New Gov Sim Roleplaying Game
New Gov Sim Roleplaying Game


OK for all You Political Junkie's there is a New Gov Sim Game.

Welcome to the United States Government Simulation!

Since 2000,USGovsim has been the top government simulation on the Internet. Players across the nation compete in elections and on the Congressional floor to reach their goals of holding office and to press forward their ideas for improving the nation.

In this game you are a politician, thus your goal is not just to debate and propose bills. Your goal is also to remind the people from the region you represent why they should always vote for you. If this means switching party lines, voting against what you truly believe in, or being somebody you aren't, then that is what you must do. It IS intriguing, and if you join this game and vote for bills you like but your state does not, you will rarely do well. Why? Because the American people want a charismatic and upstanding representative of their collective ideals, they don't want an extremist radical who wants to let everybody own a tank, or abolish the government.This game is unique in its demand for players' accountability to their constituents. This game is about true politics: The ones who can adapt and moderate their issues win, the ones who cannot...well...they don't survive.....

Feel free to browse around this site and our boards. If you have comments or questions about our game,or simply need more information and want to contact us,click on the FAQ and contact our administrators. They are more than happy to accommodate your needs.

And remember, just as in politics, anything can happen in USGovsim! Thanks for visiting and we look forward to seeing you play!

3. Cancel all my plans for the next two weeks
How did I not know about this?

But I disagree with the premise. People who don't always represent the views of their constituents often do well if they are seen as courageous or principled leaders. Senators Paul Simon and Paul Wellstone are good examples. Bush is another example. His agenda is not what the American people want, but he has good spin and is seen as a strong leader with conviction by many people.

Also, some people stay in office for years based on doing good casework in their district and personal relationships, despite being out of touch with political feelings of the people they represent.
