Rate & State

Rate & State is a macroeconomic simulator in which you take charge of a country’s financial system. You manage the economy, respond to changing conditions and balance growth with citizens’ well-being, aiming to steer the country through challenges without falling into hyperinflation and debt.

Manage the economy

You can adjust the key interest rate to control inflation and set tax rates to fund the budget, while considering the effects taxes may have on businesses. You can also invest public funds in infrastructure, technology or social programs. Live statistics show how your decisions affect GDP, inflation and other metrics in real time.

Respond to events

Random events can bring bonuses or setbacks. These include technological breakthroughs, global crises, natural disasters and trade wars, which can impose severe debuffs.

Choose your approach

There is no single path to success. You can pursue a strict economy with high taxes and heavy government investment, or a libertarian approach with minimal government intervention. Daniil, your advisor, helps at the start and suggests decisions as you play.
