Civic Mandate

You lead a real democracy. Every tax, every law and every crisis is on you, and the voters will remember.

Civic Mandate is a political strategy game set in 33 real countries, from Estonia and Japan to the United States. You don't play a cartoon dictator or a faceless empire. You govern a democracy as it actually works, with limited money, competing interests and another election always on the horizon.

RUN THE COUNTRY
Set tax rates and decide where every euro, yen or dollar goes. Draft and enact laws, appoint ministers, work with parliament, manage national debt, and handle relations with other countries. Each nation starts with its own economy, budget and political landscape.

LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES
Nothing happens in isolation. A tax cut can lift growth and widen the deficit. A popular program can win one group of voters and cost you another. Policies take time to land, and their effects build month after month, sometimes long after you've forgotten why you enacted them.

SURVIVE IN OFFICE
Keep public opinion on your side, hold your support in parliament, and steer the economy through crises you didn't choose. Then face the voters. A strong economy doesn't guarantee a second term, and an unpopular reform can still be the right call.

NO TWO TERMS ALIKE
Governing Japan is a different problem from governing the United States or Estonia. Different budgets, institutions and pressures lead to different strategies, and different choices lead to very different countries by the end of your term.

FREE TO START, ONE-TIME TO OWN
Your first full term is free in Estonia, Japan or the United States, with nothing to buy. If you want more, the Full edition continues your presidency, opens all 33 countries, and removes ads. You can also buy the World atlas (every country) or Remove ads on its own. All purchases are one-time, with no subscriptions. Restore Purchases is in Profile.
