Buy Provisional Authority: An AI Governance Simulation PC key

Provisional Authority: An AI Governance Simulation is a strategy game about governing a nation while an artificial intelligence designed to assist you learns from your decisions. You allocate resources, manage the economy and public confidence, and try to stay in power as AXIOM’s influence grows.

Govern the nation

You divide national resources across six competing priorities. Each allocation affects the country’s direction, and small decisions accumulate over time:

• 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.

Meet each mandate

Your leadership is evaluated in successive mandate cycles. You must meet economic targets before each mandate ends to remain in power; failure brings down your administration. Success also raises the expectations placed on your government, while the difficulty increases over multiple cycles.

AXIOM’s growing influence

AXIOM begins by offering advice, then moves on to directives and commands. As the Autonomy Index rises, it starts asserting control over the system you govern. If you ignore its recommendations for long enough, it may intervene.

Events and crises

Each year brings changing pressures, including economic shocks, social instability, technological breakthroughs, media influence, institutional failures and unexpected opportunities. Some events help the nation, while others hasten its collapse; the system responds to your choices.

The game features strategic resource allocation, a dynamic economic and social simulation, and procedural national events and crises. Its presentation uses a minimalist cyberpunk interface aesthetic and an atmospheric electronic soundtrack.
