Graphically, Political Tycoon is a full on political comic strip, where the people and buildings are overly and sometimes grossly exaggerated. The entire style of the game is quite a refreshing change of pace from the bland "realistic" sprite-based games of a similar nature. Its comical feel is light hearted and appreciable. The 1024x768 drawn graphics are all solid and well defined, though a lot of the building art make them somewhat hard to distinguish from one another, at least until you play the game enough that they become recognizable.
Entire nations are represented in the game via scaled down models featuring one main city filled with that country's landmarks and architectural style. These cities are surrounded by countryside where all of the pertinent resource gathering structures are located. While the 2D graphics are not by any means bad, they are also not at the technical level other games of a similar perspective have set (Sim City 3000, Age of Empires II, and so forth), but as mentioned, the artistic style is still refreshing. Unfortunately, the game has very little in the way of animation. Aside from scattered groups of "people" bobbing up and down simulating a riot on your streets, and the occasional changes in expression by your representative's face, the game is sparsely animated; even the buildings just instantaneously appear when placed, there's no brief construction or transition animation whatsoever.
