As I edited in the message, I was able to download it. It dropped the connection once, I downloaded again, it dropped again, then, a minute later, when I looked at the dialog again, it was offering to continue it. That's what makes me think something weird is going on.

Actually, the demo lets you play as quite a few nations... Seven, I think.
I agree that there is a good deal more to the game than that, but the demo does allow you to get used to the game mechanics and sample several nations before you decide to spend the 40 odd dollars its costs. By just allowing you to play (up to a point) the demo is significantly better than the average one in which you get to play just the tutorial or one level of the game.
