Perhaps a sequel, where you play a bumbling Vice President trying to negotiate a durable ceasefire and peace deal whilst your regional allies try to continuously torpedo your efforts..?

Again, only loosely inspired by current events.

Perhaps a next iteration would include a "Call the polling agencies 'fake news'" action card? Although I'd need to figure out whether using it would boost or reduce his approval ratings...

The variety of methods each agent tried was also interesting IMO - some going brute-force, others trying to methodically guess the next move. The nice thing about moving the game logic server-side is having some basic logs on how long each game attempt took, and some of the bots were incredibly easy to identify as they selected turns in under a second, while others were harder to spot since they seemed to be reasoning between turns.

Invading Kharg Island is definitely a one-time event, I think there may just be a copy bug in the game over screen where it indicates that the final action was done N times even if it's a one-time action. Will fix it!

Also the Press Shield + Fox News boosts alter the RNG probabilities with regards to the random events for negative press events and/or positive Fox News puff pieces.

Love this idea - if I were to extend it, I'd add some kind of analysis breaking down the % composition of pardons (fraud vs drug offences vs financial crime) by President to see if there's some common trend. I was a little surprised to see the Obama number quite so high, until it became apparent that the vast majority were drug offenders being pardoned
