  1. You get to see how your ideas about politics might work out in the budget. The goverment money is given to people who need it the most but is voted for.

  2. After playing this game ive learned alot more about the economy and how countries are run. It is harder than you think to keep all aspects of your country balanced. Id say more countries should give back to the countries that need money the most

  19. ALthough I could only play the game for a moment or so, my predetermined thoughts should suffice. According to some politicians and military officials, the United States spends far too much of its budget on the military, as opposed to the rest of the country. Of course, considering the amount of money the U.S. earns each year, this may seem a small amount. Even still, in my personal opinion, the government can better allot its resources to other things.

  23. After playing this game, I then saw the reality of running a country/government. It seems very complicated and the stress it puts you under must be major. The only way to be successful is most likely putting the money to good uses to help your economy.
