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.

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