In an alternate Cold War-era world teetering on the brink of collapse, you ascend as the leader of a nation fractured by ideological divides and resource scarcity. The discovery of Vulkan-7, a revolutionary energy source buried beneath disputed territories, ignites a global arms race. But this "miracle" fuel carries a dark secret: prolonged extraction awakens seismic horrors that threaten to shatter continents. As president, you’ll navigate a web of espionage, rebel insurgencies, and shadowy alliances while confronting the moral cost of progress. Will you unite humanity under a new world order, exploit chaos for supremacy, or become a pawn of the enigmatic Leviathan Group pulling strings from the shadows?
Gameplay
1. Resource Echo System – Overharvesting resources triggers environmental blowback: drain an oil field too fast, and it spawns toxic wastelands that cripple neighboring regions. Balance exploitation with sustainable tech to avoid global condemnation.
2. Ideological Contagion – Your nation’s policies (e.g., religious mandates, free speech laws) spread virally to allied states. Force-feeding democracy may backfire, inspiring coups that install puppet regimes hostile to your ideals.
3. Covert Statecraft – Deploy diplomats as double agents to sabotage rivals’ trade deals or frame them for false-flag attacks. Get caught, and your cabinet’s loyalty fractures.
Key Features
1. Dynamic Rival AI – Competing leaders evolve strategies: pacifist neighbors militarize if bullied, while aggressive foes feign weakness to lure you into resource traps.
2. Environmental Backlash – Natural disasters escalate based on policies—clear-cutting forests spawns locust plagues; overfishing triggers coastal rebellions.
3. Shadow Diplomacy – Negotiate secret pacts in underground bunkers, bypassing public scrutiny. But leaked documents turn allies into vengeful enemies.
Pro Tips
1. The 5-Year Collapse – Let resource reserves drop below 5% for five years to trigger a "Desperation Pact," granting temporary boosts from shady cartels… at a future cost.
2. False Prophet Gambit – Sponsor a fringe religious movement in a rival nation; if it gains 30% support, it destabilizes their laws, forcing them to beg for your aid.
3. Leviathan Bait – Provoke the Leviathan Group by nationalizing key industries—their retaliatory hacks expose vulnerabilities you can exploit to steal advanced tech.
