The game should be called Socialism 3. Let's sum some of the extremely biased concepts in this game up:

1. Only liberals care about homelessness. Conservatives don't care (literally) if people have nowhere to live. Conservatives don't show up anywhere on homelessness. Liberals do. Therefore, only liberals care about the negative impact of homelessness.

2. Only liberals care about health and education. Conservatives just want dumb, malleable masses to use as cheap labor. You can reduce unemployment by almost 20%, gut the income tax, balance the budget and still have a 21% decrease in popularity due to a 17% decrease in food stamps and unemployment support.

3. Uncontrolled, rampant undocumented immigration will have zero effect on your country other than raising "tensions". If you decrease illegal immigration expect your tourism to collapse (literally) and for your economy to decline somewhat (literally). Undocumenteds don't pay taxes and even as your crime decreases and your employment rates stay the same, just having your tourism decrease will be enough to kibosh your economy. Also expect over 80% of the country to view you unfavorably, even if your GDP rate is in the mid green and your nation is performing stellarly. Crime decreased only 1% by cutting undocumented immigration by over 25%. You decide if that makes sense.

4. Over 85% of all policies that you can enact pretty much are oppressive controls. Tell people what they can eat or drink. Where they can live. What they can say. What they can do. What they can think. Instantiate policies that increase taxes or subsidies, or both. The options for diminishing government are severely limited and you're punished immediately if you do. Percentage swings are disproportional. Decrease crime in your nation by 20%? Great. Conservatives increase in happiness by 3%. Increase oil drilling by less than 10%? Prepare for over a 30% decrease in approval from liberals.

The game's algorithms have a very...interesting definition of how politics work. The core mechanic of the game is balancing your constituencies to keep votes for a re-election campaign. Except conservative constituencies don't exist beyond "'Murica yeah!" military supporters, immigrant-phobic proponents that just hate ethnic individuals and religious caricatures simply don't exist. Oh yeah, did I mention that if you have an even remotely permissive nation that protects religious freedoms, your technology levels will decline dramatically? Because obviously if you're a believer, you must be some technically illiterate caveman. Right? Right?

I can't recommend a game this slanted and openly disingenuous and low-IQ. In fact I'm going to try and get a refund. I recommend every conservative that made the mistake of purchasing this game do the same. A political simulator with only one arm of the political spectrum is like Hearthstone with creatures that only have toughness but no attack. What?

Avoid this joke.

3/10.
