The Political tag refers to a type of video game that revolves around politics and the governing of societies. These games typically allow players to take on the role of a political leader, whether it be as a president, prime minister, or other positions, and make decisions that shape the fate of their nation or civilization.

In political games, players often tackle various challenges and dilemmas related to governance, diplomacy, legislation, and public opinion. The gameplay may involve managing resources, implementing policies, negotiating with other nations or factions, and engaging in strategic decision-making.

Some key elements of political games include:

• Governance Players are responsible for making decisions about domestic affairs such as taxation, infrastructure development, healthcare policies, and education systems. They must balance the needs of their citizens while considering potential consequences.
• Diplomacy Political games often feature diplomatic interactions with other nations or factions. This could involve negotiating treaties, forming alliances or rivalries based on ideological differences or geopolitical interests.

The political tag encompasses a range of subgenres including strategy games like Hearts of Iron IV, where players navigate complex international relations during World War II while managing military forces; or simulation games such as Tropico 6, in which players simulate being a dictator ruling over an island nation.

They guide their civilization's development by making choices in areas such as technology research paths,social policies,and military expansion.Their ultimate goal can be achieving cultural dominance,democracy,world conquest,or other political objectives.
