# Democracy 2 Summer DB entity ID: 4696d08e\-6538\-4759\-9ff2\-5d50341dc0c5 Steam App ID: 218040 Democracy 2 is the ultimate political strategy / simulation game\. The game simulates the motivations, loyalties and desires of everyone in the country\. As president or prime minister, it's your job to balance the need for income from taxes against the demands of the voters\. Do you want your country to be an eco\-friendly green paradise? Or a capitalist utopia? Will you pander to the patriots, the liberals or the religious pressure groups? Can you keep crime under control without destroying the civil liberties of your citizens? And can you keep good diplomatic relations with other nation states? Despite the complex simulation underneath, Democracy 2 is easy to pick up\. An innovative user\-interface shows the relationships between everything in the game just by hovering your mouse over an object\. The game is 'turn based', so it's the ideal game for those who prefer an intelligent, thoughtful game\. The key to the game are the policy 'sliders' that let you adjust how your government runs\. You can raise or lower taxes with a slider, or even adjust education policy, or workers rights in exactly the same way\. This system makes for a game that is easy to learn and difficult to master\. Democracy 2 covers the whole range of political opinion and policy, from debates over stem cell research and school prayer, through the provision of state health care and benefit payments to the unemployed, right across to tax shelters for the wealthy, the death penalty, military spending and civil rights\. Regardless of where you stand on political topics, you will have the option to take control of the government and put your ideology to the test\. ## Game information - Type: game - Developer: Positech Games - Publisher: Positech Games - Release date: Oct 11, 2012 - Coming soon: false - Free to play: false - Parent Steam app: Not collected - Genres: Indie, Simulation, Strategy - Categories: Single\-player, Family Sharing - Platforms: windows, mac - Website: Not collected - Screenshots: https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/218040/ss\_36809c316f3a2c90e1fb904b5aee4713d98dba01\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1447356388, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/218040/ss\_7894a932a77d232811c568b2814f4af2e6a311f7\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1447356388, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/218040/ss\_1a46888a8d1ec3b45fcece867e477092c609792a\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1447356388, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/218040/ss\_561589e99b43620fefdf5ce11e24ace588239dc1\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1447356388, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/218040/ss\_76d0e5518a6505659f15356f6b7c759edff573c4\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1447356388, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/218040/ss\_a5b28f9c0fbb898c750f09b97981848d9ba400be\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1447356388, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/218040/ss\_6461a2ccfcb0388fa3bd715f014ba737dd07f347\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1447356388, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/218040/ss\_2f72bebda4b0bc6a62687a07b6f9763e42145d70\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1447356388 - Price: 1999 minor units USD; discount 0% - Price country: US ## Observed metrics - Current players: 0 - Steam review count: 112 - Steam positive reviews: 61 - Steam negative reviews: 51 - Steam positive percentage: 54.464285714285715% - Summer DB rating: No native votes Review filters: \{"language":"all","review\_type":"all","purchase\_type":"all","filter\_offtopic\_activity":0\} ## Player history [Seven-day chart data as Markdown](/api/v1/entities/4696d08e-6538-4759-9ff2-5d50341dc0c5/player-metrics?days=7&format=markdown) · [JSON](/api/v1/entities/4696d08e-6538-4759-9ff2-5d50341dc0c5/player-metrics?days=7) Chart values are hourly observed maxima.
