This is the real world.

Every nation, exactly where it stands today. Nothing invented, nothing fair.

Frozen on January 1, 2026.

The whole planet, holding its breath, waiting for one player to touch it.

And it is yours to break.

Pick a country on the globe. From that second, its problems are yours.

The pitch

Take control of one nation and run its economy, politics, diplomacy and war on a living 3D globe.

Geoplanetical is a desktop-scale geopolitical simulator. It starts from real-world data and runs with no scripted scenarios. There is no story to follow, only a simulated world reacting to every decision you make.

Living worlds

It does not wait for you.

Look away, and economies crash, alliances flip, wars start without you.

Nobody wrote any of it.

No quests, no plot, no rails. Just a world reacting to itself.

You are not the main character.

You are one hand on a planet that pushes back.

World of Nations

Every nation. Playable.

177 playable countries, each with real borders, economy and politics. Pick any nation on the globe. You are never locked to a handful of superpowers.

Economy & Finance

Write the laws. Watch the economy answer.

Growth, inflation, debt, employment and production all move together. Every figure is simulated live from the laws you write, never hard-coded.

Write the Rules

Rewrite the rules of the regime.

Hundreds of laws and constitutional levers, from how the head of state takes power down to every mandate. Reshape the regime itself, one amendment at a time.

Elections & Politics

Power is never permanent.

Parties, campaigns, electoral colleges, approval ratings. Govern well or lose the next election. All of it fully simulated.

Election Night

Every social group casts its vote.

Seats, coalitions and the scramble to form a government, driven by how retirees, workers and every class actually felt about your rule.

Domestic Unrest & Regime Crises

A crisis can become a collapse.

Protests, strikes and riots build from real social pressure. Repress them, negotiate, or watch unrest escalate into a regime crisis.

Government Duties

A state is more than its leader.

Run public services, police, justice and administration. Capacity, budgets and doctrine shape what the government can actually deliver.

Full Transport Simulation

Trade only moves when the routes do.

Ports, airports, roads, railways and pipelines carry real flows. Build capacity, find bottlenecks and keep the world economy moving.

Intelligence Services & Missions

Know the threat before it moves.

Track organisations, build intelligence files and launch operations. Suspicion, evidence and uncertainty make every mission a calculated risk.

Advanced Nuclear Simulation

Every launch carries the consequences.

Build the deterrent, select targets and face retaliation. Nuclear doctrine models arsenals, survivability and the human cost of every strike.

Deep War Simulation

War runs down to every front.

Theatres, brigades, air and naval balance, supply lines and morale, all linked to real populations and materials, down to every consequence.

Power Grid

Power the nation, plant by plant.

Nuclear, coal, gas, hydro, wind, solar. Build and manage every plant on the map — chase decarbonization or just keep the grid from going dark.

Energy Transition & Fossil Dependence

Prepare the country for life after oil.

Electrify transport and heat, substitute fuels and expand clean supply. The transition is constrained by what the economy can actually deliver.

Electrify · substitute · adapt
Infrastructure dashboard simulating electrification and a transition away from oil

Climate, Weather & Natural Disasters

Heat, drought and demand move together.

Heatwaves, cold snaps, rainfall and disasters reshape energy demand and population safety. Climate runs on its own clock.

Explore World Data

Every layer of the planet, mapped.

Switch the globe into any data map you want and read the world the way a real war room would.

    Disclaimer

    Geoplanetical is fiction. It borrows the real world only as a starting point.

    • If a character resembles a real public figure, that portrayal is fictional caricature and satire, an opinion and not a statement of fact, with no intent to defame.
    • Borders and country names come from public map data (Natural Earth, the UN) because the map had to start somewhere. A line drawn here is not a stance on any territorial dispute.
    • The way it sorts people into social or cultural groups is a simulation shortcut, not a claim about anyone in real life.
    • Parties and ideologies are invented by the game, tied to no real organization.
    • The January 1, 2026 starting numbers are my best guess from public sources. They will be wrong in places, and they carry no official weight.
    • It is a game. Play it for fun, not as analysis, advice, or a read on how the world actually works.
