Democracy 4 lets you take on the role of President or Prime Minister, govern a country by choosing its policies, laws, and actions, and transform society according to your ideals — all while trying to stay popular enough to get re-elected.
Powered by a custom-built neural network that simulates the thoughts, beliefs, biases, and reactions of thousands of virtual citizens, Democracy 4 represents the cutting edge of political simulation. A new vector-graphics engine provides a cleaner, more adaptable interface, and this fourth entry adds numerous features including media reports, coalition governments, three-party systems, emergency powers, and deeper modeling of issues such as inflation, corruption, modern financial tools, and contemporary social policies.
The Ultimate Political Sandbox
Think you can do better than real-world politicians? Democracy 4 will put that belief to the test. With one eye on your national budget, one eye on the polls, and a constant awareness of security threats, you’ll quickly discover that governing effectively is far more difficult than it seems.
Experiment freely: legalize all drugs, arm the police with machine guns, ban abortion, heavily subsidize green energy, implement universal basic income — or slash pensions to fund scientific research. Every choice has consequences, both immediate and long-term.
No Bias, No Lectures
The game makes a conscious effort not to push any political ideology. This is not a political manifesto — it’s a strategy game. Whether you want to build a libertarian utopia with no taxes or public spending, or a fully nationalized welfare state with strict regulations and wealth caps, the game simply simulates the likely outcomes of your decisions.
Made for Modders
Following enthusiastic support from modders in previous installments, Democracy 4 is designed to be highly mod-friendly. With Steam Workshop support and plain-text data files, editing or adjusting the game’s assumptions — and sharing your own political vision — is easy.
Your Legacy Awaits
Winning elections isn’t the ultimate goal — building a country you’re proud of is. Losing is just the end screen (unless you’re assassinated!), but the real question is whether you can create a thriving, functional society under your leadership. Good luck!
