I have been having a lot of fun over the past few weeks with NationStates, which is a very simple to use on-line game (none of your multi-online-super-role-playing, my-nob-wizard-beats-your-death-ork nonsense mind). It’s basically a text based game where you control your fictitious nation and guide it through amending government policy, generally with extreme, unexpected and gently humorous results. You get a new theoretical scenario each day which shapes the way your nation works out.
Check out the status of my nation, Bedlamania, with its rather worrying lack of any legislative controls at all, apparently serious crime and gambling problems, also suffering from massive deforestation (none of which I intended, honest, I was just trying to be nice).
For the megalomaniac in all of us, but without any kind of major social or political repercussions.
Update:
And could today’s scenario be more appropriate to the timing of this post:

Ranked "27,900th in the world for Rudest Citizens", sounds about right for your own nation mate, just ask Chelmsford bar maids!!! ;o)
... and 978th in the region!
So did you keep the Greenbelt Green?!
Nah, I scrapped it in favour of tacky amusement arcades, strip malls and monotonous housing estates.
Probably a good job you dont work in policy then mate!!
