The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“You've played one of the Democracy games, right? This is kind of like that, except applied to a nation-builder, and designed by a team with a shallower grasp of the subject matter. Things don't quite link up in the way you'd expect…”
“This game has a weird jingoist nationalistic perspective on history permeating throughout all of it's systems that really rubbed me the wrong way.”
