PLAYABLE PROTOTYPE · EARLY DEVELOPMENT · VISUALS NOT FINAL
A large foundation already exists.
Mechanics do not all share the same maturity. This page distinguishes what is playable now, in early implementation, in development and working underneath as system foundation.
World & History
A real 2016, played honestly — including the parts other games leave out.
The campaign begins with 263 playable political entities, real leaders and cabinets where verified, and explicit gaps where the record is uncertain. Historical pivots can follow the record or move the world onto another path.
Countries & leadersDATA-01PLAYABLE NOW263 playable countries and territories with a no-fabrication naming policy.
+
The roster includes contested and unrecognized entities. Verified names are used where the record supports them; uncertainty is labeled instead of invented.
Historical pivotsEVENT-01PLAYABLE NOWReal 2016 turning points become decisions rather than fixed cutscenes.
+
Brexit, the US election and Turkey's coup attempt can follow history or branch into an alternate outcome with real relationship consequences.

Alternate history panelEVENT-03PLAYABLE NOWCompare the current campaign with the real 2016 baseline.
+
The panel tracks divergence for the player's country and major powers instead of reducing alternate history to flavor text.
Climate riskEVENT-04PLAYABLE NOWNamed disasters damage the economy and public trust; resilience reduces the impact.
+
A dedicated resilience system turns climate and disaster events into a budgeted strategic risk.
Multi-stage event chainsEVENT-02EARLY IMPLEMENTATIONChoices can determine which connected crisis appears later.
+
Branching chains are integrated, but part of the current content remains Russian-only.
Officeholders research archiveDATA-03SYSTEM FOUNDATIONStructured historical research exists beyond the currently playable roster.
+
This is research material for future coverage, not live game content and not counted as a player-facing feature.
Orders & State Action
Say what you want to do. The state decides whether — and how — it happens.
A free-form order is interpreted immediately, but also enters a real institutional process. Constitutional authority, responsible institutions, named ministers, workload and funding determine what can actually be delivered.
Free-form ordersCORE-11 / ORD-01PLAYABLE NOWWrite state action in natural language instead of choosing from a fixed list.
+
One order feeds an immediate interpreted consequence and a separate institutional execution track.
Orders through the bureaucracySP-01PLAYABLE NOWMajor orders become staged cases with ministers, documents, meetings and time.
+
The decision archive shows the responsible officials and the progress of execution over game weeks or months.
Constitutional authorityGOV-02PLAYABLE NOWThe office you hold is not automatically allowed to do everything alone.
+
Orders can require parliament, a court or another institution; forcing an action through carries political cost.

Ambiguity & opinion filterORD-02PLAYABLE NOWQuestions and vague input are redirected before they spend a turn.
+
The Advisor can clarify intent before the order reaches the world simulation.
Effect ownershipFOUND-07SYSTEM FOUNDATIONImmediate narration and later execution are prevented from double-counting the same action.
+
The reconciliation layer currently covers the most important institutional order categories and continues to expand.
Government & Institutions
A cabinet of real people, not a dropdown menu.
Named ministers have competence, loyalty and corruption that affect the government they serve. Formal institutions can support, delay or weaken the player's decisions.
Cabinet & ministersGOV-01PLAYABLE NOWMinister quality changes income, negotiation, military losses and unrest risk.
+
The current roster contains 1,306 minister records across 224 countries, with typed reasons for every unfilled post.
Institutional rosterDATA-02PLAYABLE NOWCabinet data is historical where verified and transparent where incomplete.
+
The same roster feeds cabinet panels, institutional execution and named domestic events.

Legal document engineGOV-03SYSTEM FOUNDATIONA tested lifecycle for laws, treaties and communiqués exists beneath the product.
+
It is not connected to live document flows yet and is not presented as a player-facing archive.
Institution workloadFOUND-12IN DEVELOPMENTInstitutions track workload behind policy execution.
+
This real engine has no dedicated player-facing screen yet; it supports the broader implementation model.
Politics & Parliament
Political authority has to be negotiated, not assumed.
Every country has a functional parliamentary baseline. Named-party runtime and data exist for more than 35 countries, while the cinematic-quality Parliament presentation currently exists for Ukraine only.
Parliament & factionsPOL-01PLAYABLE NOWA universal four-faction parliament handles legislative support.
+
Orders requiring legislative backing create a negotiation with the political forces that can approve or block them.
Named-party parliamentsPOL-02EARLY IMPLEMENTATIONMore than 35 countries have real party-level runtime and data.
+
Coverage is functional and data-oriented; it must not be confused with 35 cinematic Parliament scenes.
ElectionsPOL-04PLAYABLE NOWScheduled elections can reshape the legislature the player must work with.
+
Election outcomes are deterministic game systems, not AI-authored narrative decisions.

Ukraine Parliament presentationPOL-03EARLY IMPLEMENTATIONUkraine is the current cinematic Parliament showcase.
+
It is the only finished cinematic-quality parliamentary presentation today; other supported countries use functional data views.
Ideology compatibilityPOL-05SYSTEM FOUNDATIONPolitical alignment quietly shapes diplomatic compatibility.
+
The model works underneath relations and has no dedicated player-facing panel.
Domestic political crisesEVENT-05EARLY IMPLEMENTATIONCabinet names and internal conditions feed scandals and unrest.
+
The system is integrated, while part of its current scripted content remains Russian-only.
Documented direction: expand deep-party and cinematic presentation beyond the current Ukraine showcase without implying that expansion is already complete.
Economy & State Finance
A real budget, a real treasury, and consequences that follow both.
National spending, sanctions, trade, commodities and infrastructure feed the same economic state. Numbers are resolved by deterministic formulas rather than narrative hand-waving.
National budgetECO-01PLAYABLE NOWAllocate finite spending across six national priorities.
+
The treasury, debt and future performance respond to the shares committed to defense, diplomacy, economy, society, science and intelligence.
Sanctions & trade agreementsECO-03PLAYABLE NOWInternational pressure produces itemized effects on income and output.
+
Sanctions are monthly economic mechanics, not a temporary text modifier.
Commodity marketsECO-04PLAYABLE NOWFive commodities move with the world economy.
+
Price changes create meaningful exposure for resource-dependent countries.
Explore more systems +
InfrastructureECO-06PLAYABLE NOWRoads, rail and energy investment compound into long-term growth.
+
Infrastructure is a dedicated, connected economic system rather than a one-time bonus.
Deterministic macro tickECO-02EARLY IMPLEMENTATIONGrowth, inflation and debt resolve through bounded monthly formulas.
+
The same calculation behaves consistently across short turns and long time jumps.
Treasury program executionFOUND-13IN DEVELOPMENTAppropriated money must move through an actual program account.
+
This execution layer is implemented beneath the UI but is not yet exposed as a separate player-facing feature.
Society & Internal Stability
The public is not a single trust number.
Institutional trust, legitimacy, polarization, protest potential, war fatigue, cost-of-living pressure and inequality move from the country's actual conditions and delivered policy.
Internal stability modelFOUND-01 / SocietyEARLY IMPLEMENTATIONEconomic pressure, war and government performance shape public mood monthly.
+
The player experiences the consequences through trust, elections, protests and crises; there is no dedicated Society panel today.
Explore more systems +
War fatigue & legitimacySociety pressureSYSTEM FOUNDATIONSustained conflict weakens more than the treasury.
+
War fatigue can feed regime legitimacy and domestic political pressure over time.
Policy delivery & trustDelivered servicesSYSTEM FOUNDATIONThe public reacts to delivered value, not only announced intent.
+
Weak execution and leakage reduce the social benefit of a policy even when the order itself sounded successful.
Diplomacy & International Order
Real conversations, real relationships, real consequences for what you say.
Free-text negotiation sits inside a wider diplomatic order: bilateral relations, organizations, summits, alliance obligations and dialogue memory all connect to the same world state.
Diplomatic negotiationsDIP-05PLAYABLE NOWWrite proposals directly and receive relationship-aware replies.
+
Conversation is not a menu of prewritten choices; the country and previous exchange shape the response.
International organizationsDIP-02PLAYABLE NOWNine organizations have membership rules and real consequences.
+
Alliance membership can create binding war-entry obligations rather than a decorative badge.
Global summitsDIP-03PLAYABLE NOWMultilateral outcomes resolve through deterministic voting rules.
+
Dialogue can frame a summit, but fixed rules decide the result.
Relations & alliancesDIP-01PLAYABLE NOWHistorical relations and blocs shape every international interaction.
+
The relationship model feeds conversation tone, eligibility and future diplomatic behavior.
Explore more systems +
Dialogue memoryDIP-04PLAYABLE NOWPromises and subjects persist between conversations.
+
Memory is stored per relationship so future exchanges can refer to what was already said.
Secure LineDIP-08PLAYABLE NOWA produced voice-call surface exists in the full build.
+
It is a distinct negotiation channel, though special evaluation builds may gate it.
Group diplomacyDIP-06EARLY IMPLEMENTATIONMulti-party negotiation reuses the established diplomatic channel.
+
The system is functional but does not yet have a bespoke presentation of its own.
Diplomatic personasDIP-09EARLY IMPLEMENTATIONSix major powers currently have deeper written personalities.
+
The rest of the world uses a coherent generic voice; broad 234-country persona coverage must not be claimed.
Intelligence & Covert Action
Not every order is public. Some take months, and some can be discovered.
Intelligence and propaganda operations have success and discovery mechanics. Longer hybrid operations can escalate into real crises, while secret deals form a separate, still-maturing covert channel.
Intelligence operationsINT-01PLAYABLE NOWLaunch targeted operations and propaganda campaigns from a dedicated panel.
+
Operations use real success and discovery rules rather than narrative certainty.
Hybrid operationsINT-02PLAYABLE NOWLong-running covert campaigns build progress and risk over time.
+
Crossing a real threshold can trigger a separatist or security crisis with further consequences.
Explore more systems +
Secret dealsINT-03EARLY IMPLEMENTATIONNegotiate covert political and diplomatic arrangements.
+
Some deal types already create recurring mechanical consequences. No exact working-type count is published until the source inconsistency is resolved.
War & Military Power
War already exists as a simulation system.
Campaigns, deterministic combat, territorial control, settlements and nuclear escalation are playable now. Current development is transforming that foundation into a richer operational and visual experience.
War campaignsWAR-01PLAYABLE NOWDeclare, join, negotiate or end coalition conflicts.
+
Campaign state connects belligerents, spending, losses, territory and settlement into one lifecycle.
Frontlines & territorial controlWAR-03PLAYABLE NOWProvince-level territory changes from real campaign outcomes.
+
The live map reflects control rather than showing a disconnected decorative front.
Peace settlementsWAR-04PLAYABLE NOWWars end through negotiated or forced terms.
+
White peace, capped reparations, puppet arrangements and annexation resolve through the same settlement system.
Nuclear weaponsWAR-05PLAYABLE NOWA blunt whole-country escalation, not a tactical strike simulator.
+
The strike affects economy, population, military and infrastructure; retaliatory capability can answer automatically.
Explore more systems +
Combat resolutionWAR-02PLAYABLE NOWArmy strength and terrain determine deterministic losses and territorial movement.
+
Critical combat numbers do not call an AI.
War map presentationMAP-02PLAYABLE NOWActive conflicts have a focused strategic and operational map mode.
+
The presentation reads the same live campaign and territorial-control data as the simulation.
Border garrisonsWAR-06EARLY IMPLEMENTATIONMap markers communicate tension and readiness near borders.
+
They are a readable posture layer, not a separate unit-level combat simulation.
Presentation evolving: current work deepens the operational view and visual clarity on top of the existing war system. Current visuals are not final.
Technology, Industry & Resources
What a country builds and sells shapes what it can do.
Research, material production, resource exports and arms trade feed the same economic and military position instead of living as isolated bonus screens.
Technology treeTECH-01PLAYABLE NOWFour research branches produce live military, economic and social effects.
+
Every current effect key is connected to real state changes.
Arms dealsECO-07PLAYABLE NOWBuy and sell military equipment with per-buyer detail.
+
The arms market changes the military data that later feeds combat.
Explore more systems +
Resource trade flowsECO-05EARLY IMPLEMENTATIONTrack production and export position separately from commodity prices.
+
The dedicated resource panel is functional while deeper trade interaction remains limited.
Research & national capacityIndustry linkSYSTEM FOUNDATIONTechnology compounds into numbers used across the wider simulation.
+
Research outcomes are read by economic, military and social systems rather than existing only in the tech panel.
Non-State Actors & Internal Power
Power inside a country is not only the government's.
Oligarchs and elites form a visible domestic power base, while named non-state actors exert pressure through a background simulation that currently has no direct management screen.
Oligarchs & elitesNSA-02PLAYABLE NOWPower brokers have loyalty, sectors, demands and passive effects.
+
The player can bribe, suppress or nationalize against elite interests. The displayed coup-risk indicator is not marketed as a functioning oligarch-triggered coup mechanic.
Explore more systems +
Non-state actorsNSA-01SYSTEM FOUNDATIONFourteen named 2016 groups run a pressure and threat model.
+
Their effects surface indirectly through instability and crises; the player cannot currently address them as countries.
Internal power consequencesElite pressurePLAYABLE NOWDemands, bribery, suppression and nationalization change the domestic balance.
+
Passive sector effects make elite relationships mechanically relevant beyond a single interaction.
Living World & Autonomous Countries
You control one country. All the others still make decisions.
Every non-player country sets monthly budget priorities from war, sanctions, inflation and public trust using the same economic model as the player.
Autonomous countriesAUTO-01SYSTEM FOUNDATIONNon-player governments react to their own conditions every month.
+
Their budget decisions feed the same deterministic simulation rather than a simplified background shortcut.
Explore more systems +
Condition-driven prioritiesWorld reactionSYSTEM FOUNDATIONWar, sanctions and domestic pressure change what other governments prioritize.
+
The player experiences this indirectly through countries whose economic and political trajectories continue without direct interaction.
AI & Free-Form Interaction
AI reads what you write. Deterministic engines decide what happens.
The World Judge, Advisor and Rephrase tools share provider routing, safety and offline fallback. AI interprets language, while combat, elections, constitutional legality and bounded numeric systems remain deterministic.
World JudgeAI-04PLAYABLE NOWTurns player intent into a contextual consequence and narrative response.
+
The result is constrained before it can touch state values and runs alongside institutional execution.
AdvisorAI-08PLAYABLE NOWAsk strategic questions without issuing an order or spending a turn.
+
The Advisor provides deterministic guidance and can use an AI provider when available.
Explore more systems +
Three-layer safety clampAI-07PLAYABLE NOWAI-generated numeric changes pass three independent ceilings.
+
Only values that survive every bound can reach the real game state.
Provider routingAI-01PLAYABLE NOWFive supported providers can power the language layer.
+
Routing is shared across the current AI-backed tools rather than duplicated per feature.
Key securityAI-02PLAYABLE NOWPlayer-supplied keys use encrypted, OS-backed storage.
+
This is a security and diligence point, not a gameplay card with a screenshot.
Offline fallbackAI-06PLAYABLE NOWNetwork or provider failure does not hard-block the simulation.
+
The game can continue with deterministic fallback behavior.
RephraseAI-09PLAYABLE NOWPolish a rough order draft before submitting it.
+
Rephrase changes wording, not the deterministic authority of the order.
Simulation Under the Surface
Orders are not magic. Institutions must execute them.
The calculation layer underneath the visible panels handles time, capacity, money movement, corruption and explainable cause and effect. It is represented collectively because most of it has no screen of its own.
SYSTEM FOUNDATION · NO VISUAL YET
Time is deterministicFOUND-01EARLY IMPLEMENTATIONEquivalent monthly progression and long jumps are designed to produce the same outcome.

Some of this groundwork is built ahead of player-facing features and is disclosed as foundation, not as finished play.
How the systems connect.
GEOSTATE is not a collection of independent panels. Decisions move through connected political, economic and institutional consequences.
War
Conflict → losses & spending → economy → war fatigue → political pressure
Sanctions
Pressure → trade & income → treasury → growth → domestic consequences
Cabinet
Minister quality → institutional execution → delays & leakage → policy outcome
Autonomous world
Country conditions → priorities → budget → changing state

Playable foundation.
Presentation evolving.
GEOSTATE is a playable prototype in early development. Many major systems already exist mechanically; several still need deeper integration, balancing, content coverage and a substantial visual transformation.
Parliament: named-party runtime and data for more than 35 countries; cinematic-quality presentation currently exists for Ukraine only.
War: campaigns, combat, territorial control, settlements and nuclear escalation already exist. Current work is about a richer operational and visual experience.
