Political Games
A political game is a game in which players roleplay and pretend to represent a government running a country.
Some games operate much like the traditional legislative government, relying on building consensuses to get things done. This includes:
- Nomic -- a game played by changing its own rules
- The Politics Game -- a game simulating a parliamentary democracy, in which any user active enough in discussion is allowed to form a party and discuss issues of the day in Parliament which effect the day to day running of the game/forum. Notable for being run entirely on the phpBB forum system rather than an actual game system.
- Senate Seeker -- a game simulating the United States government in which members of the prominent American political parties (and third parties) compete for the Senate and House of Representatives. The game includes active forums, discussion, Bill proposals and a working Supreme Court. The game is entirely text based and free.
- Extremapol -- a game simulating the Spanish parliamentary democracy, in which you can play as a major party member (PSOE, PP, IU) asturian, castillan, catalonian, galician and basque nationalists and a lot of other "third parties" like the neofascists "Frente Espa?l" or the liberal "Uni? Liberal Republicana" . The game includes non only the Congress of the Deputies (Low Chamber of the Spanish democracy) also the 17 autonomic parliaments. The game is entirely text based and free.
