NationStates
There's this online 'game' where you can be the ruler of your own government, and see how your decisions affect the country. It's almost a utpoia because nations can't really 'war' among themselves. It's called NationStates.
However, you do get a few issues per day that you can either address, or dismiss as you please. Each action will help 'shape' your nation, or rather, the description of your country.
For fun, I joined up with some other friends on this again (I forgot/lost my old account from 2 yrs ago). My country is the Holy Republic of Number 8:
The Holy Republic of Number 8 is a small, devout nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 18 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 24%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.
The nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, nudity is frowned upon, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Number 8's national animal is the budweiser, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the jr.
Number 8 is ranked 15th in the region and 115,814th in the world for Healthiest Nations.
