Citystate II

Citystate II is a city-building game in which you build a nation one city at a time. You develop cities, manage public services and infrastructure, and shape the nation through economic and political decisions.

Build your cities

Each nation can have up to 64 buildable cities, set across large maps of 512x512 tiles. You can construct more than 300 unique buildings, including real-scale skyscrapers, and connect the city with eight road types, railways and subways. Power and water management, schools, hospitals, prisons, fire stations and police stations are also part of city development. The game includes a flag creator and mod-ready maps.

Manage the economy

Economic systems include unemployment, income distribution and a social ladder, along with money printing, inflation, corruption and trade balance. Immigration policies let you control the speed of population growth.

Shape national policy

The game offers 51 policies with 204 distinct options across the political spectrum. You can create policies by editing and enacting custom laws. Religion, birth rates and political affiliations are also represented.

Handle city crises

Cities can face riots, fires, plane crashes and organized crime, as well as slums and urban decay. Bankruptcy is another possible challenge. The game uses economic terminology and statistics, and its depictions of political ideologies are subjective.
