Other inaccuracies relate to the religion. For example, the Finnish are inaccurately portrayed as being culturally Scandinavian, all Finnish have Swedish names when Swedish speakers only constitute 5.5% of the population. There are also inaccuracies relating to nations in the game, as many nations are misrepresented. There is also no distinction in the game between any upper and lower houses of the parliament.
In many states there is a distinction between the Head of Government and the Head of State, with the Head of State often being a ceremonial president or monarch. The game refers to the position of chief executive as 'Head of State' which is not true for all states-for example, the President of the United States is the Head of State, but the British Prime Minister or German Chancellor are not-and in the game, the player plays as the chief executive. Unlike in the Democracy series the player may amend the constitution of their chosen state and run it as a dictatorship. Similarly to other government simulation games like Democracy, the player assumes the role of the chief executive of their chosen nation such as the President of the United States of America or the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
When starting a new game, players may choose between various scenarios, some of which have set objectives while others are more akin to a 'sandbox' mode.
