Very Good Game- I think it will end up being great
Best political sim on the App Store
Improvements are all things that I am sure will come with updates. A more complex global stage and international dialogue would be great. Trying to remain as leader after a lost election or even a mode where once you lose you switch to your replacement and fight to get back into government. Only thing I don’t like is that when I lose the worlds lost I really want to develop and win lol

Thank you this is really appreciated, and "can't break past 3 terms" is exactly where I want a political sim to sit: hard enough that surviving feels earned. You'll get there. Your improvement ideas are sharp, and two of them are things I'm actively thinking about. A deeper global stage and richer international dialogue is high on the list, the world leaders and diplomacy have been getting steadily more complex, and there's more coming. And the "fight your way back after losing" idea is one I love: switching to your replacement and clawing back into government, or hanging on as leader after a defeat, is a mode with real potential. No promises on timing, but it's exactly the kind of direction I want the game to go. On losing the world when you lose, I hear you completely, and that "I just want to keep developing and win" pull is the best possible problem to have. It means the game's got its hooks in. Thank you for playing, and for taking the time to write this.
Great game but one issue…
but even just the first 8 weeks are enough to get you hooked.

Thank you that's a lovely thing to read, and I'm glad it filled the gap. There aren't enough games like this, which is largely why I made it. On the price, it's a fair thing to raise and I'd rather answer honestly than dodge it. The game is made by one person, there are no ads and no subscription, and the £6.99 is a single payment that unlocks the full game, not episodes, not a season pass, and nothing that expires. That payment is what funds the game continuing to improve, and it's had a lot of updates since launch with more coming. The eight weeks are meant to do exactly what you described: enough to know whether it's for you before spending anything. I'd rather that than a thin demo that doesn't show you the real thing. I don't have plans to change the price at the moment, but I'm glad you raised it and I am listening. Thanks again for the review — it means a lot.
Unbelievable game
Response from developer
Thank you that's a brilliant review to wake up to. On your question: there is a foreign policy and conflict layer, and it opens up the deeper you get. Conflicts emerge, you decide how to respond, and those choices feed back into the economy and your standing at home. So you'll get some of what you're describing, though not the part where you're building bases and moving individual ships. Full military asset management is a bigger build than it sounds but it's the most interesting request I've had in a while, and I've written it down. Thanks for taking the time.
Favorite game right now
Response from developer
Thank you that really means a lot. Diplomacy is exactly where the work has gone. The latest update builds the conflict system out considerably: wars now unfold as a run of Foreign Office briefings rather than one-off events, the decisions you take get remembered and cited back at you later, and allied leaders will ring you about them. Five regions, not just one. Worth updating for. And I'd really like to know which bugs. Settings → Report a Problem,I fix everything that gets reported, and a batch went out in this update that came straight from reviews like yours.
