Some examples

Make America Greater!
In January 2025, as the President of the United States, your goal is to annex Greenland, Canada, and Panama. Amid complex negotiations, international rivalries, and local resistance, every decision will shape the global balance of power. Strategy, diplomacy, and boldness will be essential to strengthen American influence and build a stronger America than ever before.

Arctic Wars
In 2026, 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 2028, 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.

Geopolitical Simulator 5 - aka GPS5 - is a simulation of our current world, recreating its features in-depth and across a number of domains: economic, political, military, social, financial, environmental, energetic, transportation...

Every country and major multinational corporation are represented with their own variables and functions. The calculation and scenario engines include more than 150,000 facts and figures, 20,000 texts, and 12 hours of recorded dialog. An ultra-detailed and animated 3D map with vegetation, bodies of water, every border, regions, production facilities, and important strategic sites around the world become your playground.

See simulation details here:

The game combines management stages of economics, commerce, wargames, construction, espionage, simulation, and political influence and manipulation.

You can opt to control one or more countries or one or more major corporations simultaneously and devise collaborative strategies to change your own destiny or the world's. Game sessions are customizable in several ways: activity level of terrorist organizations, probability of natural disasters, reactions of the people, outbreak of wars... More than twenty contextual scenarios with current events from today's world are integrated.

You can choose to play as a head of state, leader of the political opposition, and/or the president of a multinational company.

WHAT'S NEW IN GPS5

• New Map
  The new 3D world map is 10 times more precise than GPS4, with almost 2 million polygons and more than 10 million grid squares for you to build on along with the ability to zoom in closer to the ground. There are new high-resolution textures (forests, rocks, farmland...) along with the modeling of rivers, lakes, bridges, tunnels, and more than 60 types of buildings (commercial, factories, infrastructures...)
  The military unit movement AI is optimized according to the type of terrain and highways.
• New Macro-Economic Engine
  It has been restructured to include the simulation of thousands of worldwide companies that contribute to the GDP of the country, with finer detail on economic exchanges between countries, product shortages and surplus situations, price variation, taxes, embargoes, etc. The engine includes all the buildings present on the world map and in all activity sectors (in GPS4, only the energy sector was included). New sectors have been added: fertilizer, hydrogen, food industry, medical equipment, mobile phones, etc.
• New Interface
  The interface has been completely redesigned and revamped to be more dynamic and user-friendly.
  It is designed to adapt to different-sized screens and to make use of their respective configurations, especially for 4K screens or double screens. The player can also choose the scale of the interface for optimal viewing and to pre-position game windows to organize and personalize their space. A generalized information system allows the player to access detailed explanations or additional information on game elements.

TURMOIL AROUND THE GLOBE
In 2024, points of tension are emerging almost everywhere, threatening to destabilize the global geopolitical equilibrium and whose outcomes are extremely uncertain.
Four new scenarios to illustrate this chaotic world:

• US Elections: with the candidate of your choice, you the player run your campaign to win the presidential election and redefine American politics.
• Threats to the Olympic Games: terrorist organizations redouble their efforts on the Olympic Games in Paris. The player must act quickly to thwart any attempted terrorist attacks.
• New Data on France: after the surprise dissolution by the French head of state, you become the head of the opposition party or the new head of the French government after legislative elections, with an eye on the presidential election in 2027.

PLAY AS THE HEAD OF STATE
Over one thousand playable actions. At the country’s helm, the player/head of state can act in many areas: budget, taxation (nearly thirty types of taxes), currency, economy (over 130 economic activities), foreign and domestic affairs, defense, society, labor, health, social security, education, environment, transportation, culture, and more.
Propose bills to be voted on in Parliament, for example: setting social welfare benefit minimums, changing the retirement age, developing atomic weapons in secret, subsidizing the auto industry, hiring teachers, defining the powers of unions, setting speed limits on roads, regulating prostitution, creating an international film festival, etc.
The player can also construct elements on the world map, which will change accordingly: nuclear plants, wind farms, military bases, pipelines, high-speed train lines, airports, and many more.

PLAY AS THE OPPOSITION
At the head of a legal or illegal organization, the player can take power by force, revolution, diplomacy, or democratic election. To that end, players have many actions at their disposal: manage the budget of the party or illegal organization, intervention in the media, give voting advice to Parliament, launch protest movements, lobbying, manipulation of influential persons, funding or recruitment campaigns, creation of violent cells, purchase military equipment, raise an army, seek allies, engage in armed conflict... During elections, players must manage their campaign budget, establish their political agenda, complete their meeting itinerary, confront their adversary in televised debates…

PLAY AS THE CEO OF A MULTINATIONAL CORPORATION
As the head of one or more of these companies, you have all the tools and all the information necessary to lead and develop your companies.
Each company's data is precisely detailed: revenue, market shares, sales by product, competition, shareholders, staffing, balance sheet...
You must engage in multiple activities within the company: production, commerce, marketing, human resources, finances, taxation, research, security, legal, and politics.
You'll have advisors in various domains and you can also speak to your banker, shareholder representative, or union leader.
Reaching these goals - for example, becoming one of the largest multinational companies in the world or joining the ranks of the billionaire class - will also require resolving conflicts with the union AI, demonstrating sound strategy concerning the competition by making financial decisions (takeover bids, creation of subsidiaries, initial public offerings…), even crossing over to the dark side (along with the risks involved) by engaging in malfeasance of all kinds (paying out kickbacks, tax evasion, tax fraud, illegal price fixing, political lobbying).

LOBBYIST AND CHARACTER AI
All actions of the player as head of state or opposition have repercussions and lobbies, social groups, and important national and international figures will intervene if their artificial intelligence deems necessary (press interviews, resignations, protests, strikes, unrest, blocked roads, wars...).
To prevent tensions or forge alliances, the player can meet any figure during the meeting or intervene in the media (more than 12 hours of dialogue in the game).

REALISTIC WARGAMES AND CITY BATTLE PHASES
The world map incorporates all places of conflict down to the smallest detail: occupied territories, besieged cities, locations of military units, international military bases, personnel and equipment of terrorist groups...
As a warlord, players can direct all of their units from real bases during military conflicts. City battles are shown on precise maps with all the major buildings and intersections. The players, according to the side they represent, can direct police, hooligans, military personnel or armed extremists to these locations and construct barricades, send in snipers, loot the banks, or have armoured vehicles move in.

SECRET SERVICES
Secret services play an important role. They have an arsenal of espionage and special operations: reveal scandals about an opposing political party, dismantle terrorist networks, sabotage foreign infrastructure, assassinate an opponent, send reconnaissance drones or position satellites to locate enemy units, etc.

INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS
International organizations (over 50 organizations included) play an important role. At the UN, for example, the player can denounce a nation in order to obtain the Security Council’s authorization for a military intervention. The player can also create his or her own organization.

SIMULATION OF MAJOR GLOBAL THREATS
Geopolitical Simulator 5 simulates all the major perils that threaten the planet and produces a comprehensive assessment for each one from the results along with specific graphics. The list of threats is substantial and many of them are interconnected: global warming, the widening of social inequality, the risk of global atomic war, overpopulation, unemployment, atmospheric pollution, terrorism, cybercrime, regional conflicts, food insecurity, world hunger, deforestation, natural disasters (storms, floods, drought, extreme heat...), rising sea levels, ocean acidity, disappearance of animal species, climate refugees, epidemics, endocrine-disrupting chemicals…
