Start as a nobody. Earn a country.
Bananacracy is a persistent, satirical political life sim that runs entirely in your browser. Be a shopkeeper, a healthcare worker, a teacher, a factory worker, a transport worker, or a journalist — or climb the political ladder: win a seat, reach Parliament, join the cabinet, even run for the premiership. Anyone can bend the rules too — dabble in crime, and risk the police. Every player on a server shares one country — the same elections, the same laws — alongside hundreds to thousands of AI citizens who keep the world running while you're away. At season's end, the most remembered names enter the Hall of Fame.
Live a life.
- • Pick a profession — each reacts differently to every policy.
- • Every tick pays your wages, charges your rent, and runs the market.
- • Vote, sign petitions, or become a journalist and break scandals.
- • 5-15 minutes/day is plenty. More if you want to follow politics closely.
Run for office.
- • Council chair → town mayor → regional governor → national parliament (50 MPs) and cabinet.
- • Campaign across your village, town, or region — citizens (players and AI alike) remember your promises.
- • Propose laws. Watch the economy move. Face re-election on the results.
- • 20-60 minutes/day if you want the top job.
The tick
Each tick — and your server sets the pace, from once a day on Alpha to four times a day on Beta — the country advances: wages paid, taxes collected, budgets spent, laws applied, elections resolved, news generated. Between ticks, it's all people — chat, speeches, articles, deals, betrayals, the usual.
The rules we will never break
- • No ads.
- • No pay-to-win. Paying never makes your vote count more.
- • No real-world political content. This is a fictional country.
- • No loot boxes, no artificial scarcity, no FOMO pressure.
