The French
government is giving its citizens a chance to run the country by setting up
a virtual internet game called Cyberbudget.
The idea of the game is to let people understand how difficult it is to
balance the books when it comes to the economy of a whole country.
However, the French government did not say whether people's ideas would be
saved and implemented as financial policy.
The idea comes at a time when France is facing financial crises over key
services such as pensions and the health service.
"The French demand reform but gnash their teeth when it involves making
economies," said French government minister
Jean-François
Cope as he announced the game on
national television.
The game launches in May and can be played by 10,000 users at once.
