Civilization V fans have organized a Democraciv community on Reddit, through which they jointly manage the party in the game.
At the moment, Democraciv players play in Civilization V for England, and, as is the case in real democracy, some of them directly control the game process, and some argue about how to do it.
The Democraciv community consists of six political parties, which include real Reddit users. Among them are the Pirate Party, the National Democrats, and even the organization called the Space Communists.
The Democraciv government consists of three departments – legislative, judicial and executive. The first develops the laws that govern the process of the game itself, the second resolves the conflicts that arise between the participants, and the third directly plays in Civilization V.
The distribution of roles between Democraciv participants is tied to the game process. Among Reddit users there are mayors who decide how to develop cities, there are ministers responsible for trade and diplomacy, and there are generals who are responsible for moving troops on the map, but they have no ability to declare war on anyone.
The Democraciv Constitution, formed by the editors, has 28 pages of text, which affirms all basic rights and freedoms of users.
In order for all participants to monitor the game, the project uses the Twitch channel, but it does not always show the gameplay of Civilization V.
For example, on November 28, Twitch held a two-hour open debate involving dozens of users.
As Kotaku notes, the gamers are still well able to cope with their task. At the moment, elections are taking place in the project, and Democraciv-run England is waging a war with Siam.
