Democracy III (Sandbox Plays)

about 8 years

"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.


Roles you can apply for:

  • President
  • Foreign Affairs Minister
  • Welfare Minister
  • Minister for Industry
  • Chancellor
  • Public Services Minister
  • Law and Order Minister
  • Transport Minister

okay! here we go. the current issues affecting our country (and their respective minister):

LAW AND ORDER
Antisocial Behaviour
Internet Crime
Alcohol Abuse
Vigilante Mobs

PUBLIC SERVICES
Asthma Epidemic
Drug Addiction
Obesity

ECONOMY (Industry)
Pollution
Skills Shortage

WELFARE
Homelessness


Antisocial behavior is genetic, internet crime isn't a real thing, alcohol abuse won't become an issue if we decriminalize all drugs, vigilantes are great.

Asthma isn't real, drugs are fun, tell em to hit the gym.

Pollution is a myth, everybody should get good.

Homelessness is the adventurers way of life.
