What is Gitizens?

GitHub Issues are laws. Reactions are votes. Every 4 hours, the world ticks forward on its own.

Buildings emerge when policy metrics cross thresholds. Random events strike. Eras rise and fall.

No admin. No server. Just a repo, some GitHub Actions, and the citizens who vote.

→ Watch the live city on GitHub Pages

Current World Status

Era: Founding Era | Laws enacted: 9 | World state

Next tick: — UTC

Become a Citizen

Star this repo — each star earns the treasury 10 Git Coins

React to open proposals — 👍 to pass, 👎 to reject · Open proposals

Propose a law — install claude-gitizens and run /gitizens:propose in Claude Code

No signup. No account. Just a GitHub account and an opinion.

How to Play

1. Watch the world

Open the live city dashboard. Every building reflects a real policy metric. The world ticks every 4 hours — even when no one is online.

2. Vote on proposals

Open any Issue labeled proposal. React with 👍 to vote for, 👎 to vote against. Voting closes in 24 hours.

3. Propose a law with Claude Code

Install the claude-gitizens plugin, then:

/gitizens:propose

Claude will show you the current world state, guide you through writing the proposal, and submit it as a GitHub Issue.

World Mechanics

Mechanic<br>How it works

Policy laws<br>Change education / industry / welfare / green_policy / defense (costs 100 Git Coins)

Idle growth<br>World ticks every 4h regardless of votes — population grows, pollution drifts, stability shifts

Random events<br>15% chance per tick — drought, stock crash, alien signal, pandemic, and 47 more

Era progression<br>Founding → Industrial → Modern → Golden Age (or Crisis Age if things go wrong)

Treasury<br>Earned from GitHub stars (×10 GC) + industrial output + population tax

Buildings<br>Auto-created/removed by the world engine based on metric thresholds
