About the game
After a period of major internal unrest, the nation is contested by four rival factions, each determined to seize control and be recognized as the sole legitimate government. You will lead one of these factions and must guide it toward international recognition. But don’t be fooled: military strength alone won’t be enough. You will need to weave skillful diplomatic relations, build a solid economy, and maintain strong popular support. Will you be able to assert your Status in the complex global geopolitical arena? —description from the designer
