The Repression Trap
Why can a huge protest leave a ruler secure? In this solo simulation, follow the money, orders and everyday cooperation that keep a government working. Five choices turn civil-resistance theory into an argument about institutional pressure, human costs and the limits of apparent victory.

Created by Yoav Duman. Five fictional episodes on civil resistance, dependencies, repression, institutional behavior and implemented gains.

Separate exploration and class routes, portable progress backups, printable writing-first reports and public teaching materials. All numerical rules are invented. Timing and learning effects require classroom piloting.
