I have been. You need to choose bills to spend stats you have and gain stats you don't. Like reduce business taxes to trade the high taxes for gdp growth. It's pretty simple.
So you think that passing bills can give people diseases? Maybe, just maybe, the word "Improvement" in the phrase "Public Health Improvement" has meaning and isn't there for decoration. Maybe.

It would be interesting if another country invaders us, and we could see what a bureaucracy could do in times of crisis
Yes, but it would require a nontrivial amount of effort since you're talking about a switch to filter yourself out of everyone else's searches. Obviously it can be done, but it's nowhere near a priority.

@BloonLord101 A five-year plan, basically a move towards an authoritarian planned economy, would be, impractical (to say the least), if all laws were repealed.
Tell Kongregate to add a way to differentiate between fans and friends in the API, because presently there isn't one unless I do a manual two-sided comparison.

Smurf123 is an idiot this is a great game.
Also, in addition to the negative clout I have, everytime I click bills it says: "Session key authentication failure. Please reload the page."

Also searching is bugged. Half the time i searched for Liberal AND close to passing. Voted for and got "Acting outside of your party's lines has caused you to lose some constituent support." Other half of the times it worked just fine.

One of the slowest games/sims Ive played. Dont feel connected to the game at all due to nothing happening. Ive looked at the game for 3 days now and still no level 2, what im doing seems to leave no progress except 5-18 more clout after 12-24 hours. All in all meaningless. If its your thing to log in once a day and dump all regenerated sources please check it out. If you look for something imersive with feedback, stay away. 2 stars for concept and idea. Theres far better economic and political sims out there too bad they are pay2win which this one seems to not be as there are limits on how much you can spend. No idea if they are reasonable or not.
I'm 100% certain that your progress in every video game ever made is meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Or maybe everything we do is really meaningless. Maybe you don't even exist. /deepthoughts

@tomio, Unless someone investigates you and finds out and decides to release it to the press.....then it could go horribly wrong!

What if we played for more than one country? We could also coordinate international laws and send representants to UN, OMS, G8, etc.

Could you someone add the a way to see what ability a Congress person used on a bill? I think that would be helpful but I'm not the developer lol

@Delosford But are the people allowed to have their native giraffe names on their liscence or birth certificate? No. Until such things are added that I can be a giraffe in congress I am forced to label you a homosexual communist and 10x worse than Hitler.

@ Mathus and Kalendan1 If we Abolish All Laws we could do anything we want. Nuke Russia? No problem. Homicide illegal? No laws. 5 year plan? Go ahead.
I don't allow name changes due to the PvP nature of the game. It's expected that you'll have enemies and people watching you before long, which makes changing your name a big deal.

I got a message "hacking the game is bad, mmmkay?" Is it because I thought all the political parties stank so I didn't pick any of them? XD

@ Kalendan1 Fund Everything is best though, since we'll fund the Socialist with their 5-Year Plan, fund the Libertarians to Abolish All Laws and thus make homicide legal and will also fund the Conservative's Nuke War with Russia. So everyone wins, except the government.

I lost count of how many times I've passed out on the congress floor....oh well. Least I can't get a scandal to happen on me since I have yet to buy anything scandalous.

Do you have any idea for mobile expansion??? It would be cool to get this game bobile on iPhone and Android, with a link acct. to Kong/Facebook button :)
You can already play the game from a mobile device, though you have to be a little roundabout with Kong's site because it's technically not a mobile game on their site. Or you can set your mobile browser to not identify as mobile, if you know how to do that kind of thing.
Yes. You should also notice nation rank being a lot more responsive to stats. The way it was before, GDP/capita and public health were more important than anything else by far.

If we were to pass a win bill to reset the whole damn thing, might as well make it the Five Year Plan. I mean, the alternatives screw the country over faster than you can say "George W. Bush"... You have "Abolish all laws", "Legalize homicide", "Fund EVERYTHING" and "Nuke Russia for the lulz 'cuz 'Murica". A planned economy is sounding better by the minute, isn't it, comrades?

"Tighten gun control costs money, by the way. I'm not sure why people seem to think it doesn't." Whelp, I'm out. There's no way we're fixing public health. I hope uncle Sam likes leaches.
You realize you can just concurrently pass public health bills with pay down debt bills to raise public health at the expense of other stats, right? There are better ways to do it in terms of stat efficiency in the end, but that's the fastest.

What is the deal with "hacking" if you investigate 111?Some dude told me to investigate 111, and it said something about hacking.

Oh hey, you hired my 8th grade Algebra teacher!
Couple weeks to a month. It's mostly content generation at this point so it's hard to give a reasonable estimate. Various things happened in my life that prevented that two weeks to a month from happening already.
