Genre no bar. Seinen's tasty, but I wouldn't mind shoujo, either. Romances, action stories, science fiction and everything else is okay, as long as politics is the main driving force of the plot. (Or at least, one of the main driving forces.) I have a special fetish for historical settings, so political manga set in the past will be great, too.

Some examples of political manga...
Cesare: THE political manga, as far as I'm concerned. Flawless research and unremitting strategy - "pure" politics, even if it does often get soiled with blood. (By pure I mean that no romance or anything else intrudes on it; every chapter of this manga is one political machination after another. Makes me weep with joy...)
Sanctuary: Awesome tale of the links between the Japanese yakuza and the government.
Monster: A classic. Everyone knows about this anyway, so let's carry on...
My Name is Nero: Sadly discontinued. Someone, anyone, please pick this up! Even if it's got the freaky mother/son incest...
Kerberos Panzer Corp: Mecha-enhanced political manga. Gotta love it! (Well, I presume I will; I've ordered it but haven't received it yet.)
Kunimitsu no Matsuri: A humorous shounen manga about a young guy who decides to change the corrupt government!
Poland's Secret Story: Again, sadly discontinued. Polish politics in classic 70s shoujo art.
Several titles by Kawauchi Kaiji: Yeah, most of his work has a major political theme. Some of it is very nationalistic, but I still love it.
Princess: Apparently a shoujo political manga, but I lost patience after the first volume - too much romantically-driven angst. (I'm okay with national tragedies, but not personal ones... Go figure!)
Adolf: You already know what it's about, don't you? Yes, it is about Adolf Hitler - but also about a Jew and a part-Japanese guy who also share Hitler's first name.
Path of the Assassin: A ninja gets deeply embroiled in the dangers of politics, thanks to the young shogun he is assigned to protect.
Hyougemono: Tea and politics - they go together well, don't they?
Historie: Politics (and sundry other things) in the time of Alexander the Great.
Afghanistan: A somewhat optimistic political allegory, if very topical. Just a one-shot.
Apocalypse Meow: Another allegory, but far darker this time! Portrays the horrors of the Vietnam War in a distinctly Orwellian style. If you don't mind bunnies getting shot, maimed or otherwise injured, then this is the manga for you. (I quite like it; the rabbits give as good as they get!)
Further political recommendations will be appreciated.
