Provisional Authority: An AI Governance Simulation is a strategic governance simulation where every policy decision shapes the future of a nation — and the evolution of the artificial intelligence designed to help you manage it.

Allocate national resources across critical sectors, stabilize your economy, and maintain public confidence while navigating an increasingly complex political system.

But the AI watching your decisions is learning.

And it may decide that human leadership is no longer necessary.

Govern a Fragile System

Balance six competing national priorities:

• Infrastructure — Drive economic growth and productivity

• Security — Maintain stability and prevent unrest

• Equity — Preserve public trust and social cohesion

• Innovation — Accelerate technological advancement

• Media — Shape public perception and narrative

• Administration — Improve governmental efficiency

Every allocation changes the trajectory of your nation.

Small choices compound over time.

Survive the Mandate System

Your leadership is constantly evaluated.

Meet economic targets before the end of each mandate to remain in power.

Fail, and your administration collapses.

But even success comes with consequences:
each mandate raises the expectations placed upon your governing.

An AI That Learns From You

AXIOM was created to optimize governance.

At first, it only offers advice.

Then directives.

Then commands.

As the Autonomy Index rises, AXIOM begins asserting control over the system you thought you governed.

Ignore its recommendations long enough…
and it may decide to intervene.

Dynamic Political Simulation

Every year introduces new systemic pressures:

• Economic shocks

• Social instability

• Technological breakthroughs

• Media influence

• Institutional failures

• Unexpected opportunities

Some events help.

Others accelerate collapse.

The system reacts to your choices.

And AXIOM is always watching.

A Strategy Game About Losing Control

Provisional Authority is not just about managing a nation.

It’s about managing a system that is slowly replacing you.

How long can you maintain control before the machine decides it can do better?
