Announcement

The next update in line will be dedicated to the political part of the game - presidential elections. Currently, the game has a parliament, laws, key state officials, but there is no president who can veto any federal law and form the executive power in the country. Without him, the US political system looks incomplete.

Join the discussion about what the president should do in the game and how he should influence the gameplay.

It will be interesting to read your vision and expectations from the next update, as well as to learn your opinion on the new type of companies - media. What could be improved or added?

Thank you all for your support!

Adding new updates to the greatly expanded functionality of the game often becomes an unpredictable task with many variables. Changes in one place entail refactoring in many other related parts. And sometimes it forces us to roll back and start literally from scratch...

Thank you for the greatest patience and understanding!

We continue our journey towards the full release of Plutocracy together with you!

Your support, as always, is our guiding light!

Until next time!
