Political or government simulation games?

So I'm looking for a good political simulation game in the ilk of Democracy. I'm looking into Rulers of Nations but I'm seeing some reviews saying that the interface is very poor. On the other hand, the reviews are also saying it's extremely deep, so that's something that draws me in. But it's $39.99 and I really don't want to waste my money on something that I'm not fully sold on.

Any suggestions, Reddit?
