Trade World

You are not the state. You are a person with a business.

Seventeen fictional countries live on their own: they grow their economies, change rulers, go to war, get rich and go broke. You start as one person with a little money — and decide who to become: a monopolist, the richest person in the world, the head of a dynasty, or the ruler of a country.

Money turns into influence, and influence turns into laws. You build shops, plants and warehouses, link them into supply chains and take your corporation public. The world does not wait for you: companies swallow each other, governors steal the development money, neighbours fight over disputed land — and all of it hits your profit.

What you can do

• Build — factories with several production lines, farms, mines, warehouses, 25 kinds of shops, offices, R&D centers, media and your own bank. 533 goods in production chains.
• Trade — set your own prices at home and for export, win state orders, fight price wars with retail chains; every good has its buyer: some pay for the brand, some for the price.
• Grow — headquarters and directors, an IPO, shares, raiders and the defence against them.
• Rule — spheres of influence, posts of governor and minister, elections and coups; the head of state decides where the treasury goes.
• Carry on — marriage, children who inherit their parents' traits, an heir, a family business.

A living world

• Around 470 AI companies build, buy out and bankrupt each other; thousands of characters with RimWorld-style traits make careers, marry and make the news.
• Regimes, laws and interest groups: democracies vote, juntas confiscate, oligarchs lobby.
• Wars move borders and markets; sanctions, harvest failures and booms change prices across the world.
• 132 story events with choices — from a strike at your plant to uranium blackmail between great powers.
• The game starts on 1 January 2000 and never ends.

По-русски

Экономическая песочница в живом мире. Вы не государство — вы человек с бизнесом. Семнадцать вымышленных стран живут сами: строят экономику, меняют правителей, воюют. Вы начинаете одним человеком с небольшими деньгами и решаете, кем стать: монополистом, богатейшим человеком мира, главой династии или правителем страны.
