Buy Power & Revolution: 2022 Edition PC key

Power & Revolution: 2022 Edition is a geopolitical simulation in which you can play as any head of state or opposition leader, governing one or more countries. Alongside the base game mode, the 2022 edition adds scenarios and systems covering the war in Ukraine, climate change, animal welfare, elections, public opinion, espionage and more. Its country data is updated to 1 January 2022.

Scenarios

The Ukraine scenario lets you play as Ukraine and one or more NATO countries. You can resist Russian tank advances, support the Ukrainian army, call for financial sanctions, accept refugees, seek to turn Russian public opinion against its president, or influence China to officially oppose the conflict, while avoiding escalation. The simulation includes access to allies’ bases, weapons deliveries, calculations of war losses and costs, peace treaties that divide conquered regions, and the effect of soldier losses on popularity. AI countries make wartime decisions such as whether to mobilize, enter or leave a conflict, and how NATO responds; economic embargoes and their effects on prices, financial sanctions, refugee acceptance, and boycotts or exclusions from sports and cultural events are also represented. In the normal game mode, all countries are playable and begin with the same military context and events as in the real world.

The climate scenario lets you set CO2-reduction goals and influence other countries to increase their efforts. Climate Change Conferences (COP) let you take part in setting targets and deciding on the Green Climate Fund for developing countries. AI leaders set objectives and choose actions and legislation, while the simulation tracks global warming through 2100.

In the Animal Welfare scenario, you aim to make your country one of the world’s most highly regarded for animal rights. Countries receive ratings, and you have a dedicated budget and legislation covering hunting, animal rights, bullfighting, foie gras, battery farming, whale hunting, animal testing for cosmetics, marine mammals in aquariums, wild animals in circuses, dog fighting and fur farming.

Other scenarios include “Baden’s Challenge: Three Years to Succeed,” in which you play as the American president and try to implement your promised reforms by the end of your term, and “French Elections,” where you play as any candidate at the start of the official April 2022 campaign.

Public opinion and espionage

Conspiracy theories can emerge in a country depending on factors including social-media control. You can run information and debunking campaigns, try to persuade public figures spreading theories to abandon them, or take stronger measures to control the internet. As a head of state, you can also use secret services abroad to spread theories in enemy countries, or at home to fabricate fake news about people considered hostile.

Secret services have a new budget and management screen, records on specific countries and the ability to assign multiple objectives to each spy network. They can manipulate social media and more strongly affect the popularity of foreign heads of state, who may be overthrown or trigger new elections.

Government and global issues

The 2022 edition adds Covid management with vaccine boosters and simulated new variants, plus garbage recycling and a tax on plastic packaging. It also introduces autonomous or controllable battle robots that can conduct ground operations without risking soldiers, and small modular reactor (SMR) nuclear power plants. These lower-cost plants offer an alternative for decarbonizing electricity, and can be built through contracts to buy from or sell to other countries.

You can see popularity ratings for AI heads of state and rename places on the map. Construction now limits the number of buildings according to available workers, with an option to start new projects automatically when others finish. Political party choices include regionalist, ecologist, anti-globalization and religious parties, as well as parties that do not already exist in the country.

The God’n’Spy add-on has a detailed chart of each country’s level of democracy or dictatorship. It also allows you to delete a country you have played, control inflation, speed up personnel recruitment and remove the construction limit tied to available workers.
