Power & Revolution

Power & Revolution is the fourth generation of Geopolitical Simulator. You can lead one or several countries as a head of state, seeking to extend your influence, or play as a legal or illegal opposition leader and try to take power.

Lead a country

As head of state, you can take more than 1,000 playable actions across areas including budgets, taxation, currency, the economy, foreign and domestic affairs, defense, health, education, the environment and transportation. Each of the 175 playable countries has over 600 data elements, including popularity ratings, political relations and economic exchanges. The simulation updates these in real time in response to your actions.

You can propose bills for Parliament to vote on, covering matters such as welfare benefit minimums, retirement age, secret development of atomic weapons, auto-industry subsidies, teacher recruitment, union powers, speed limits, prostitution regulation and an international film festival. You can also build infrastructure and facilities on the world map, including nuclear plants, wind farms, military bases, pipelines, high-speed train lines and airports.

Play the opposition

Choose a political party or illegal organization and try to overthrow those in power through force, revolution or democratic elections. You manage opposition forces and the party budget, speak to the media, take positions on legislative bills, organize protests, pursue independence and infiltrate positions of power. You can also raise an army with help from foreign countries or illegal groups, then seek to conquer all the territory or capture the capital.

Conflicts and city battles

The world map depicts conflict zones including Syria, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine, Nigeria and Yemen, with occupied territories, besieged cities, localized military units, international bases, and terrorist groups’ personnel and equipment. City battle maps show key buildings, squares and roads, with specific maps for important capitals. You control demonstrators, hooligans, armed extremists, rocket launchers, riot police, police vans, snipers and armored tanks. To advance through a scenario, capture symbolic sites such as parliament, a television station, a bank, a headquarters, the presidential palace or a bunker.

Scenarios and simulation

The game includes more than 20 scenarios, including “War in Iraq and Syria,” “Revolutions!,” “Separatism,” “Mess in Ukraine,” “Libyan Chaos,” “Terror in Nigeria,” “Yemeni Puzzle,” “Threats in Somalia,” “American commitment against climate change,” “2016 US Elections” and “Presidential Marriage.”

The simulation includes detailed electoral campaigns with televised debates, meetings, campaign budgets, platforms and polls; an in-depth unemployment simulation; and the evaluation, development and regulation of shale oil and gas. It also includes reconnaissance and combat drones, mobile rebel camps, new legislation, characters, organizations and administrative regions, as well as 200 new personalities with animated 3D bodies and faces. Its geopolitical and economic data is updated to January 1, 2016.

Game modes and options

The single-player game includes a multi-country mode for managing several countries at once. Settings let you adjust terrorist activity, the probability of natural disasters, population reactivity and the outbreak of war. The game also has an online real-time player ranking, an interactive tutorial and help available throughout play in beginner mode, and a QUIZZ mode with more than 3,000 questions about geopolitics.

The interface supports multiple screens and 4K displays, with configurations for double-screen or 4K setups. You can use your own photos, logos and names in the game. It also contains more than 16,000 texts and 10 hours of dialogue.
