POLITICAL PROFILES · SELECTABLE
Which handwill you govern with?
At the start of every run you choose your political profile: the liberal technocrat, the socialist populist or the conservative hawk. Your profile rewires how you gather resources, your starting reputation, press hostility and how much pressure you take before you break. Three ways of understanding Spain. Three ways of losing it.
COMPARE PROFILES
PROFILE 01 · LIBERALCHOOSE THIS PROFILE
The Technocrat
Numbers before noise. Open markets, cold management and a cabinet that runs like clockwork —as long as the street isn't watching. Effective, unpopular, and always one bad headline from the motion.

PROFILE 02 · SOCIALISTCHOOSE THIS PROFILE
The Populist
The narrative is the weapon. The square adores you today and buries you tomorrow. You govern the country's emotions live, eyes on the next poll, fist in the air.

PROFILE 03 · CONSERVATIVECHOOSE THIS PROFILE
The Hawk
Order above all. Defence, military command and operations nobody signs. You project force abroad and squeeze at home: stability today against a bill that lands deferred.

What people end up asking
No. It is a work of fiction: an alternate-history Spain with real geography and institutions but entirely fictional people, parties, events and politics. It does not represent or reconstruct anyone real.

// ANOTHER DUGOUT
If you like governing in the dark, you will love managing under the lights.
El Mister brings the same simulation obsession to professional football: 1,390 players across 42 clubs, live tactics, and a board already eyeing your replacement. A worthy heir to PC Fútbol. In development.
