Is there anything in the errors.txt in the same folder? and can you copy the drawdebug.txt here too. has the game ever run ok? or was this the first time you ran it? If it’s run in the past, please temporarily rename \my documents\my games\democracy 3 to ensure its not some corrupt data in there somewhere.
