Positech Games has announced that its PC hardcore political simulation and strategy game Democracy 3 will be coming to iPad.

In case the name Positech Games doesn't ring a bell, you may remember its previous space-themed strategy title Gratuitous Space Battles on the iPad.

Democracy 3 puts you in the position of president or prime minister. You attempt to keep your country happy, while dealing with larger geopolitical issues at the same time.

The game specifically deals with managing Western industrialised countries, so your main concerns include crime, unemployment, national debt, terrorism, climate change, and a whole bunch more.

"I have not been a huge evangelist for the income-generating potential of the iPad, but I have had such commercial success with [Democracy 3], and it's such a touchscreen-friendly GUI, that I have taken the decision to give it a go," developer Cliff Harris writes on the Positech blog.

"There are not enough thoughtful deep strategy games on tablets, so I'm hoping to find a niche there."
