HOW IT WORKS
Monthly presidential briefing — a crisis event lands on your desk
STEP 1
You get briefed.
Each month, a political event hits your desk — a mass shooting, an inflation spike, a foreign crisis. Some months, nothing happens and you set your own agenda.
Type any policy you want — no multiple choice
STEP 2
You respond.
Type any policy you want. There are no multiple-choice options. Write "ban all guns" or "arm every teacher" or anything in between. Add public spin to frame it your way.
24 AI voter personas react to your policy
STEP 3
America reacts.
24 AI voter personas score your policy. A Texas rancher, a Brooklyn activist, a Cuban-American swing voter — each with their own values, fears, and red lines.
EVERY DECISION RIPPLES
MEDIA REACTION
The press writes about you.
Three newspapers — left, centre, and right — generate real headlines about your policy every single month. Watch the media spin your decisions in completely different directions.

State-by-state approval map across all 50 states
STATE-BY-STATE MAP
Your approval shifts across all 50 states.
Every policy moves the needle differently in Texas vs Massachusetts vs Ohio. Red states, blue states, swing states — they all react based on their demographic makeup. Win the electoral college or lose it.
POWER DYNAMICS
Stakeholders turn on you — or rally behind you.
Wall Street, the NRA, the Pentagon, evangelical leaders, civil rights groups, union workers — 29 real power blocs track your record and shift their support over time. Lose enough of them and your presidency crumbles.

Your earlier policy decision comes back as a consequence event
CONSEQUENCES
Your policies come back to haunt you.
Fund opioid treatment centres in February? By April, suburban voters are protesting "drug magnets" in their neighbourhoods. Every decision creates downstream events that force a second response.
GO DEEPER
ADVANCED SIMULATION MODES
Economy, Congress, and Social Engineering.
Toggle on the full simulation. GDP growth, unemployment, inflation, and the national debt react to every policy. Your legislation must survive Congress, the courts, and the federal bureaucracy — lose the midterms and watch your agenda get blocked. Track 20+ national statistics — crime, poverty, immigration, overdose deaths, home ownership, press freedom — and watch them shift with every decision you make.
Economy dashboard, Congress balance, and national statistics panel
Survive 4 years. Face two elections. Win — or get forced out.
Month 22: midterm elections decide whether Congress backs you or blocks you. Month 46: the presidential election. Your entire record is on the ballot — every policy, every scandal, every betrayal. 48 months of decisions compressed into a single night.
Your presidential dashboard — approval, party stability, government support
Take office.
Free to play. No credit card. Your first presidential briefing is waiting.

CHANGELOG — 27/04/26 · v1.6.0 Alpha
1. Vice President system. Every career has a VP — preset scenarios get the canonical one, custom scenarios pick from a generated shortlist. Assign them an issue portfolio, see them on the dashboard, and they get named on Senate tie-breaks.
2. Continue as VP. At the end of your term, the game-over screen offers a button to continue the career as your VP. Cabinet, ongoing wars, economy, and the rest of the world carry over.
3. Custom Bio. New premium toggle on custom presidents. Fill out a guided form about your president and the news cycle reflects them throughout the term. Also feeds into the Wikipedia article at the end.
4. President-specific events. Every preset and alt-history scenario now has events that only fire for that specific president.
5. Four new alternate-history scenarios: Gore 2001, Kerry 2005, McCain 2009, Romney 2013.
6. Approval breakdown. New dashboard card showing approval sliced by age, race, and partisan lean.
7. Statistic history. Click any economy or national-statistics card on the dashboard to see a line graph of that stat over time.
8. Direct Cabinet Order. New premium textarea on the cabinet management screen for hiring, firing, and replacing officials between policy turns.
9. Dark mode.
10. Debug panel. Manually edit economic, social, and diplomatic stats if the AI produces obviously bogus numbers.
11. Forego re-election. First-term presidents can announce they won't seek re-election; the campaign and the presidential election are blocked for the rest of the term.
12. Assassination. When government stability collapses, members of the cabinet, the Vice President, or the President themselves can be killed. Presidential assassination routes straight into the VP continuation flow.
13. Covert actions. Premium players can authorize a shadow-track action alongside any policy — bribery, sabotage, blackmail, surveillance, foreign intervention. Bypasses persona reactions and the press, but each action carries a discovery probability. Big, public-facing actions cannot be hidden. Exposed actions return as scandal events months later.
14. Bug fixes.
15. As always, there will be bugs. If you find any, flag them in the Discord.
CHANGELOG — 16/04/26 · v1.5.0 Alpha
1. New war system. Manage ongoing wars with force composition, public and international support, allied coalitions, peace negotiations, and nuclear options.
2. Three new starting scenarios: Bush 2001, Bush 2005, and Obama 2009.
3. Hundreds of new events. Every starting date now has its own period-specific event pool.
4. Weekly mode. Premium players can now run a 4-year term as 208 weekly turns instead of 48 monthly ones. In testing.
5. Hybrid event mode. A new middle option for event generation, between Classic and Dynamic. In testing.
6. Custom character enhancements. Six new religions (Mormon, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Orthodox Christian, Sikh). New congressional composition picker. New custom start dates: 1961, 1965, 1969, 2001, 2005, 2009, and 2013.
7. Sixties war events. 120+ new war-specific events for the sixties era.
8. Bug fix: fiscal surplus display.
9. Bug fix: Supreme Court review scope.
10. As always, there will be bugs. If you find any, flag them in the Discord.
CHANGELOG — 02/04/26 · v1.4.0 Alpha
1. Congress. The House of Representatives and the Senate now exist as full systems with individual seats. Congressional elections run on their own cycle — you can win the presidency and still lose Congress, or claw back seats in a midterm while your approval tanks. Your legislative power depends on who controls the chambers.
2. Supreme Court. Justices now sit on the bench with their own ideology, conviction, and intelligence scores. When one dies or retires, you pick the replacement from a generated pool and send them through Senate confirmation. Feeling bold? Expand the court and pack it. (Justice stats were estimated by ChatGPT, for what that's worth.)
3. Executive Cabinet. Your cabinet members now have ideology, loyalty, and competency — and those numbers matter. A disloyal AG will slow-walk your policies. An incompetent Treasury Secretary will fumble your economic agenda. Premium players can build their cabinet from scratch or auto-generate one.
4. Checks & Balances overhaul. The old arbitrary percentage system is gone. Congress, the courts, and the executive branch now clearly pass, modify, or block your legislation based on the actual composition of each institution. You'll see exactly who killed your bill and why.
5. Institutions. The Fed Chair, FBI Director, and other institutional positions now have their own stats and affect how policy plays out. Unlike cabinet, these roles are harder to replace — firing the FBI Director costs real political capital.
6. Wikipedia generation overhauled to produce longer, more consistent articles. Re-submitting the same presidency should now give you less variation between runs.
7. Policy Guesser now has much stricter content filtering.
8. Flagship policies replaced with a presidential timeline — a running log of what your administration actually did, month by month.
9. Stakeholder opinion gains significantly slowed down. Winning over a group now takes sustained effort across many turns rather than a couple of well-placed policies.
10. As always, there will be bugs. If you find any, flag them in the Discord.
CHANGELOG — 31/03/26 · v1.3.3 Alpha
1. Policy Guesser is now live. Two real player-submitted policies appear — guess which one scored higher with the national voter map. Free for all players.
CHANGELOG — 29/03/26 · v1.3.2 Alpha
1. New premium mode: Tweeter. A full social media simulation that generates ~30 tweets per turn from voter personas, 24 political commentators (right/left/centrist), three in-game newspapers, and 60 anonymous accounts posting random internet noise.
2. Presidential tweeting. Post one tweet per month as @POTUS — personas, commentators, and anon accounts reply. Small approval effect. All tweets viewable on a dedicated profile page.
3. Direct messages. DM any of the 24 voter personas or 24 political commentators. Conversations persist across turns with full history. Unlimited messages.
4. Approval rating rebalanced. Should feel more realistic and grounded.
5. Congressional seat swings fixed. Landslide victories now produce proportional coattails instead of marginal gains.
6. Tweeter disabled for 1960s era scenarios. No social media in 1963.
CHANGELOG — 28/03/26 · v1.3.1 Alpha
1. Events have been partially overhauled. Events that are inconsistent with previous player decisions or current economic/social metrics should be much rarer. We plan to overhaul this entirely in the future, but it's much better for now.
2. Economy has been adjusted. Total debt replaces monthly deficit. Impact of policies on the economy should be more granular and realistic.
3. Elections have been partially overhauled. Personas will now remember policies they disliked for much longer, stakeholder groups now contribute to campaign finances, and approval is easier to lose than it is to gain.
4. Presidential traits have been partially overhauled for existing presidents and custom presidents. This will affect how the electorate reacts to you and your policies.
5. 6 new alternate history scenarios and a reorganisation of the starting scenario menu.
6. The 60s interface has received a face-lift — the old one was way too corporate.
7. Minor bug fixes mainly relating to maps and congressional composition not updating.
8. Character limit on policy inputs expanded to 1200.
