Buy Power & Revolution: 2021 Edition PC key

Power & Revolution: 2021 Edition is a simulation of the contemporary world in which you govern one or several countries as head of state, or try to seize power as the leader of a legal or illegal opposition organization. You manage affairs across economic, political, military, social, financial, environmental, energy and transport domains, and can coordinate actions across countries to influence global events. The game represents every country with its own characteristics and uses a detailed, animated 3D world map showing borders, regions and strategic locations.

Its Geopolitical Simulator 4 engine models 175 playable countries, with over 600 data elements for each, and calculates changes in real time in response to your actions. The simulation includes more than 100,000 data points, 15,000 texts and over 10 hours of recorded dialogue. You can play as one country or several at once, and adjust settings such as terrorist activity, natural-disaster probabilities, population reactivity and the likelihood of war. More than twenty scenarios based on current events are included.

Governing and opposition

As head of state, you can take more than 1,000 actions involving budgets, nearly 30 types of taxes, currency, over 130 economic activities, domestic and foreign affairs, defense, health, education, labor, the environment, transport and other areas. You can propose bills for parliamentary votes, from setting welfare minimums and changing the retirement age to subsidizing industries, hiring teachers, regulating prostitution or setting road speed limits. You can also build nuclear plants, wind farms, military bases, pipelines, high-speed rail lines, airports and other structures on the world map.

As a leader of the opposition, you can seek power through force, revolution, diplomacy or elections. You manage your organization’s budget, influence media and parliament, organize protests, lobby and recruit, seek allies, acquire military equipment or raise an army. During elections, you set an agenda, manage campaign funds, plan meetings and take part in televised debates. Political coalitions let parties campaign or govern together through a shared program and an agreement on government posts.

Global challenges

The simulation covers threats including global warming, inequality, the risk of nuclear war, overpopulation, unemployment, pollution, terrorism, cybercrime, regional conflicts, food insecurity, deforestation, natural disasters, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, species loss, climate refugees and epidemics. These risks can be interconnected, and the game provides assessments and graphics for them. Its fatality system uses real-world data for every country and models nearly 30 causes of death, including cancer, stroke, malnutrition, diabetes, heart disease and traffic accidents; you can take action to reduce deaths.

The 2021 edition begins with the Covid-19 pandemic still underway. You can run vaccination campaigns, set vaccination priorities and health policies, including vaccination passports, and use different forms of confinement. The “World Without Covid” scenario provides an alternative setting without the pandemic.

The European Union and diplomacy

The European Union has detailed executive and legislative processes, budgets, membership dues, aid payments, elections and economic rankings for member-country regions. You can propose resolutions on EU responsibilities, including fiscal and social harmonization, and try to persuade member nations with conflicting goals. You can also change voting rules and redistribute annual EU aid. The included EU scenarios are “The Beijing-Berlin Silk Road,” “Enlarging the Union” and “The EU, the Leading World Power and Global Democracy.”

At meetings of heads of state, you negotiate directly with independent members and use their influence on one another to affect votes. Countries can pursue free-trade agreements, student exchanges, cultural years, transnational highways and scientific cooperation. The game also includes a worldwide tax on multinationals, which the US head of state can try to negotiate through the G20. In “Biden’s Challenge,” you play as the US president and work toward more than twenty campaign and State of the Union goals, covering fiscal policy, infrastructure, clean energy, the health crisis, inequality and discrimination. The German federal-election scenario asks you to seek a majority and form a coalition to govern.

Crises and military action

The world map details conflict zones, including occupied territories, besieged cities, military units, international bases, and terrorist-group personnel and equipment. During military conflicts, you direct units from real bases. City battles use detailed maps of major buildings and intersections, where you can direct police, hooligans, military personnel or armed extremists, build barricades, deploy snipers, loot banks or send in armored vehicles.

Secret services can expose political scandals, dismantle terrorist networks, sabotage foreign infrastructure, assassinate opponents, send reconnaissance drones and position satellites to locate enemy units. More than 50 international organizations are represented. At the UN, for example, you can seek Security Council authorization for military intervention against a nation, or create an organization of your own. AI-controlled lobbies, social groups and influential figures can respond to your actions with interviews, resignations, protests, strikes, unrest, road blockages or wars. You can meet figures or use the media to ease tensions or build alliances.

Additional systems

The 2021 edition also adds a view of strategic and economic alignments; a water-cannon vehicle for dispersing demonstrators and blocking access without lethal force; loan buybacks that can use treasury reserves to avoid remaining interest; maps of political tendencies and EU regional economic rankings; and calculations of organizations’ economic and military effectiveness. It includes updated tariff management, more precise city and region selection, new achievements and a 64-bit engine. The engine increases the speed of advancing one month by 10% to 25% and game loading by 10%.

The game’s data is updated to January 1, 2021, including budgetary, economic, social, political, geopolitical, environmental and military information, conflict maps, terrorist organizations, city populations and new cities. It adds the G5 Sahel organization and new political figures, including heads of state and government, ministers, party leaders and EU leaders. Other options include online, real-time player rankings; custom photos, logos and names; an interactive tutorial and in-game help in beginner mode; and a quiz mode with more than 3,000 questions.
