Nice. Was waiting for that :).

Might be worth noting that the DLC for Democracy 3 should also work with Africa, at least according to the F.A.Q. on the official website.

Yup, I was gonna say this sounded pretty much like every other democracy on the planet ^^

Ask nelson mandela, robert mugabe.....

Highly doubt Mugabe is an example you're looking for.

That said, stumbled into this:

"The Economist Intelligence Unit’s democracy index identifies four categories of regime: full democracy, flawed democracy, hybrid and authoritarian. Its 2015 index shows uneven progress in sub-Saharan Africa, but notes a dramatic drop in successful “coups from within” since 2000, and says holding regular elections is now largely commonplace. Even so, the index only awarded full democracy status to Mauritius, a quiet achiever with strong rule of law.

Some countries defy the narrative of a democratic deficit in Africa, however. In its 2016 Freedom in the World report, Freedom House named Nigeria, Liberia and Ivory Coast among the countries with the biggest improvements in political rights and civil liberties. In Nigeria, 2015 was the first year an opposition party gained power through elections. Botswana, Ghana, Cape Verde and Benin have also been lauded as democratic examples.

[...]

Africa is about more than this club of big men. Aside from the growing number of leaders passing power peacefully after elections, there have also been cases of public backlash against leaders who have tried to prolong their tenures, such as Zambia’s Frederick Chiluba and Malawi’s Bakili Muluzi. In 2014, Blaise Compaoré’s bid to extend his 27-year presidency in Burkina Faso was thwarted by a violent popular uprising, while upheaval in Burundi was sparked by President Pierre Nkurunziza’s successful bid to prolong his term.

Nor is leadership the sole preserve of men. In 2006, Liberia’s Ellen Johnson Sirleaf became Africa’s first democratically elected female head of state. She was followed by Joyce Banda in Malawi and Ameenah Gurib-Fakim in Mauritius.

[...]

The Ibrahim index of African governance, an annual assessment produced by the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, focuses on what happens between elections. It defines good governance as safety and rule of law, participation by citizens and a respect for human rights, sustainable economic opportunity, and human development.

Topping the 2015 index were Mauritius, Cape Verde and Botswana. Central African Republic, South Sudan and Somalia – all nations torn by conflict – were bottom.

[...]

While the elections in Africa that garner the most international attention are often those that turn violent, many more are peaceful. Voters in Central African Republic went to the polls in February hoping to end years of conflict, and the presidential run-off took place peacefully despite months of sectarian and ethnic violence, albeit with a lower turnout."

I'm guessing the average age of GOG'ers is prolly high enough that most will.

So you win by implementing Communism?

I am waiting for Democracy 3: Wadiya

I don't know why I expected better from GOG than Steam, but of course when I pop on to see the comments there are gross, ill-informed jokes. Great.

Anyway, on topic and not colonialist/racist as hell, I'm excited to see that the other DLC should be compatible with this release and I am definitely grabbing it! I'm disappointed it's not on Linux yet, but I assume that's just a "yet" and I'll hold off until then, but I'm pumped to have new nations and I'm glad the continent they started with was Africa! I hope to see more nations (and more continents!) covered soon! Love this series, it's a great game to play whether I'm strapped for time or have too much of it, lets me think a lot about decisions if I need to but lends itself towards quicker and messier playthroughs that are just as revealing as thinking hard. The consequences of both well thought-out and quirk of the moment style gameplay are always interesting to see, and I'm really happy I'm going to get new sets of intra/interrelational conditions to play a complex game of dominoes with. Kudos to the devs and kudos to GOG (altho, again, the core game and every other DLC are available in linux so whichever end is dropping the ball on that, get moving!)

The dev's end. There is currently no Linux build for Democracy 3: Africa on Steam or the developer's website, either.

Why nuketakuler's garbage " review " was not deleted yet ?

Because we have enough democratic propaganda.

is it about boko haram or al shabaab? genocide an exterminations of whole non-islamized villages and towns? chopping of child's limbs?

no. i want to forget that such lostland even exists and am never going to run this idealized dungware. im sorry.

+1's for both of you. Thank you for taking the time to research this information about Africa, and for the thoughtful and interesting posts, much appreciated. :-)

Heh... so right! :D

I totally did not get it.

Was Oz shot in Africa?
