In this expansion, the rules, processes and winning conditions will be very similar to previous games. At the start of the game, the player will select the country and representing party they want to play with. Different political parties offer bonuses to different demographics. The player will be elected as president and be forced to deal with issues which can include corruption, brain drain, debt, or the unhappiness of a particular demographic.

If their policies were too extreme, player can be assassinated. The winning condition of this game would be for the player to be reelected until it is no longer possible. Of course, players will higher goals can raise the difficulty level and attempt to eliminate all domestic problems.
There are some slight differences between the Africa expansion and previously released games. In previous games, playable nations consist of Western democratic nations such as the US, Canada, France, Australia and Great Britain. In the Africa expansion , the player can choose between ten democratic nations, inlcuding: Tunisia, Egypt, Ghana, South Africa, and Kenya. Although all the countries are located in Africa, they all have different demographics, resources and problems. African nations are known for having more problems and less resources than Western nations. For some countries, even having clean water can be an issue. Therefore playing as African nations will be more challenging.
Αναπαραγωγικά αφρικανικά έθνη στη Δημοκρατία 3: Αφρική και μερικά από τα στατιστικά στοιχεία τους
Κατάσταση του Νιγηριανού Προέδρου αντιμετωπίζει ως πρώτη ημέρα στην εξουσία. Ο πρόεδρος αντιμετωπίζει μαζικά κοινωνικά προβλήματα με πολύ χαμηλή δημοτικότητα
Σημείωση: τα κόκκινα εικονίδια ως προβλήματα, τα μπλε εικονίδια ως ενεργές πολιτικές, τα άσπρα εικονίδια είναι σημάδια που μπορούν να προσαρμοστούν όπως ο φορολογικός συντελεστής και η ηλικία αλκοόλ, ενώ τα πράσινα εικονίδια είναι πλεονεκτήματα.
Συνολικά, η δημοκρατία είναι παιχνίδι για να ακολουθήσει αυτό που οι άνθρωποι θέλουν αντ 'αυτού να δημιουργήσουν και να καταργήσουν πολιτικές που ο παίκτης πιστεύει ότι θα είναι επωφελής για το έθνος τους. Η εξεύρεση ισορροπίας ανάμεσα σε πολιτικές που είναι δημοφιλείς και ωφέλιμες είναι το κλειδί της "καθιστώντας την χώρα πάλι μεγάλη".
