Empire, Inc. vs 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.
