Description:

Berringsland is a government simulation, players take on the role of a
politican, newspaper editor or pressure group leader and must battle in
Parliament, at the ballot box and over the airwaves to put forward their
ideas for improving the nation and put these ideas into action.  The
direction the game and the country takes will be in your hands as a
player, God and the electorate willing!  We look forward to seeing you
soon!

From the game introduction:

"The nation of Berringsland has been shook to its foundations by one of
the most dramatic changes in its history. After months of bloody fighting
the National Party regime has been overthrown by the forces of the
December Revolutionaries, and years of dictatorship has been brought to an
end. However this is not the end of Berringsland�s difficulties, likely it
is only the beginning; counter-revolutionary groups cling on and wage a
guerrilla war from the wilds of the North and the urban jungles of the
inner cities, the economy has been devastated and much essential
infrastructure lies in ruins. After years of repression and stagnation the
populace is crying out for change and becomes ever more frustrated with
continuing hardships.

Out of the chaos that ensued the revolution stepped Reginald .C.
Fitzwilliam, the one time Governor-General of Berringsland, although one
who has spent most of his career in exile in New Zealand. Together with
the leaders of the revolution and the People�s Army he has thrown
Berringsland a lifeline, a last chance to win peace, order and good
government. A Provisional Assembly, due to meet in the quiet backwater
town of Madaline, will be made of delegates from across the land, mandated
to steer the nation back towards its rightful path."
