## What is I Must Stay?

Congratulations, you are now the absolute ruler of the nation! But how long can you survive on this thorny throne?

I MUST STAY only have a single developer which is waiting for your support to achieve his dreams..

It's a satirical political survival game where you leave your morals at the door. Your goal is simple: Do whatever it takes to stay in power, even if the country burns to the ground!

You must balance five highly "sensitive" factions at the same time: The Public, Investors, Mafia, Cult, and the Army. Fulfill absurd religious demands, share state tenders with the mob, and blame foreign powers for your sinking economy. Just remember, if one faction's patience runs out... your exit won't be very democratic.

FEATURES:

Tough Decisions: Make critical yes/no choices that will shape the destiny of the nation (and your personal wallet).

Skill Tree: Upgrade your ruling abilities, master the art of corruption, and perfect your propaganda machine to secure your reign!

The Art of Laundering: The state treasury might be empty, but your offshore accounts shouldn't be! Siphon funds and launder them to grow your wealth.

Election Panic: When election day arrives, either bankrupt the country with populist promises or enjoy the perks of a police state.

Leaderboards: Prove your survival record to other dictators worldwide. Who can cling to power the longest?

Leader Collection: Survive long enough to unlock a gallery of bizarre, yet suspiciously familiar, dictator avatars.

Great Middle East Crisis Pack (DLC): Standard chaos not enough? Expand your corrupt empire with oil-rich, high-tension scenarios.

Inflation might hit record highs and the infrastructure might collapse. You only have one target : Year 2028
