TIL that in 2002, the candidates for the election of Warsaw's mayor were each given the same save of SimCity 3000. The map resembled Warsaw, had 32.7k citizens, and they got 60k simoleons. The competition was won by Lech Kaczynski who won the elections afterwards. He soon became President of Poland.
