play again
♥♥♥♥♥♥ browser game imported on steam
It's pretty low effort and the admins are not impartial. I now have a story about the admins being non Impartial. There was a bug which nobody got told about I found this bug because the Other side used this bug the admin's party nothing happened so I thought oh a new feature used it and got banned for exploiting. oh, yea and he also thinks he is god so a bit of a loony.
I recommend this game but there are some major things missing from it. Missing from international diplomacy: -Sanctions -Illegal annexations -Proxy-wars (non-declared wars) -Any international punishment system VIA the UN at all (that has been demonstrated) -International court/UN positions that manage world politics -smaller countries (Belgium, Netherlands, Ireland, Korea(s)) that don't necessarily play a roll in world politics as heavily as the current nations -secession (though that may be hard to do) -China *ADDED* -Embargoes -Air forces (once again may be hard to do) -Literally any ability to transfer land whatsoever (the map is completely static) -Realistic economic growth (Ex: Japan was growing at 15.06% at one point *this week*, even though there is no realistic way to make any economy grow that fast and sustain it without a massive government deficit.) Missing from National/Domestic diplomacy (specifically the USA as that is where I'm at): -Executive orders (or if they do exist no one uses them because they are either difficult or weak and expensive) -Resolutions to censor other reps or senators -Supreme Court -State legislatures or governments (though I understand why they're missing in most states) -Bill repealing Quality of life gripes: -YOUR SERVER IS SLOW BECAUSE OF THE ADS -Ads -Slow server -Spending 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000 power to do literally anything -Token prices are ridiculous -Immersion is very shaky (out of the control of the devs) This game does a lot of things VERY well though: -Corruption is rampant (though there is no way to punish it, hence censorship) -Elections are very immersive -Party politics -Ideology changes -Taxes -The corporation system -Unique systems for unique legislative bodies -The news cycles -International factions -Trade deals -International politics -The budget/Debt system -The electoral college -Emails -Personal Memos -State management (in states with state legislatures) -Ideology management (coinciding with national influence, state influence) -Unions -Tariff system All-in-all, this game is really fun and the devs are hard at work fixing the problems and adding new features and countries every other month. This game does a lot of things very well and is in need of new players. Sorry for the long review! EDIT: The game was offline for a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ year and the dev added nothing. NOTHING.
