"Have you ever wanted to be president? or prime-minister? Convinced you could do a better job of running the country? Let's face it, you could hardly do a worse job than our current political leaders.
Crime, Unemployment, National Debt, Terrorism, Climate Change...Have you got the answers to the problems that face western industrialized nations? Here is your chance to find out..."
In this thread, I'm going to put Sandbox in total control of their very own nation and we'll all observe how it plays out (how quickly they get assassinated most likely). Post in the thread if you would like to be the leader of the country and I'll choose one of you to take up the role. Once a leader is chosen, they can assign ministers to advise them on certain areas, and other posters in the thread will be the general populus, requesting things of the leader of the country. I'll create, remove and adjust policies as the leader sees fit and run them through the Democracy III simulation and we'll put their governing skills to the test. Once a leader's term has ended, I'll choose another player to become the next leader and the cycle will start over again.
@Amelio those are policies that you can enact, not policies currently in effect

We have no global obligations to help anyone else in the world out so I propose we immediately scrap foreign aid. That's a whole 17 billion going down the drain for no good reason.
i think it would be much easier to sustain a country rather than go to war with everyone; is there any way you would be willing to promote a few more diplomatic policies so that we can have allies?
at the very least, if they ally with us they may fight alongside us in our wars with others.
Right. Made my decision. Let's raise the hell outta the "Tobacco Tax" and give those smokers what for. Time to tell these ciggie-sniffers that cancer is no joke.

Not sure what to make of all this. Just going to sit back for now and evaluate my options carefully. We don't want to make the amateur mistake of rushing into this whole "Run A Country" thing too hastily.

Alright President Sishen, here's my economic plan. Take all money out of promoting environmentally friendly... stuff. In fact, completely remove the Environmental Protection Agency or whatever it is we have here. dump all that money into a Mars Program. We're going to kill Earth and colonize Mars instead. then while we use up Mars, we'll learn how to colonize a new planet.
alright! sishen: what kinda of country are we running here. as the minister of foreign affairs, i notice that our military spending is extremely high, with the foreign aid we give to other nations extremely low. furthermore, our nation doesn't appear to be open to potential immigration, with a low standard of citizenship tests. do you care to share your thoughts on these things?
