 Government simulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Government simulations deal with existing nations (such as the modern day United States, United Kingdom or Canada), rather than fantasy countries (e.g., New Acadia) or even historical nations (e.g., The Roman Empire).
They differ from nation simulators in that they simulate a single nation rather than a group of nations or the entire world.
Government simulations may also simulate an international organization such as the United Nations or one or more domestic organizations such as political parties.

 Essential Techniques for Military Modeling and Simulation - WSC98
Virtual training simulations are those in which the trainee is immersed in a virtual world where physical actions such as driving a vehicle or firing a weapon have a direct visible on the synthetic world they are in.
The HLA defines: 1) rules for simulation interaction and for the behavior of a family of simulations; 2) Object Model Templates for expressing the military systems and activities that are represented in any simulation system; and 3) an interface specification to support interoperability between multiple simulations.
Though a military simulation is a complete system fitted for use in a larger world, the core of the system are the models which represent the existence and activities of the real world.

 Government
Oligarchies are governments where political power is held by a small group of individuals who share similar interests with each other.
Democracies are governments where the people as a whole - not just some of them - hold political power.
Thus, it is argued that governments exist to enforce the will of the strong and oppress the weak, maintaining and protecting class antagonisms.

 RFA-HS-06-030: Improving Patient Safety through Simulation Research
Medical simulations represent limited aspects of the clinical environment and allow health care practitioners or teams to learn about the consequences of their actions as they are exposed to the same realistic problems and demands for skilled performance, as they would be in actual practice.
Simulations can be programmed to provide training on patient complications and equipment malfunctions that occur infrequently in practice, but that require decisive action and skilled performance when they do occur.
The applicant must describe the proposed simulation, including: the issues addressed by the simulation, identification of the setting of care where the simulation will be conducted, the health professional groups involved in the simulation, and the anticipated patient population impacted by the simulation.

 ICONS West: INMP Scenario Introduction
The simulation is conducted on two levels simultaneously: deliberations within teams to establish country positions, and negotiations across teams to seek agreement on individual issues.
That is, unless changes are specifically noted during the simulation, all government leaders currently in power remain in place and no international incidents or developments not emerging from the simulated negotiations occur.
These negotiations might be government to government, NGO to NGO, NGO to government, or country to organization, depending on the country and the issue addressed.

 American Government Simulation
simulations create an active learning experience, and are appropriate for political science or government classes, continuing education courses, civic education conferences, community organizations or elder hostel.
macro simulation is best suited to survey courses or conferences (15-75 participants) where you wish to be more comprehensive, have plenty of interaction between branches, plus have the possibility of up to 12 sessions.
The micro simulations are best suited to upper level or highly specialized classes or focused introductory courses with generally smaller enrollments (most are in the 4-16 range) and can be accomplished in fewer sessions.

 Nation-simulation game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The government involved may be a local or national government.
Nation-simulation games which simulate the world or a group of nations are commonly called geo-political simulators.
Nation-simulation games are the only form of simulation game in which the computer-assisted variety is more common than either the tabletop or computer variety.

 PLSC 112 American Government
I will say much more about the simulation as the term unfolds; for right now, be aware that learning and succeeding during this part of the course will require activity and initiative from you, but will also be more fun and exciting than you might expect (trust me!).
During the simulation, I will send material out to you between classes, and will expect you to be able to read it before the next class meeting.
All simulation activities (see below) will be worth a total of 135 points, for a grand total of 400 possible points, Any extra points you earn (such as from extra-credit assignments) will be added to your total.

 National Budget Simulation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
This simple simulation should give you a better feel of the trade-offs which policy makers need to make in creating federal budgets and dealing with deficits.
This simulation asks you to adjust spending and tax expenditures in the the 2006 budget proposed by the White House in order to achieve either a balanced budget or any other target deficit.
The Simulation also allows you to adjust the costs of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, either cutting or cancelling them to raise revenue, or increasing them to create larger tax cuts.

 Evaluations of American Government Simulations
As part of the simulation, I was confronted with a variety of situations that tested both my ability to communicate with those who would oppose me, as well as my ability to maintain my integrity in the face of compromise.
I was truly hoping that this simulation would help to bring out some of these traits in me. Over the course of the simulation, that is exactly what happened and I resorted to the rest of the group’s ‘survival of the fittest’ mentality.
It was the simulation, not the text and lectures that explained the impact of personality and individual values that impact decision-making and political culture.

 Computer Simulation of Government Response to Natural, Industrial, and Terrorist Disasters
The role of the government to efficiently transfer power and dispatch appropriate action is becoming more important because of an increasing occurrence of severe disasters.
During a disaster or terrorist attack local, state and federal government all play integral roles in supplying the resources at their disposal and properly evaluating the situation to determine what further action is required.
Multiple scenarios varied the relative expertise of government leaders and the effect was analyzed in the response time and cost of emergency supplies.

 Mission Rehearsal & Synthetic Training - SMi Group - Reports - Overview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
As the range of missions in which the modern military are involved grows more expansive, simulation becomes an increasingly important facet of the military structure.
Simulation is a way the modern military personnel can gain experience in operations, both wartime and peacetime, which would otherwise be too expensive or impossible to conduct in a live scenario.
Interactive simulation can control the behaviour and movement of hundreds or thousands of entities (tanks, trucks, aeroplanes, missiles, etc.), and the SMi Mission Rehearsal and Synthetic Training Report is a comprehensive analysis of all facets of this exciting technology and lucrative market.
