RandomNation - Politics Game

Great concept, but it's a little iffy at times. I've noticed that sometimes doing something will have the opposite effect than it should. For instance, sometimes raising taxes will decrease the balance and vice versa. One time specifically I lowered taxes and the balance went down (as it should), then I raised it again and it continued to go down, so I lowered it again just to test it and it still went down. Sometimes stuff like that happens and it's a bit annoying. Hopefully this gets fixed 🤞

Played the free "game" but more of a demo. The game didn't give me nearly enough feed back about how my policies affected the country. Had a outbreak happen, new policies or special decisions which added temporary buffs or Timed policies would have been cool. The game just throws you into the fray, explains very little, and a bunch of graphs that - without context on the rise and falls of the graph - make the whole experience confusing and lackluster. I was excited when I read the description.

Literally, the game has improved a tone! But I believe it can be continued to still be improved, it has a lot of damn potential as a mobile game. Perhaps you should add more types of taxation alongside more types of spending, if it comes to the ' security' part of the game you could add a propaganda station? Honestly, there's a lot of things you can take from political history and now to add in the game. Overall it's really great, and I'm more impressed than before with it.

Originally bought the plus, which unfortunately didn't work. I contacted the developer who fixed the problem and I was able to enjoy the plus features. A great time waster but a few additions, like coming up with your own or having your decisions mean more, would definitely put it over the top

There's nothing particularly wrong with the game, its just very uneventful. You spend a few years getting everything balanced and then you just click skip month over and over, occasionally changing a policy back after parliament changes something. The random events are very few and far between so the game gets boring.

-=UPDATED=- Have played this game for a very long time loved both the old and new version. Like its amazing now. My 2 inputs would be, Remove the automatic debt that is added. I liked where we could take out a loan if need be. Instead you go into extreme bankruptcy before it ends. 2nd would be maybe more advanced like more sliders I mean 2 is to little 3 is to much. Hopefully the debt stuff gets changed! Love the game.

Does the game has an end or it just goes on forever? I have pressed "skip" for 60+ in game year and always passed the election with 50~60% of vote without changing any policy. It just weird to think that a party has been in power for over a century and the opposition never won a single election while haveing 40~50% of the vote. The policies sometimes works great and other times something happens for some random reason. Also a theme song would be great.

I really like the game, it's quite deep for $5. Wish it was more fleshed out and had difficulty settings. I personally found it alittle easy. Great play otherwise!

I like it, but after playing for a while it gets boring, none of the parties change the game that much... maybe add more options for policies and more events, maybe have a way to interact with other countries more, maybe a map.

It is a pretty fun game and good for passing time. I think it is a bit boring sometimes. There are two features I think would improve it a lot - you have to run a proper campaign every election and sometimes, you have to form a coalition to avoid receiving a vote of no confidence from parliament.

Disappointed in this game. As a center right leader I lasted for just over 10 years. As a center left leader I lasted for over 150 years. Seems kind of slanted, but really disappointed in the lack of help or information. If I bail out companies, what does that do. Just not worth the effort to try to understand here. Hard pass and uninstall. Final point: leaderboard is really messed up. My longest game is 6 years, but it actually 150 years. Some people have lasted 500+ years, what a joke!

The game seems good but I find one thing ridiculous and that thing is that the Government cannnot be removed if it is doing well in the polls. Secondly it also can't be removed if it has been elected with a clear majority, it has to finish it's allotted term. Kindly fix this issue.

It's incredibly basic. I wish that it told you how much a policy was going to cost, and had advisors that gave you some idea of what the policies did. Additionally it should probably have laws, and more precise management since you very quickly run out of things to do. I played one game where I got my unemployment down from 10% to 8%, and yet my wages kept falling. I even increased unionisation twice and it had no effect. I simply had no ideas what was causing it. Very opaque, and clunky.

I now understand political decisions better! I think everyone should play at least one round of this game to understand political decisions better. In- or decreasing taxes, when to improve healthcare or education. In the game its all about popularity because you have to win the elections, just like in real life. And in order to gain popularity from different people you have to do changes to make them happy, even if its not the right thing for the state. Great game for political understanding!

Cool game, quite realistic although simple. I'd suggest making it possible to set policies that increase birthrate, since it is impossible to stop your population from aging or shrinking. That being said, there should also be some disadvantages from having a lot of citizens. Currently it is impossible to create a state similair to eg. Pakistan.

It's fairly entertaining but there should be a way to "win" . After playing up to almost 14 years on my third or fourth try even after taking out a loan i still had money but then it said i was out of cash?!?! A good little time waste for free but 3/5 is the best i can give it. Edit: now up to 25 years in power. It just still stays the same though. I haven't even needed to take out a loan. What I did want to say is that i really appreciate that the creators actually responded to my review.

Though graphics are not the best, It's a wonderfully realistic game with many features. It develops your understanding of economics and politics, and I like how you can become different parties.

This game is so great. It's so fun and great to know YOU CANT FORCE THINGS TO HAPPEN. For ex. If I wanted to raise my defences to full. The parliament will say no. This game is just what I was looking for. In terms of controlling a country. Even though I kinda like the dictator mode. I like the democracy mode WAY better. It's way more fun and entertaining. I hope they keep updating the game. But if they cant. It's fine since its already a great game by itself. I hope you guys play and have fun.

Great Game, but it's werid how I can stay in office for more than 150 years Also, the graph's markings are kinda broken. Like, if I zoom in, the intervals are always at least 15 years by now, and I don't see any markings

It's a great game, i wish there was more economic indicators like GDP ( developer says they are working on it). The update made it way better. The developer is also really good at responding to feature requests and bug reports. Keep it up!

Its cool to play around with, but its not very good Designing its hard to Learn how the game works cause theres no Tutorial. Also, if you dont speek english you cant Change the language..

I've been looking for a game that's realistic in terms of actual government control. So far I have enjoyed this game but it needs some updating and more options, after a while it starts to get a bit repetitive.

I tried playing it but every time it comes to the election, an ad is played but the ad is paused indefinitely and I never get to see the results of the election and have to restart

Good simple game that teaches you the basics of the economy and governance. Non-biased and easy to understand. Could do with a few more obstacles though

I love this game, one thing that i would like to see in the future is set ammonts on spending and taxes rather than 4 sliders. The reason i want this is because on defence spending the 2nd slider is too little and the 3rd is too much.

Not fun to play, not nearly enough options to control your economy and elections and popularity system is stupid. Only managing one policy in one month is also terrible.

I'd like to update my review to four stars, I've definitely seen some improvements in the game since the last update, though I think more could still be added and I hope those who are working on this continue to update!!!

Fun game, it just needs some more development. The game is pretty fun for a while but at times it can kind of boring because nothing new seems to be added at least over the past while, which makes you feel like you're doing almost the same thing every game.
