Note: Although this article was previously subject to AfD that reached no consensus, the article has been entirely rewritten since that time. There were good objections to the old article that were raised during the AfD, but the original reasons for the AfD are no longer valid. At the time of the last nomination, the article looked like this.
I archived the talk page in order to remove redundant and pointless discussions made during the first two quarters of 2006. Trust me when I say it says nothing interesting: it's basically quarrel over which games should be included, how much, and a lot of WP:POINTs. Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 02:47, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Well, even though my AfD failed to reach a consensus, it's quite clear that it needs a LOT of improvement. I took the first steps. Requests for references have now been put into the article after virtually EVERY sentence, and even though I've looked I haven't found any source that would pass WP:RS. If it remains in this state for too long; I will simply nominate it again. Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 02:47, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
...To possibly generate some further interest in improving the article.
Why are the 80soft (www.80soft.com) games missing? They're by far the single biggest publisher (in number of titles) of political sims, but they are not even mentioned in the article. While dumbed-down crap like the Political Machine, is.
You can also add Hidden Agenda, a freeware game from the mid 90s which was a big influence to the list.
Would the game Call of Duty 4 work on this page, seeing as it is about a radical political movement shown through a militaristic view? ABK20062 (talk) 12:57, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

This article should probably discuss the fairly recent emergence of online nation simulation games like NationStates and CyberNations. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.248.222.34 (talk) 18:59, 30 March 2007 (UTC).
Some images need source, as soon as that is addresed I will gladly pass it. -凶 14:51, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Images in article has been sourced, article has passed Good Article nomination and has been listed as such.-凶 23:39, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
There seems to be much overlap between this genre and Grand strategy game (especially the categories). I am wondering if it would be appropriate to merge that article (or category) with this one. SharkD 20:18, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

It was a brief mention of the subject that this article already covered in more detail. You might want to check that article's previous state to see if there's something this one could use. --Kizor (talk) 17:13, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
I visited this page looking for info on online forum games like 'Superpower 2' and 'Nations'. There used to be a page just for them, but 'nationsim' now just redirects here. What has happened?? Urpunkt (talk) 13:04, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
WHEN Ars Regendi gets removed haphazardly then OTHER external links to less important games HAVE to get removed too! Malone70 (talk) 09:31, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
This section (can be seen here[1]) is not a list of competitions. It just covers one (competition? Wargame?) and quotes the add copy from its website (reads like one big long advertisement). Is this notable? Anyone care to add a version that is not promotional with third party references? Noaccountaccount (talk) 17:42, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
"the SimCity series of games developed and published by Maxis simulates the experience of being a mayor"
Yeah, right. More like a city planner slash business baron. DAVilla (talk) 05:29, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
Other genres have this section. 194.146.217.38 (talk) 09:34, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
Link to Grand Strategy games list was removed, some games listed in examples are listed in that link.
Do Sid Meier's Civilization games count as political simulation? There is a lot of diplomacy and some city planning. Compassionate727 (talk) 12:30, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

There is nothing about Geopolitical Simulator series by Eversim, although complexity of it is very high.
Can be Realpolitiks by Jujube mentioned here? Its very stramlined, in fact its bit arcadeish. 37.8.231.182 (talk) 14:02, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
There is a game called particracy classic ,i think it is popular enought to add.If this is not popular enough,it should be more popular since Wouter Lievens(its single developer and founder) is developing new ,better version called simply Particracy . Personally i can't wait for federalism and multiple worlds! — Preceding unsigned comment added by FutureImperatorofEntireWorld (talk • contribs) 19:14, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
