: Almost every aspect of governance—from tax rates to workers' rights and military spending—is controlled via sliders that have "inertia effects," taking up to two years to reach full impact.
: The game now displays previously hidden effects, specifically showing policy outputs that directly affect a policy's cost or income.

While praised for its educational value and depth, critics often note that the UI and graphics are "rudo" (crude) or "outdated". Let's Play Democracy 2 - Part 1/6
