I love Nation States so much but I just cant get my fix here. two issues a day is not enough !


any console games? PC games? that allow you to be a Government leader. also I am not looking for a real time strategy game like Command and Conquer or age of Empires.

The closest approximation I can come up with is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperPower


Its pretty interesting, however you have to choose an existing nation to be...I dont think there is one where you get to make your own...

Any particular era interest you?(modern, American civil war, WWI, WWII, Crimean, Middle Ages,etc)
Since you said nothing about turn based..

Civilization I-IV
Galactic Civilization I or II
are good

I'd beware of Civilization IV, it's probably the most addictive game ever created.
:D
Facebook has an application that's basically the same thing as Nation States as far as actually making decisions.

Cybernations is a bit like Nationstates, and the game Superpower 2.

What is Nationstates? You mean to say there's a game attached to these forums :eek:

In terms of similar online games, Cybernations (and NS2, obviously!) are options. However, I found them extremely dull. In terms of offline games that are proper simulations, there is a game, called "Democracy" or something (now I think of it, I think there's "Democracy 2" out), but thats a lot more technical with you having to balance budgets, keep different sections of the electorate on your side etc. There's a demo available which I downloaded and like, and I think you can buy it online and download it. Though I don't think it includes war (or maybe that just wasn't on the demo) but to me thats a bonus.

Europa Universalis III. With Napoleon's Ambition and In Nomine.

Not exactly like NationStates. More like an awesome video game I just happen to feel like mentioning.

I remember a game called "The 3rd/third Millennium".
It´s very old.
I can't seem to find any info on it though.
I do know it was shipped with a multitude of cd´s,
one for every language in UK.
Welsh,Scottish and English.
