There's this really cool quasi-educational game called nation states. www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgiThe idea is that you answer these questions about your politics and such and it spins up what kind of governemntal system, economy, and environment you have in addition to social and civil rights. Every day you get an issue to decide on, and what you choose ends up affecting your country. At first it affects your country in ways you wouldn't predict. ("I said that America's youth could benefit from a year in the military- not that military service was campulsary!" But, as in any game, you detect patterns and manipulate it to be whatever you want over time, whether you want to be a Father Knows Best State, a Capitalist Bordello, or a Left Leaning College State. Anyone play there? I have three different countries going. One that reflects what I would do if I ran a country (currently an Inoffensive Centrist Democracy), one is run on a strict policy of power to the people (A Left Wing Utopia), and one run as evillly as possible. When I'm making decisions on that third country, I can barely contain myself from cackling malevolently.

You can only attack and be attacked in rpg threads, it would probably get too band-width eating otherwise.
You can however build it up and watch it fall apart, although the country never actually dies and you never actually lose control of it, even if it becomes an anarchy.
Democratic socialist, 'eh? *coughcommiecough*
