Guided setup

Welcome to Shadow Government. This guide gives you a practical first path when entering a world.

Quick start

  • Open your world dashboard and read the world status card.
  • Pick a nation (or confirm your assignment).
  • Create your first party.
  • Recruit your first politician.
  • Open Nation Overview and Legislature.

Why this order?

  • Nation assignment unlocks your main political screens.
  • Party creation lets you recruit and participate in elections.
  • Recruitment gives you the first active actor for campaigns and lawmaking.

If something looks wrong

  • Check your role in the world (player vs world master).
  • Confirm the world is currently active.
  • Open the tutorials page for feature-by-feature walkthroughs.
