Democracy 4 - Voting Systems

Frustrated that your voters seem too influenced by corporate donations? Eager to lower the minimum voting age? Perhaps you would like to ban election robo-calls, or maybe go the other direction and make corporate party donations unlimited? All your voting and campaign problems are solved with this DLC!

Only part of winning an election is really about running the country well. Democracy 4 - Voting Systems introduces a whole bunch of new policies that let you decide who can vote, how they vote, and how easy it is for big money to swing an election. This expansion pack includes the following policies:

And also with this expansion, you get to choose a single metric to focus your election campaign on (such as the economy, or crime...), and can decide whether to run an honest, optimistic campaign, or risk looking untrustworthy by running a brutal, cynical campaign full of personal attack ads focusing on your opponent.

You can also change your country electoral system from 'first-past-the-post' to proportional representation, or maybe do the opposite! plus a new polling option lets you see the difference between the opinions of the electorate as a whole, and those who are considered 'likely voters'. Unleash your inner campaign manager, and start playing with the election rules immediately. Otherwise you may have to win an election fairly!

Democracy 4 - Country Pack

This expansion adds six new countries to the game for you to govern:

Each country has its own challenges and problems to deal with! How will you choose to run the wealthy direct-democracy of politically neutral Switzerland? Will you be able to convert coal-loving Poland to an environmental paradise? Can you lift everyone out of poverty in the favelas of Brazil? And will your attempts at a secular society gain acceptance in Catholic Ireland? Can the republic of Ireland maintain a viable economy without a famously low rate of corporation tax?

Have fun experimenting with whatever political ideology you choose to impose upon the people of these six new countries. Remember that this is Democracy, you need to take the people with you on your political journey!

Democracy 4 - Event Pack

This expansion adds 45 new events to the game. Some of the new events act as warning signals. Maybe your push for more technology is going to lead to sudden unemployment as AI replaces jobs? Is pollution is now so bad that schools are warning children not to play outside? A famous celebrity getting car-jacked in broad daylight is a sign that crime is out of control! Other events may shake things up when you thought they were under control, such a sinking oil tanker, a collapse of the power grid or staggeringly cold winters. If you are fortunate, some random events may change your country for the better, such as a super-productive harvest, medical breakthrough or a breakthrough in trade talks.

Give Democracy 4 a boost with these extra events to liven up the game. Will you still be able to maintain control of the country, and command the respect of the voters? or will your term in office be derailed by the tragic course of events!
