Games like NS?

Are there any other games out there, commercial or otherwise, that are like NS?

Perhaps a bit more complicated, preferably with some sort of graphics and an ability to wage war?

Something along the lines of Starcraft or an RTS, but combined with some sort of Nationsim, like Sim City, and control over Politics and economy like in NS with less micromanagement than an RTS war game?

I know there's a game called CountrySim, but it's really complicated, and I could never really get the hang of it.

Thanks.

Particracy

Provided there's space for you. Either ask on the forum or something if there isn't. Ability to wage war should be coming in either weeks or a couple months (not really a couple, more like an orgy)

I've been looking around for a governmental simulation game and haven't found anything. And I don't mean something like Civilization. I mean really, really detailed.

Please...don't YOU want easy nations to win over when your nation gets the ability to wage war? :D

It'll be fun to override those that banned nuclear weapons. Oh they'll love their peaceful forgein policies...MWAHAHAHAHA

SuperPower 2 (http://www.superpower2game.com) and Rise of Nations: Thrones & Patriots.

SuperPower 2 lets you play any nation you want on Earth, with could over lots of areas internally, but focuses on International Affairs, mainly WAR!!! (Especially good if you use the online multiplayer mode)

I checked out Particracy, and while it looks neat, it doesn't really give me too much control over the country, it seems a little long on the political aspect of things, and short on the economy and war aspect.

I don't really want to run a democracy. ;)

Thanks anyways, though, and I may end up playing it anyways.

I want more parties like ours: pro-military might, and economy.

Oh, and we could always counter the nuclear disarmament conference, with nuclear armament pact, think about it, what could they do, they've forfeited their nuclear weapons.

Earth 2025, which was on that list, seems neat, but a little long on war and economy and short on politics. Maybe I'm being too picky.

Now WAIT just a minute! I KNOW's you did not just suggest the possibility of a game better than NS? Good. 'Cos I KNOW you ain't never going to say that. RIGHT?!
