Political Simulations (games)

Post by TheNewTeddy »

Curious if anyone here plays any polsims? I founded one myself back in 2003. Currently I play in one on reddit called CMHoC where I'm progressive party leader. Canadian Model House of Commons. There is a MHoC for the UK and a Model US Government as well. Beyond this I really don't know what's going on in the polsim world, and am wondering if anyone here does?

Democracy 3 is the best political simulator I've seen. It's quite complicated, and balances a lot of different mindsets and policies.

Does Crusader Kings 2 count? or the Victoria games (which have a fairly complex system of economics and government policy)?
Also, I back up the recommendation of Democracy 3. I haven't played it in a while, but it was quite good.
