Australia's home of delicious numeric data, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, has released a new iPhone game called Run that Town.

Have you ever thought your local area could be run better? Well, why don’t we put you in charge? Run That Town is a strategy game with a twist - it lets you take control of any neighbourhood in Australia. Use real Census data to discover who’s who in your area, and make decisions that will sway popular opinion in your favour. What kind of leader will you be? Will you be showered with praise, or chased out of town by an angry mob?

• Play with any Australian postal area
• Every game is created using real Census data, making it unique to your neighbourhood
• Choose from hundreds of projects for your town - from the practical to the preposterous
• Consult the locals to make popular decisions
• Read about your exploits in the infamous local paper

You can download Run that Town now from the iOS AppStore (I guess they don't have statistics on how many people have Android phones, because there's no version for that platform yet). Check out the game trailer below for a look at the action.
