Synopsis

A Game of Government Management is a financial management game that gives you the chance to be the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the United Kingdom in the 1980s. Starting in 1984 with real economy figures from 1982/83, you must try to survive in power for as long as possible while trying to keep the books in balance and earn more money for the country without disturbing too many people. Your first screen shows you the government's balance sheet with the numbers balanced and over the next year you will attempt to keep it balanced. During your first year you will be presented with different screens and these will show you statistics for various sectors or others will ask you various questions about adjusting figures such as the minimum loan rate or the percentage of salary increases for various sectors. Other sectors or departments where you will have to juggle the numbers include investments, industrial tax, financing, foreign aid and industrial subsidies. You will also have a cabinet meeting which will ask you about various incidents happening at the time. Once you complete your first year, you will be shown different graphs and given a performance rating. Then it's 1985 and hopefully many years after that.
