About This Game

GLOBAL SUPREMACY

The world never stops. Only your decisions can change it.

A world unfolds across the map: 2,604 real administrative regions, 2,445 cities, and 196 nations, each with its own ambitions and fears. One of them is yours.

Global Supremacy is a real-time geopolitical simulation that flows not in turns, but in time. The moment you begin, the world's heart starts beating — armies move and intelligence flows every day, taxes are collected and prices swing every month, the economy shifts phase every quarter, technologies mature and political mandates expire every year. You hold every lever of this enormous machine, but no lever ever works alone. Cut interest rates and investment surges while inflation boils over; raise the defense budget and your army grows stronger while the welfare ministry screams for funds. Every decision cascades through the entire world.

This is not just a war game, nor just an economy game. It is a simulation of an entire nation brought to life.

The Living World

The world is not a static backdrop — it is a living, pulsing organism.

• 2,604 regions, 2,445 cities, and 196 nations are all simulated at once. From superpowers to micro-states, choose any nation you wish to rule.
  
• Every region has its own terrain (plains, mountains, forest, desert, coast, arctic), resource endowments, and infrastructure. Mountains favor the defender; coastlines become the stage for landings and fleet operations.
  
• 23 maritime chokepoints — Suez, Panama, Malacca, Hormuz, the Bosphorus, Gibraltar, the Bering Strait, and more — hold the arteries of global trade and naval power. Who controls the gateways holds the leverage.
  
• Speed from 1x to 16x. At 1x, ten real minutes equal one in-game month. Fast-forward through peaceful decades, then slow down when war erupts to command every move by hand. Pause anytime.

Command the Economy

The economy is the living heart of this game. Every policy you set returns to you next month as growth, unemployment, and inflation.

The 8-Phase Business Cycle
The economy moves as if alive through eight phases: Overheating, Boom, Recovery, Stagnation, Downturn, Depression, Stagflation, and Deflationary Depression. In a boom, consumption and investment swell and the public rejoices — but the shadow of an asset bubble looms. When downturn and depression strike, unemployment surges and unrest spreads. The most fearsome of all is stagflation — recession and runaway prices at once, where raising rates kills the economy and cutting them lets inflation run wild.

What Gets Made, and Who Works
32 industries generate output in real time, driven by demand, supply, labor participation, and capital utilization. They split into essentials (food, energy, healthcare, medicine), normal goods (manufacturing, services), and luxuries (culture, leisure). Even in crisis, essentials hold a minimum floor — though war or a productivity shock can break even that. GDP, unemployment, and inflation are the thermometer of a nation you read every single day.

Finance & Budget — A Tug-of-War Across 9 Ministries
Defense, Education, Health, Infrastructure, Science, Welfare, Diplomacy, Justice, Environment. You allocate the budget across 9 ministries yourself. Every month the books settle into surplus or deficit, and mounting deficits force you to issue bonds — and the higher your debt-to-GDP ratio climbs, the more the world doubts your credit and demands higher interest.

Monetary Policy — The Central Bank as a Weapon
The base interest rate (-0.5% to 20%) is the single largest lever moving the entire economy. Lower it and investment and consumption awaken — but inflation rises; raise it and prices cool — but growth withers. In a deep recession, unseal quantitative easing, and adjust the reserve ratio to loosen or tighten the banks' lending power. Swing it once, and the whole nation shudders.

Taxation — Who Pays, and How Much
Design income, corporate, and value-added taxes directly in a progressive structure. Raise rates and the treasury fills, but investment shrinks and your approval wobbles; lower them and you spark growth, but the coffers run dry. Add per-industry and per-country tariffs and decide whether to shield your industries or throw open the doors to the world market.

Markets, Trade & Resources

No nation lives alone. The world market is both opportunity and shackle.

Trade — Deal with the World
Negotiate bilateral trade agreements, free trade agreements (FTAs), and common markets, and wield tariffs as both pressure and bribe. Strategic commodities can be locked into resource contracts, pinning down price floors and ceilings, delivery volumes, and breach penalties — the contract price of a single barrel of oil is your energy security. The monthly trade balance ripples out into exchange rates, inflation, and public sentiment.

Energy — Don't Let the Lights Go Out
Build power plants, watch them age, and decommission them at the end of their lives. Coal, nuclear, hydro, renewables — each source carries a different build time, cost, and output. Demand rises every month, and when supply falls short, the blackout alarm sounds — meaning lost production and public fury. Self-sufficiency or dependence on imports? Energy is survival.

Resources & Agriculture — What the Land Gives, What It Takes
36 resource types — fossil fuels like oil, coal, gas, and uranium; minerals like iron, copper, and rare earths; strategic metals like lithium and cobalt; and grain and livestock — lie buried unevenly across the regions. Endowments are fixed, but output fluctuates with technology, infrastructure, and world demand. When food runs short, the people starve — and the starving leave or rage.

The War Machine

The moment peace breaks, the army you spent decades building is put to the test.

Land Forces — Steel and Supply Lines
The basic unit of an army is the division, each carrying an Organization value that wears down in combat and recovers with rest. Combat power emerges from manpower, equipment, training, morale, technology, and entrenchment combined. But the deadliest enemy is a severed supply line — a cut-off division melts away within a month. Read the terrain, protect your supply, and watch your morale.

Navy — Design Your Own Fleet
Combine 15 ship classes and 277 naval components — engines and reactors, armor, guns and missiles and torpedoes, radar and sonar, fire-control systems — to design your own warships. From destroyers, cruisers, and frigates to aircraft carriers, attack submarines, and ballistic-missile submarines (SSBNs). Carriers launch their air wings to seize air superiority; submarines tighten their grip on enemy sea lanes from the deep. The same hull becomes an entirely different ship — in power, cost, and build time — depending on which parts go where.

Air Forces — Master of the Skies
Fighters contest air superiority while bombers and attack aircraft grind down enemy ground forces. The real difference comes from support assets: airborne early warning (AWACS) boosts accuracy and interception, and aerial refueling tankers dramatically extend your fighters' combat radius. Drop light infantry deep behind enemy lines by airlift, and from the sea, secure beachheads with amphibious landings — provided you have the nerve for the battle that erupts the moment you arrive.

Manpower & Procurement — Armies Are Made of People and Steel
Choose between conscription (cheap and fast, low morale) and a volunteer force (expensive and slow, elite), and bear the differing training times and costs of each branch. Procurement and R&D produce your tanks, aircraft, and ships, and advancing technology raises combat power. A strong army is decided years before war breaks out — in the budget sheets of peacetime.

War & Peace

Battles unfold through a multi-phase lifecycle. First, fighters contest the skies; then enemy air defenses are suppressed (SEAD); then close air support (CAS) shakes the enemy's ground forces. Division clashes with division on the ground, where terrain, entrenchment, and fortifications decide the outcome. With an overwhelming edge, a breakthrough shatters the enemy line, and your forces pursue the broken foe deep into the rear. At sea, a naval blockade chokes the enemy's lifeline.

War drags on for months, sometimes years. As war exhaustion mounts on both sides, the pressure for peace builds. When you finally sit at the table, you must decide — install the occupied land as a puppet state, annex it outright, or take reparations and sheathe your sword. You can demand only as much as your victory weighs.

The World Stage

Force is not the only power. Words, treaties, and silent deals move the world.

Diplomacy — Friends and Enemies Are Made, Not Found
Relations drift slowly between hostile, neutral, friendly, and allied. You propose and negotiate many kinds of treaties — military alliances, status-of-forces agreements (SOFA), free trade pacts, monetary unions, resource-sharing, technology transfer, intelligence sharing. Military and security treaties require unanimity; economic treaties use weighted voting by national power; environmental and humanitarian treaties pass by majority. And behind the curtain, secret alliances and covert aid change hands — smiling where all can see, passing the knife where none can.

International Organizations — Strength in Numbers
The UN, IMF, World Bank, WTO, OPEC, EU, ASEAN, the African Union, BRICS, G7, G20, OECD… 19 international organizations weave the world order. In the UN, resolutions pass through the Security Council and General Assembly, and sanctions fall upon aggressors. Buy influence through Official Development Assistance (ODA), rally blocs in votes, and sometimes isolate a single nation in the name of the many.

Nuclear — The Card You Can Never Take Back
Under the shadow of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), the nuclear few coexist with the non-nuclear many. A nation without the bomb can pursue one — at enormous cost and against the fury of the world — but it must first withdraw from the NPT, and the moment it does, relations with every signatory freeze over. Nuclear arms rest on the terror of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) — strongest when held, and losing everything the moment they are used.

The Home Front

No matter how strong you are abroad, if you crumble at home, it's over.

Politics — Power Is Borrowed
Approval is the lifeline you face every single day. Unemployment, inflation, happiness, and war all shake it, and if it falls too low, the shadow of a coup begins to stir. Your nation's regime type (democracy, oligarchy, monarchy, autocracy, theocracy, military junta, and more) changes the very rules of governance. In a democracy, elections arrive every few years, and the winning party's platform reshapes priorities for the entire term. You vote on 92 domestic laws, each leaving a different mark on approval, the economy, and society.

Society — The People Are Not Numbers
Welfare, healthcare, education, pensions — and the minimum wage, working hours, and union rights. Too stingy and happiness cools while strikes spread; too generous and the treasury staggers as rates spike. Immigration fills the labor force but invites friction, while a brain drain eats at your tech edge. An aging population swells healthcare and pension costs. The people judge you not by abstract GDP, but by jobs, wages, and hope for tomorrow.

Living AI Nations

In this world, you are not alone. 196 nations each think, plan, and betray.

The AI nations don't merely react. They move on three layers of strategy. At the deepest level lies each nation's vision (economic hegemon, military hardliner, balanced, diplomatic, resource-dependent, tech pioneer, isolationist); above that sits the disposition of the government brought in by elections, reshaping priorities wholesale for a time; and at the top are active objectives — contain a rival, deepen a bloc, grow the economy, consolidate finances, build up the military, secure resources, ensure regime survival, expand regional influence. Each nation reassesses monthly, yet pushes forward with a conviction that does not easily reverse course.

So a rival's actions reveal flow and intent. Watch a neighbor stack troops on the border for months and rally allies, and you must read their next move. When war erupts or a government falls, the AI immediately rewrites its strategy. A single election result in a rival nation can transform its entire posture for months. The rivals of this world are scheming even while you sleep.

And Deeper Still

Beneath the surface, even more systems interlock and turn.

• Intelligence & espionage — steal technology, scout enemy deployments, destabilize regimes. And the counter-intelligence that stops it.
  
• Cyber warfare — the invisible front that paralyzes power grids, disrupts finance, and topples infrastructure.
  
• Strategic chokepoints & military outposts — the struggle for control over 23 maritime gateways.
  
• Colonial & overseas administration and exploration — claims over uncharted territory and the disputes they ignite.
  
• Rebellion & instability — uprisings that smolder where discontent has piled up.
  
• Foreign direct investment (FDI) & joint ventures — the flow of capital across borders.
  
• News & reporting systems — world events stream in as headlines, reminding you that the world you rule is alive.

At Your Command

Pause anytime, and tune time from 1x to 16x. Race through decades of peaceful prosperity, or savor the single day of a battle that decides a destiny. Everything can be saved and loaded, so you can write the full fifty-year history of a nation to its very end.

Here lies every lever that moves the world. Interest rates and tax rates, divisions and fleets, treaties and votes — and the nuclear button itself. You stand at the center of it all, making your choice in every moment.

The world never stops.

Now, it's your turn.
