Frequently Asked Questions about President Simulator
What is President Simulator?
President Simulator is a free political career game you play in the browser. You start as a city council member, then run for mayor, governor and finally president. Every quarter brings decision cards on the budget, the economy, healthcare, schools, the environment and security, plus strikes, scandals, disasters and foreign incidents. Win elections to open the next office. There is no download and no account.
How do elections work?
At the end of each term you choose to run again, run for the next office or retire. A race has three campaign choices (ads, slogans, rallies), a three-round debate against a rival with a personality, and a poll bar. Your approval, party support, economy and stability set the poll, the campaign and debate move it, and election night adds a little luck.
What do the five stats mean?
Approval is how voters feel about you. Economy is jobs and growth, and it fills or drains the Treasury every quarter. Stability is calm streets and a working government. Party is your own party's support, which helps bills pass and wins races. If any stat hits zero your career ends, so balance them.
How do bills and the cabinet work?
Some cards are bills. Push a vote and the chamber counts yes and no votes, based on your party support and approval. As mayor, governor and president you also appoint a team: an Expert improves a stat every quarter, a Loyalist boosts party support and a Star lifts approval.
What are legacy goals?
Twelve goals carry across careers, such as Win 2 Terms, Balanced Budget, Approval 80% and Survive a Scandal. Each one unlocks a new starting background, a trait or a pack of new events. When a career ends, your politician endorses the next one with a party support bonus.
What is the Daily Crisis?
Once a day you face the same six-card crisis as every other player, as president with set starting stats. Your score is the total of your five stats at the end. Play every day to build a streak; a three-day streak unlocks the Steady Hand trait.
Is it based on a real country?
No. The cities, states, nations, rivals and the two parties, Unity and Progress, are all fictional. The game is about the choices, not real-world politics.
Does my career save?
Yes. The game saves your career, goals and hall of fame in this browser after every choice when local storage is available. Clearing browser data or private browsing can remove the save.
About President Simulator
President Simulator is a free online politics game about one career, told in chapters. You begin on a city council, then run for mayor, governor and president. Each office is a chapter with its own terms, cards and rivals, and only winning its election opens the next one. Every quarter you get two decision cards: budgets and tax cuts, clinics and schools, rivers and pipelines, police budgets and prisons, strikes, scandals, floods, wildfires, trade wars and border incidents. Each choice moves five stats, Approval, Economy, Treasury, Stability and Party, and if any of them hits zero your career is over.
Bills go to a vote, and the yes count depends on your party support and approval. From mayor up you appoint a team of experts, loyalists and stars. Each race is a short campaign, a three-round debate against a rival whose personality tells you how to beat them, and a poll bar that election night settles. Lose and you get one comeback run per career; win two terms as president and you leave office a legend.
Twelve legacy goals carry across careers and unlock new backgrounds, traits and event packs, and a daily crisis gives everyone the same six cards each day. The world is fictional, with two made-up parties, Unity and Progress, and no real politicians. Everything runs in your browser with no download and saves automatically.
