a similar but smaller policy based simulation game:
You are the government leader of a nation and a new pandemic is starting.
The science is not clear yet. How do you manage as the leader? What policies do you set up? What research do you pursue? Along with variables of budgets, economy, population morale, upcoming elections, travel, etc.
If there was a good model of how the policies affect economy especially, it would reveal to the players how hard lock-downs are on the economy.
If the dynamic between the federal state and city governments are modeled, it would show us how actual policy implementation happens. Just even how hard it is to test and track the spread of a pandemic.
This could indicate to people how hard it is to lead in such a situation. At the same time help the player evaluate how things were handled recently.
