Early Access Review
For an early access game, it's fairly in depth. Runs very smooth too. After a good few hours of playing the only downside personally would be that it doesn't feel too much like you influence the politics and the political world around you, nor are there many consequences for poor policy decisions, or inconsistency in policy choice. It just doesn't feel too much like my actions influence the world around me.

I'd recommend a few things too make this a better experience going forward. First would be more dynamic politicians, from my time of playing, and watching other politicians it seems like most of there careers end up very short, especially after only losing a single election. It'd be great too start the game in an area and see politicians rise to local fame, and maybe fall into obscurity with the changing tides. This ties into my second recommendation, which is a less stagnate political point system. Right now, you can only increase in political points. I'd be interesting if it was a more dynamic figure matching ups and downs of not only your political career but the political career of others around you. I'd think this would be a good start for a more dynamic world. A more dynamic and fluctuating system of political power and influence might allow in the future a good standpoint for third parties, and independents. And could give the player a more difficult but interesting career as a tiny third party or independent slowly influencing the political space around them, possibly becoming locally relevant, and then maybe nationally relevant! Or just playing as a Democrat in a Republican state and county and shifting them over time blue and vise versa.

Overall this is a great experience of a game, I can't wait too see have it develops and changes over time!
