How to play

• Adjust department sliders to set policy direction.
• Respond to monthly crisis events with political judgement, not just budget maths.
• Expect crisis events to react to the calendar, the scenario, and the condition of the country.
• Track the national mood layer to see which issues are dominating the political weather.
• Use the media narrative panel to understand the current attack lines and where the campaign is getting softer.
• Use New Scenario to swap between different starting governments and difficulty levels.
• Press Next Turn to advance one month.
• Watch approval, government stability, implementation queue, and election outlook.
• Use the regional swingboard to spot strongholds, vulnerable territory, and rough seat paths.
• Save progress locally or reset for a fresh government at any time.
