How many versions of dope wars are on google play?

Drugs, Strong Language, Criminal Technique Instructions

No mention of violence or sexual content, interestingly enough.

Criminal Technique Instruction?  In Cata?  I mean you can make meth, but you learn no more about it than Breaking Bad.  You get lockpicks, but only in the most abstract ways (Oblivion is more accurate) and lockpicking isn't even illegal in itself.  I guess it's just general "This is the most accurate tag."

That is quite interesting; it must be a matter of different thresholds for different rating schemes.  ESRB doesn't care about criminal technique instructions, but you bet your bippy it cares about sex, drugs, and rock and roll gratuitous violins violence.

I have a feeling it might be more about the explosives than the drugs. Cata does include shopping lists for stuff like Molotov cocktails and nail bombs, even if it doesn't tell you exactly how to make them.

The list of games with bombs and actually blowing up other players in multiplayer is long on google play. There's even an app to use in airsoft games so players can disarm a bomb.

Google play obviously advocates bombing human beings.

Using and defusing bombs is quite different from building them. How many games are there that involve bombmaking but don't have a high age restriction?

[BigD145]

Not really different. You're setting up a timer and interface in the airsoft apps, which has more to it for the purpose of bomb building than Cata has.

which has more to it for the purpose of bomb building than Cata has.

Not really. I'm unsure if it's in one of the expanded weapon mods or vanilla, but, for example, there are definitely recipes that involve hexamine, the in-game description of which says it's not only readily available(for camp stoves and such), but used in military-grade explosives(IRL it's used in RDX). And your character can learn to make pretty destructive bombs using a fairly convincing set of materials. I didn't even know how simple these kinds of things were myself(in retrospect to how hard I thought it was) until I played this game.

Hoo boy, I hope PEGI doesn't ever see Children of a Dead Earth.

Molotov cocktails are hardly that complex a concept though. :V

As for other things, well. It doesn't really teach you the actual chemical processes for them, but technically that sort of thing is available on wikipedia.

Kinda wondering about how DDA got an Ao rating. 

Source? I couldn't find anything on Google, and wasn't aware niche freeware games like this even get official ratings.

It's from the official listing on Google Play's store.  Google determines ratings for its online store using self-submitted questionnaires which automatically generate a rating based on the answers.

EDIT:
Reading up, I'm actually surprised this game even got in.  One of the flat-out verboten content issues is illegal activities, and the explicit list includes "depicting or encouraging the use or sale of drugs, alcohol, or tobacco by minors."  Given that you can play a coked-up preschooler as death on roller blades...

Clearly, the schoolchildren you can play as have simply been held back multiple times until the age of 18. Completely legal and safe.

Even when your starting Intelligence stat is 20?

Maybe they're just shockingly lazy.

Given that Cataclysm is supposedly centered in New England, which is in the US, and the school system in the US is designed to best work with the average with only small afterthoughts given to those below or above the curve, your hyperintelligent child may well have just been neglected by the system and is now a dysfunctional manchild stuck in remedial school.
