The Social Contract
Every democracy runs on an invisible agreement nobody signed. Taxes are collected, services provided, rights granted or withheld — all according to terms most citizens never consciously chose. What if you could write yours from scratch?
Build Your Society
You'll navigate eleven dimensions of governance. For each, you'll set a position on a spectrum. There are no right answers — only trade-offs. Every gain has a cost. Every freedom has a consequence.
When you're done, we'll show you the society your choices create — and how it compares to Ireland's current, unwritten social contract.

The Point
You just made more deliberate choices about governance in three minutes than most citizens get to make in a lifetime. That's the problem. A social contract should be something a society consciously agrees to — not something inherited by accident and enforced by inertia.
