Advocacy - an IFDB Poll

I'm interested in games that advocate a political, economic, social, or personal choice with the intention to influence the public, e.g. players of the game, towards that choice.

If you make a comment for the game you can reveal what the game advocates and/or how it advocates it - what part of the game is advocacy?

The plan also includes two constitutional amendments: the term limit for the president is lengthened to 8 years, and the executive branch is given more power."" ( - Full review) --deathbytroggles...
