Author: Alex Zhevzhik

Today the Internet is a quickly developing, dynamic structure which is constantly filled with new content. As the Internet users are mainly young people, resources which they visit are mostly are entertaining. Various communities, thematic game, video and musical servers et cetera can play a part of such resources. The market of Internet games broadens constantly, for this reason it was chosen as a subject framework of my master’s work.

It is necessary for development of popular and actual Internet resource, that it was on principle new, unusual, important and interesting for visitors. By virtue of such requirements political life of society got in the area of attention, that resulted in the origin of idea of creation of political multiplayer browser online-game, essence of which is advancement of the character in the higher structures of power: President, Supreme Soviet, Minister Cabinet. A player can play for different roles by different methods.

A purpose is creation of complete simulation of the Ukrainian political model and introduction of her in Ukrainian Internet community. A game will be indissolubly related to the real political life, that players will constantly participate in a political process and thus to form independent alternative opinion. In addition, in a game there will be an own with a plot line, related to untwisting of character, consisting in the increase of all descriptions of character, for what players must constantly participate in dialogs on informative grounds.

Actuality of project consists of on principle new possibility of reflection of politics, as he is torn off from the state and standard mechanisms of correcting of information. Possibility to conduct statistics, conduct alternative polls and elections appears, without expenses from the budget of country. That’s why Ukrainian Internet association is got by a new social project, at participating in which they can get certain experience in a politics, journalism and oratorical art. A project will be extraordinarily useful to the students, studying political science in Institutes of higher education of Ukraine, and also for people, intending to engage in the real political activity. The specific of subject of game is such that helps to develop qualities of leaders, eloquence, thought, and ability quickly to find answers to the non-standard questions.

The search of similar projects in the Ukrainian Internet showed out me on a resource which was created on the wave of «orange revolution» in 2004 year. A project «Purchase a president» () is a political exchange stock in which it is offered to the players (to the brokers) for a virtual money to purchase the brief-case of actions of some politician, and then it is more dear to sell him. The final cost of actions was determined percent correlation of voices on elections. Thus, the purpose of players is as possible more exact prediction of results of elections, in order that their actions brought in them return. the lack of such game consists in that it is short-term. A project is closed now.

In the Russian Internet a game «Republic.ru» is started from 2002 year. It is the independent virtual world with own economic, financial, political laws, subjects and structures, and also own press. A game is characterized large complication, a novice is heavy to understand a playing process, but I consider the main failing is isolation from the real political situation in a Russian Federation. Actually, this project is a valuable game, instead of social project which must be oriented to the real situation in a country and necessity of players.

Project «Virtonomika.ru » (http://virtonomika.ru) - is economic on-line-game of new generation. Within the framework of this game a user can execute different actions within the bounds of virtual city. A player can create a company, open a shop or network of shops, collect the state, engaged in commerce, invest other players and accumulate a property virtual asset. Consisting of game settles accounts just once in days. This project came into notice that it is more specified, but also torn off from the real life.

Game the «Virtual city» ( http://vir-city.ru ) is positioned as a political economic game, but now it has a few users and it develops slowly. The habitants of this city can work, buy the real estate, put in money, becomes power in town et cetera. Such factors, as health, mood, attitude toward power, education, offences, are thus taken into account. A game interesting enough on the whole, but I can in a small degree possible name it political and again it is fully isolated.
