I really think they should be more innovative with their games.
How about
-
Hunger Strike
You're sentenced to prison, but you know you're innocent. You start a hunger strike to get media attention, while - with the aid of your outside helpers - trying to collect bits and pieces of information together to prove your innocence. The hunger strike makes you weaker day by day, so be quick or either you'll starve to death, or your jailmate Bubba will 'take care' of you!

Gdansk Strike
Be Lech Wałęsa in this thrilling political survival action-adventure game, where first in 1970 you need to survive the massacre by the riot police at the Lenin Shipyard in Gdansk, and then in the '80s you'll have to make your way back to the shipyard, take control of the strike, and then negotiate with the communist party to get the permission for legal origanization of Solidarnosc.

General Strike
A management game, where your entire country is on strike, and you need to manage the resources to prevent bankruptcy. Should you take loans? Offer 'bread and circus plays' to the worker class? Order the riot police to end the strike, no matter how many people get killed? Fight the revolutionists, and keep an eye on the neighbour countries, who have a keen eye on the rich natural resources of your state!
Damn. I should be a game designer.
