I think there could be an interesting game that leaned even harder into the creation and testing of contracts and rules.
What if players each controlled a state within a nation, and had to agree on Federal laws. They could also make state laws.
After a round of law making and voting, a computer simulation of economy and population growth and whatnot would play out. The effects of the interplay of all the laws would become obvious. Then, another round of law making.
