The game was directed by Eliot Nelson, a former reporter for the Huffington Post who began developing it in 2018 after leaving the company. Although based on his experiences as a journalist, Nelson also drew inspiration from various other video games, namely sports titles such as NBA 2K and Madden NFL as well as other simulation games like SimCity. One particular inspiration was The Oregon Trail, specifically in regards to its structure, with Nelson stating:
"It's that simple formula that we're trying to recreate with Political Arena, Oregon Trail never had any lessons in it. You never just stop and answer a quiz. It was a fun and immersive and - dare I even say? - addictive game that has did [sic] such a successful job of familiarizing tens of millions of people with its relatively arcade corner of American history."
