Democracy 4 lets you take the role of President / Prime minister, govern the country (choosing its policies, laws and other actions), and both transform the country as you see fit, while trying to retain enough popularity to get re-elected...

Horrible simulation. Many problems like the debt crisis are self reinforcing so once they happen they stick. The warnings you get are either too late or too early because they don't take rate of change into account. Most of policies translate very badly to a one dimensional dial, so things like progressive taxation are just not possible. Mostly I am disappointed that really nothing changed from Democracy3 apart from election campaigning and undermining democracy.
El juego es muy entretenido y cumple su propósito, aunque me gustaría que haya un mejor realismo económico, ya que está muy sesgado hacia el intervencionismo y políticas económicas keynesianas, especialmente en el uso de bonos del gobierno, expansión monetaria cuantitativa (QE) y el helicopoter money, ya que podes abusar de este tipo de tácticas casi sin ningún tipo de restricción, en donde la principal desventaja es la suba de la inflación que es muy controlable dentro del juego. Yo le agregaría la penalización económica de burbuja económica si es que usas estas herramientas económicas por un tiempo prolongado (algo que sucede en la vida real). Además es molesto el cap máximo de PBI que tiene el juego, haciendo que tus ingresos no puedan crecer mucho más a pesar de tener el PBI al máximo de su potencial. En Economías reales, el PBI de los países crece casi todos los años a una tasa compuesta del 3% en promedio. Que dicho de paso, los ciclos económicos del mundo se sienten muy extremos, algo que sirve para la experiencia del juego, pero que quita realismo. Y principalmente lo que más me molesta es que podes tener un país extremadamente capitalista, pero el ingreso que recibis por el impuesto a las sociedades no cambia casi nada, cómo si pocas empresas estuvieran dispuestas a un país que tiene 100% ideología capitalista, haciendo que este sea uno de los peores puntos del juego, ya que no tiene ningún tipo de sentido, ya que justamente son las empresas las que invierten y generan ganancias masivas en un país altamente capitalista que tiene impuestos bajos. El punto que más destacaría positivamente es la mecánica de poder cambiar la ideología de la sociedad a medida que tus politicas resultan ser exitosas, eso es un muy buen punto a favor de este juego y le da un toque muy realista. ¿Recomiendo este juego? Sí, es muy entretenido. Esta crítica es más que nada dirigida al modelo económico.

This game has a lot of flaws. International relations and other countries or geopolitical blocks are ignrored. Policies and effects are somewhat predetermined and also have their own bias. Effect of policies like police and education have short term effects which are unrealistic. Also environment policies have a very short term effect especially regarding the climate. Economy and GDP are somewhat capped and income from taxes also does not keep growing as it should. Events are limited and repetetive when you play for longer. Tropico did a better job regarding simulating economy and politics and also is more fun.
很有意思,在尝试中国的国内政策用在民主国家会怎么样。目前来看,民主国家的问题也很多,发展的并不是一定就比独裁国家好,独裁统治反而效率更高,只要独裁统治的目标是发展国家,独裁反而是件好事。当然,对于穷人来说可能还是民主国家体验更好,总的来说都是阶级剥削,少数人奴役多少人。
There's no substance, like this game doesn't even want me to care about it.
its a very fun game, although once you learn how to play the game it isnt that exciting to keep playing, still would reccommend for most people to try it cause its fun. worth the cost if ur buying it on sale, otherwise not
I don't ever review a game. Well to be honest.. I have never, until this time here. If you like political stuff in real life, you will like this game. It is tough to learn, at first. But super well worth the time investing into learning, and getting better with each new Country playthrough. Game is simple in its design in some aspects. Then on other aspects, such a simulation? Spot on. Great game. Great time killer.
