Realpolitiks

Realpolitiks is a real-time grand strategy game in which you lead any contemporary nation toward global domination. Using your country’s power and economic strength, you handle domestic and international affairs, respond to crises and choose how to pursue other nations’ interests.

Nations and scenarios

The game uses the modern world’s geopolitical borders and includes real and fictional scenarios. These cover the disintegration of the European Union, terrorism and the aftermath of World War III, as well as threats such as natural disasters and financial crises. You can lead any country in a range of scenarios, with a broad decision tree, mini-scenarios and random events shaping replayability.

Political systems and relations

Choose among democracy, authoritarianism and totalitarianism, and determine your country’s relations with other nations. You can use diplomacy, economic advantages and military power, as well as spy tactics and espionage to influence other countries’ internal affairs. Your decisions can take the moral and ethical high road or set those concerns aside.

Build a world power

Develop your nation’s economic power, technological competitiveness and military strength, and compete in global rankings. You can pursue membership in the United Nations or become a nuclear tyrant that bullies other nations. The whole-world sandbox lets you expand your territory as you choose, including by creating colonies at sea or spreading your civilization into outer space.
