Statecraft: Corrupted Democracy

WELCOME TO THE 70s. THE SUITS ARE SHARP, THE MORALS ARE CHEAP.

The country is on fire—literally. Economic collapse, street violence, and political gridlock. Some call it a tragedy. You call it an opportunity.

In Statecraft: Corrupted Democracy, you don't just run a political party; you run a crime syndicate with a legal face. Democracy is just a suggestion. Your goal isn't to fix the country, but to mold it into your personal playground.

VOTERS ARE RESOURCES, NOT PEOPLE

Tired of playing nice? Good. Politics is just a math problem.

Look at the demographics. Are there too many conservatives? Lie to them. Too many liberals? Scare them.

Demographic Manipulation: Use the detailed country data to find weak points in society.

Politicize the Apolitical: Convert neutral citizens into fanatical supporters.

Divide and Conquer: Pit groups against each other. If they are fighting each other, they can't fight you.

CONTROL THE NARRATIVE

Truth is whatever you print in tomorrow’s headline. Did you accidentally cause a famine? No, you "implemented a diet program."

When a crisis hits, spin the story. Use the newspaper system to turn disasters into victories and paint your rivals as the villains.

THE BALLOT OR THE BULLET

Did you lose the elections? Don’t worry. Losing is for honest people.

If the ballot box fails, you have other options. Trigger a civil war, invite the military for a coup, or watch the country burn while you grab the crown from the ashes.

Dirty Diplomacy: Form alliances with radical groups or shadow organizations.

Start a Revolution: If you can't rule the system, burn it down.

Change the Regime: Democracy is dead. Would a Socialist Dictatorship or a Theocracy suit you better?

EXPAND YOUR BORDERS

Have you finally taken over the country? Why stop there?

Your neighbors look weak. Declare war, redraw the map, and turn your domestic tyranny into an international empire.
