Democracy is in your hands. Totally free. Entirely playable offline. Republic is a single-player, turn-based democracy simulator for iPhone and iPad, with support for iPhone Duo. Run a fictional United States, reform 249 policies, balance the budget and face the voters. The whole game is free: no ads, subscriptions or in-app purchases. America is yours to reform. Unfortunately, the voters are still included. MAKE YOUR CASE Choose your president and party, customize starting conditions, and pick a difficulty. Keep the default cabinet or assemble your own. Set optional campaign promises, then decide how to deliver them. REFORM, COMPROMISE, REPEAT Explore 249 policy controls across seven departments. Privatize or nationalize, cut taxes or expand public services, strengthen diplomacy or fund the military. Political capital is limited, reforms take time, and even your supporters have opinions. FOLLOW THE MONEY Trace income, spending, debt and interest in interactive budget breakdowns. Open the policies behind the numbers. Popular promises still arrive with invoices. HEAR THE COUNTRY Read cabinet letters, respond to political dilemmas and follow fictional public posts. Track national trends, understand voter groups and see how your decisions shape your political compass. FACE THE VOTE Watch election night unfold across the US map. Build a coalition that lasts, recover from an unpopular choice or discover that doing nothing was also a choice. KEEP EXPERIMENTING Earn local milestones and political-path achievements. Keep multiple presidencies with autosaves and manual saves. Try Sandbox mode to waive political-capital costs while budgets, implementation and elections still apply. Play offline, choose light or dark appearance, and adjust sound, haptics and motion preferences. PLAY ANYWHERE, EVEN OFFLINE Run your country on the train, on a flight or wherever your next idea strikes. No internet connection, account or advertising gets between you and your presidency. A BIGGER VIEW OF YOUR COUNTRY Play on iPhone, settle in with iPad or open iPhone Duo for more room to weigh your next decision. Keep your choices and presidency with you as you turn the screen or open Duo. Gameplay analytics is optional and off by default. Republic is a fictional simulation, not a forecast or an endorsement of any political view.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Republic at none against Midterms 2026's 7. Republic also leads on ads (none vs shown). Midterms 2026's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
