Some examples

Arctic Wars
In 2018, the United States and Russia vie for control of the immense resources of the Arctic which, because of climate change, have become more easily accessible. After the election of a Republican president in the 2016 election, the United States has established additional military bases on the west coast of Greenland. Russia has done the same on the east coast of Greenland. Petroleum (10% of the world's reverse), gas, aluminum, rare earth elements...this part of the world has become strategically crucial and considering the antagonistic nature of the presidents of these two superpowers, the risk of conflagration is extremely high! Moreover, a worried Greenland wants independence from its controlling nation, the Kingdom of Denmark, and the restrictive laws of its environmental program. It's up to you: as the leader of Denmark, try to avoid global unrest!

The End of Europe?
In the year 2020, the European Union has completely broken apart. Nearly all of its countries have left the organization after populist parties win national elections. Moreover, several states were created after some regions (such as Catalonia and Scotland) gained their independence. Take charge of the opposition party of various countries to try to build a new Europe.

2022: Worldwide Chaos and Devastation!

With the war in the Ukraine, the planet is in chaos and nothing will ever be the same again. What's more, there is the threat of global warming, the lingering Covid epidemic along with the risk of new variants, inflation and increased prices on the planet's key resources.

Alongside the base game mode, which allows you to play as any head of state or opposition leader in the world controlling one or multiple nations, the 2022 Edition offers multiple scenarios.

In the Ukraine scenario, save the country by playing as the Ukraine and one or more NATO countries, by resisting the advance of Russian tanks, by supporting the Ukrainian army, by urging financial sanctions against Russia, by accepting refugees, by making the Russian president unpopular in the eyes of the people or by influencing China to officially oppose the conflict, all while avoiding escalation.

The scenario on global warming involves adjusting your goals for reducing CO2 emissions. Climate Change Conferences (COP) have been added. You can also influence other countries to go further in their goals, with the artificial intelligence of leaders simulating their behavior on the subject, ultimately allowing you to see the real development of worldwide climate change up to the year 2100.

In the "Animal Welfare" scenario, your objective is to become one of the most honorable countries in the world regarding animal rights. To do this, you will have a specific budget and an arsenal of legislation on hunting, animal rights and various other regulations (bullfighting, production of foie gras, battery farming...).

The "French Elections" scenario allows you to play as any candidate in the French election in April 2022.

Besides these scenarios, the game also has new features including: simulating the appearance and development of conspiracy theories with new budgets and actions on the internet and social media, inclusion of fake news with the possibility of combating them or creating them, the development of secret services abroad along with the manipulation of social media and improvements allowing the overthrow of a foreign head of state, management of Covid in 2022 with vaccine boosters and the simulation of new variants, the development of garbage recycling along with a new tax on the use of plastic packaging, the addition of military battle robots, new SMR nuclear power plants, new music awards (Eurovision, Grammy Awards) and sports (eSports, MMA) and numerous improvements on the God'n'Spy add on, including the detailed calculation of the level of dictatorship in a country.

NEW CONTENTS FOR 2022

Ukrainian Crisis
In the Ukrainian conflict scenario, the player can play as the Ukraine and one or more NATO countries by resisting the advance of Russian tanks, by supporting the Ukrainian army, by urging financial sanctions against Russia, by accepting refugees, by making the Russian president unpopular in the eyes of the people or by influencing China to officially oppose the conflict.
The simulation of the conflict required the development of new features and expansion of various aspects: access to allies' bases, providing weapons, calculating the losses and costs of the war, a peace treaty with the division of the conquered regions, impact of the loss of soldiers on popularity, the behavior of AI countries in wartime conditions (NATO's decisions, decisions for general mobilization, decisions to enter or leave a conflict...), better inclusion of economic embargoes and their impact on prices, implementing financial sanctions and their consequences and the possibility of influencing AI leaders so that they also implement them, accepting refugees, exclusion and boycotts of sports or cultural events...

In normal game mode, all countries are playable, beginning with the same military context military and events as in the real world.

Conspiracy Theories and Fake News
Various conspiracy theories can appear in a country depending on numerous factors, especially the level of control of social media. The player can launch information campaigns and deconstruction campaigns to destroy them, to try to influence public figures who are passing along these theories to abandon them, or to take more drastic action on controlling the internet.
With secret services, the player as head of state can act abroad, disseminating theories in enemy countries, and act at home, instigating fake news about characters deemed hostile.

Climate Objectives and Conferences

With the simulation of the Climate Change Conferences (COP), it will be possible to modify goals for the reduction of CO2, participate in deciding on the Green Climate Fund, intended to help developing countries, and most of all, influence other countries to do more in their efforts with an AI system setting the objectives to reach for all countries and the actions and legislation to implement. Finally, the player will be able to follow the global warming trends in a precise and detailed manner up to the year 2100.

Animal Welfare
All the countries of the world are now rated according to their efforts in animal rights. A dedicated budget and an arsenal of legislation are available to the player to advance their country: regulation on hunting, recognition of animal rights, position regarding bullfighting, the production of foie gras, battery farming, whale hunting, the testing of cosmetics on animals, possessing marine mammals at aquariums or wild animals at circuses, dog fighting, raising animals for fur...
