Is there a game that revolves around going into debt while your government funds and arms a genocide for years?  I want the authentic experience.

That's every country except North Korea though.

I guess you can try this old DOS game from 1990 (Conflict: The Middle East Political Simulator)

You plebs need to play shadow president

Almost forgot about that game. Probably the best America simulator of all because if you try to do anything good like annexing Canada your approval rating tanks and you lose in 3 turns because your handlers in Tel Aviv lock you out.

Sam and Max hit the road (LucasArts)
A love letter to the odd side of the United States of America. Full of mystery, puns and history mixed with American mythology. And on top of it all, the game is also educational. Thanks to Sam and Max, gamers know who John Muir is while non gamers do not!

Honorable mentions: LHX Attack Chopper, a beginner friendly military helicopter simulator that served as an introduction to the equipment used by the U.S. Army, Air Force and so on. For example, LHX marked the first video game appearance of the B-2 bomber. Probably. LHX was developed and published in 1990 by Electronic Arts when the company's name wasn't yet associated with the word "shit". You could destroy camels, too. Later, in U.S. Navy Fighters, which invented the war in Ukraine, you could destroy moose. 
EA's downward spiral started when Advanced Tactical Fighters was released. The monkeys developing the game didn't bother to model thrust vectoring properly.

Wish I had the .gif saved of one player utilizing the entire arsenal of stockpiled nuclear weapons in the West to repeatedly glass Israel. That should be considered the real ending.

TNO.

It's a game played with people's money.

I can't believe I forgot Sam and Max. It's fun in spurts but like a lot of LucasArts adventure games, just because you can't die doesn't mean the game can't make you wish you were dead. I remember there were at least three puzzles where the intended solution was to buy the strategy guide, or else use every verb with every item at every hotpoint in the game until you stumble across the one that lets you progress. Also there's that one Swedish Baywatch-looking woman who blatantly wants to ride Sam's rocket, though at least Sam is as disgusted by it as I was.

Sam & Max has big Gravity Falls energy
>babbys first murrica the flightsim
I would personally point to picrel as the perfect example. Cheezy celeb endorsement aside, it's a guided tour through excepting WWI burgerstan's formative airwars: WWII Europe, Korea, and Vietnam. Missions usually focus on either straight dogfights, or escorting heavy bombers (or attacking them, if you play as OPFOR). The flight model also holds a special spot in my heart, being just hardcore enough to feel like a flightsim, but arcade-y enough that filthy casuals and small children can play it. Note the Mac version is much nicer, featuring high-rez modes, multi-monitor, and LAN netplay. Incidentally, this is also an EA game, by yet another one (Looking Glass) in their stable of beloved cult hit studios that was ultimately raped to death.

I really enjoy the telltale games. Shame that the people who are attached to them are the lowest  of the low
>You don't get it they're totally gay
I hate everyone every faggot and woman who ever played the Sam&Max games.
>Dude but the joke
>But the title stands for S&M
>Men aren't allowed to have friends if they do they're gay or basically a bitch who orbits a worthless woman who gets pounded 3 different ways all sunday

>>312253
To be fair the joke about them (or at least Max) being maybe sorta possibly gay but not really goes back to the comics by Steve Purcell. Usually in the form of this running gag:
>wow, what a dame
<I thought you didn't like girls, Max
>oh right, I forgot
IIRC it even happens once in Hit the Road.
