## What is MANDATE?

MANDATE is a realist, hard-edged government simulation. Choose a nation, take office, and try to keep your mandate while the economy, approval, and stability tend to erode.

- 3D globe to pick a playable nation
- Cabinet with budgets, programs, and a bulletin
- Crises and fiscal pressure that actually bite
- Mandates up to 24 months (12 in the demo)

UI chrome is available in many languages; event and program copy may still fall back to English or Italian depending on locale.

The books matter: deficits and surpluses move debt, inflation, and approval. It is not unwinnable - on easier difficulties, governing well yields a clear victory - but without constant course corrections the system drifts worse on its own.

## Pricing and in-app purchases
