France launches cyber-budget game

Comments: none

The BBC reports on the French government’s newly-launched online game that challenges taxpayers to balance the national budget of nearly 300bn euros ($373bn). Budget Minister Jean-Francois Cope says the game, called “cyber-budget”, will allow citizens to pretend they are in charge of the national finances. They can make decisions about spending revenue and cutting taxes. Mr Cope says the game is as realistic as possible and includes having to present a draft budget to parliament. The game was launched on the website www.cyber-budget.fr.
