In this expansion, the rules, processes and winning conditions will be very similar to previous games. At the start of the game, the player will select the country and representing party they want to play with. Different political parties offer bonuses to different demographics. The player will be elected as president and be forced to deal with issues which can include corruption, brain drain, debt, or the unhappiness of a particular demographic. They must try to use their political power to solve these problems and improve the country with their cabinet's officials. Later, the player will run for reelection. If they are reelected, the game will continue. On the other hand, if player becomes unpopular within the term of office, they will not be reelected. If their policies were too extreme, player can be assassinated. The winning condition of this game would be for the player to be reelected until it is no longer possible. Of course, players will higher goals can raise the difficulty level and attempt to eliminate all domestic problems.
There are some slight differences between the Africa expansion and previously released games. In previous games, playable nations consist of Western democratic nations such as the US, Canada, France, Australia and Great Britain. In the Africa expansion , the player can choose between ten democratic nations, inlcuding: Tunisia, Egypt, Ghana, South Africa, and Kenya. Although all the countries are located in Africa, they all have different demographics, resources and problems. African nations are known for having more problems and less resources than Western nations. For some countries, even having clean water can be an issue. Therefore playing as African nations will be more challenging.
Țările africane joacă în democrație 3: Africa și o parte din statisticile lor
Situatie de președinte nigerian se confruntă cu prima zi în funcție. Președintele se confruntă cu probleme sociale masive, cu o popularitate foarte scăzută
Notă: pictogramele roșii ca probleme, pictogramele albastre ca politici active, pictogramele albe sunt punct de pornire care poate fi ajustat ca rata de impozitare și vârsta de alcool, iar icoanele verzi sunt avantaje.
În ansamblu, democrația este jocul de a urmări ceea ce oamenii doresc în loc să creeze și să desființeze politicile pe care jucătorul le consideră a fi benefice pentru națiunea lor. Găsirea unui echilibru între politicile care sunt populare și benefice este cheia de a "face din nou țara din nou".
