A few points to remember.
Without politics, we would have no wars.
Straddling the fence is a MOST uncomfortable position and very rarely dignified.
Blind faith in your leaders will surely get you killed.
Those points aside.
There is a GREAT game of US Politics called Campaing Trails, we dusted it off in honour of the US Presidential Campaign. Highly reccommended if you can lay your hands on a copy.
If democratic elections are not your style, then you might want to have a go at Junta, a wonderful little game Banana Republic Representation. No counting of votes, except for appearances, and UN scutineers sake. Real political power comes from the barrel of a gun.
Diplomacy is another great game. WW1 more or less. Alliances and treaties made in open or secret between players. Gamesbyemail.com has a clone of it. You can play via email (as the website implies) Remember treaties are meant to be broken
Played Junta for years (a superior game by all means!). Had to quit playing as my group of gamers died off. The only "Political"/ Combat game I'd rate above it would be Diplomacy. It successfully reproduces an environment with No Rules better than any other I've played.
