I'm interested in table top games that have a strong focus on power and politics, or possibly social change or intrigue that intersects with power and politics.

Not hung up on format or system, open to anything.

Any suggestions?

I love Fate. I am using it to run what I'm calling my "sedition sandbox" campaign (there's an evil empire, you've been sent to its capital as spies and saboteurs, now tell me how you bring it down from the inside).

It's been working great. On our best nights, we hit a tone reminiscent of Andor as my players hit key targets, turn their enemies against each other, and grapple with just how far they are willing to go in the name of the cause.
