Buy Geo-Political Simulator 5 PC key

Geo-Political Simulator 5 (GPS5) simulates the contemporary world across economic, political, military, social, financial, environmental, energy and transportation systems. You can control one or more countries, lead one or more multinational corporations, or work to take power as the opposition. Your decisions affect a world of 175 playable countries and more than 3,000 major companies, with changes calculated in real time.

The simulation draws on more than 150,000 facts and figures, 20,000 texts and 12 hours of recorded dialogue. Its animated 3D map shows borders, regions, vegetation, bodies of water, production facilities and strategic sites. More than 20 scenarios based on contemporary events are included, and you can adjust settings such as terrorist activity, natural-disaster probabilities, public reactions and the outbreak of wars.

Lead a country

As head of state, you can take more than 1,000 actions across areas including budgets, taxation, currency, the economy, foreign and domestic affairs, defense, society, labor, health, social security, education, the environment, transportation and culture. The game covers nearly 30 types of taxes and more than 130 economic activities. You can propose bills for Parliament to vote on, covering subjects such as welfare minimums, retirement age, teacher recruitment, union powers, road speed limits and industry subsidies.

You can also build on the world map, adding structures such as nuclear plants, wind farms, military bases, pipelines, high-speed rail lines and airports. Lobbies, social groups and influential figures may respond to your actions with interviews, resignations, protests, strikes, unrest, blocked roads or wars. You can meet figures or intervene in the media to ease tensions or form alliances.

Take power as opposition

As the leader of a legal or illegal organization, you can seek power through force, revolution, diplomacy or democratic elections. You manage the organization’s budget and can influence media, advise Parliament on voting, organize protests, lobby, manipulate influential people, fund or recruit members, form violent cells, buy military equipment, raise an army, seek allies or enter armed conflict.

During elections, you manage a campaign budget, set a political agenda, plan a schedule of meetings and face opponents in televised debates.

Run a corporation

You can lead one or more multinational companies using detailed information on revenue, market shares, product sales, competitors, shareholders, staffing and finances. Company activities include production, commerce, marketing, human resources, finance, taxation, research, security, legal affairs and politics. Advisors provide guidance, and you can speak with bankers, shareholder representatives and union leaders.

Company goals can include becoming one of the world’s largest multinationals or joining the billionaire class. You must handle union conflicts and competition, using decisions such as takeover bids, creating subsidiaries and launching initial public offerings. You can also commit illegal acts, including kickbacks, tax evasion, tax fraud, illegal price fixing and political lobbying, with associated risks.

Military and intelligence

The map details conflict zones, including occupied territories, besieged cities, military-unit locations, international bases, and terrorist groups’ personnel and equipment. During conflicts, you direct units from real bases. City battles use detailed maps of major buildings and intersections; depending on your side, you can direct police, hooligans, military personnel or armed extremists, and order actions such as building barricades, deploying snipers, looting banks or moving armoured vehicles.

Secret services can reveal political scandals, dismantle terrorist networks, sabotage foreign infrastructure, assassinate opponents, send reconnaissance drones and position satellites to locate enemy units. The game also includes more than 50 international organizations. At the UN, for example, you can denounce a nation and seek Security Council authorization for military intervention, or create an organization of your own.

Scenarios and world threats

Four scenarios focus on tensions in 2024: the US Elections, in which you run a campaign with the candidate of your choice; Threats to the Olympic Games, where you work to stop attempted terrorist attacks at the Paris Olympics; and New Data on France, where you become either the head of the opposition party or the new head of the French government after legislative elections, with the 2027 presidential election in view. The description also identifies a fourth new scenario but does not name it.

The simulation assesses global threats and presents results with specific graphics. These include global warming, social inequality, the risk of global atomic war, overpopulation, unemployment, pollution, terrorism, cybercrime, regional conflicts, food insecurity, world hunger, deforestation, natural disasters, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, species loss, climate refugees and epidemics. Many of these threats are interconnected.

The world simulation

The game includes more than 600 data elements for each playable country, tracking factors such as popularity ratings, political relations and economic exchanges. Its company simulation covers thousands of businesses across economic sectors and countries. A reworked macroeconomic engine models company contributions to national GDP, trade between countries, shortages and surpluses, price changes, taxes and embargoes, as well as buildings across all activity sectors.

The 3D map has almost 2 million polygons and more than 10 million grid squares to build on, with high-resolution terrain textures, rivers, lakes, bridges, tunnels and more than 60 types of buildings. Military units’ movement is adapted to terrain and highways.
