[3] Suzerain
A text heavy RPG/VN thing where you play as the president of the world's most troubled country (very loosely modeled on Turkey) during the height of the Cold War. You have to deal with an economic recession, budgetary committees, backroom deals, crazy ideologues in congress, infighting in your cabinet, a questionably loyal military, an obstructionist supreme court, corrupt offers from oligarchs, ethnic tensions (which may turn into sectarian violence), a migrant crisis, rural underdevelopment, Communists and Fascists duking it out on the street, international diplomacy, a looming war, and of course your reelection campaign (unless, of course, you aim for a dictatorship run). All that while you have a somewhat troubled home life to deal with.
This game unironically changed my views on politics and ideology. It really makes you realize how hard running a country really is, and how there's always opportunity costs to every decision. It's also bursting at the seams with content. There are so many ways in which you can take Sordland, and literally every decision you make has (often ambiguous) consequences. If you really want to, you can try and push your country towards a liberal democracy, or a Communist state, or an ultranationalist Fascist takeover, or install yourself as dictator for life, but you will be facing resistance and will be forced to make compromises no matter which path you choose.
Really just a great game that I wish every Paradox fanboy who thinks he understands geopolitics would try to play.
