Definitely the way to go. Currently looking at Mesa (https://github.com/projectmesa/mesa/ https://github.com/projectmesa/mesa/) as a way of modelling an economy (which will include government as an actor - and a form of every other main actor as well). I've got a project open here: https://github.com/NeilW/maytrix https://github.com/NeilW/maytrix which sort of gives an indication of where I'd like to go. Open to any and all collaborations to get it moving.
