GovCraft – Lead a Nation. Shape the Future. Survive the Election.
You have just taken office. The budget is under pressure, citizens are demanding action, the media is watching every move, and the next election is already getting closer. Can you govern well enough to stay in power?
GovCraft is a deep political simulation game where every decision has consequences. Raise taxes to fund healthcare, invest in education, expand transport, protect the environment, strengthen security, or cut spending to control debt. Every choice creates winners and losers — and every voter group is paying attention.
GOVERN YOUR NATION
Set policy across 8 government departments: Economy, Healthcare, Education, Environment, Security, Welfare, Transport, and Foreign Policy. Balance budgets, pass laws, launch major projects, and shape the long-term direction of your country.
MANAGE A DYNAMIC BUDGET
Your treasury is not just a number. Revenue and spending react to the state of the nation. Unemployment, demographics, poverty, crime, migration pressure, energy prices, global tensions and more can all change the cost of governing. A popular promise today can become a fiscal crisis tomorrow.
TRACK THE ISSUE RADAR
The new Issue Radar turns national statistics into political pressure points. See which problems are gaining momentum, which voters are affected, and which policies could help before the crisis reaches the front page.
MAKE ELECTION PROMISES
Before election day, choose campaign promises to win support. Promise lower crime, better healthcare, stronger education, greener policy, faster growth or lower debt — then prove you can deliver. Broken promises can come back to haunt your next campaign.
READ THE NEWSPAPERS
Public opinion now has a voice. The newspaper system reports on your decisions, national trends, voter anger, economic shocks and political opportunities. Stay informed, react quickly, and keep control of the narrative.
FACE A CHANGING WORLD
Your country does not exist in isolation. The world economy, energy markets, climate pressure, migration trends, global technology competition and international tensions can shift over time and affect your national outcomes.
WIN THE VOTERS
Workers, businesses, youth, retirees, progressives, conservatives and many more groups all care about different things. Please one group and another may turn against you. To survive, you need more than good numbers — you need a coalition that still believes in you when the votes are counted.
