Explain the game to me.
I've stumbled on to this forum and the game sounds interesting. I'm interested in checking it out but I'd like to know how it compares to other web based strat games but the site is inaccessible for me at the moment.

Basically you answer a short political questionairre and choose a name for your country, as well as flag.

You will get a screen which displays the details of your nation, such as population and social issues, as well as economy, civil rights and political freedoms.

Each day you'll get new issues (you can increase and decrease the number in the settings) such a marijuana legalisation, gambling, etc.

How does war work or is that even an option?

War, like trade, doesn't seem to be an option. Maybe they'll add it in if they ever expand the site or something.

It's really a domestic policy thing. Good fun though.

War and trade is all RP at the moment. ALthough the site is only a month old, so there is still much to be added. It's being constantly updated.

mainly just issue decisions. It's kind of interesting. I'll probably stick around for a while.

If you like to be the big boss and make he decisions that make your civilization grow and prosper- or just keep you citizens in the dark ages, then this is a decent game. No war though.

Are you sure? You mean, that you know of yet? Or, no ?

It's first and foremost a roleplaying game. If you want war, you can have it, but you must create it on your own - the game is really just an overzelous political questionare on how you want your country to be run, and gives you a base to roleplay from.
