As the most important person in the country, you will need to make appointments with the well-known figures of your country, make visits and attend various events. View your planner, turn the pages and select from the options to book appointments, cancel them or rearrange them. Plan to meet up with leaders of rival or ally nations, union representatives, deputies or ministers. Offer bribes or champagne, congratulate them, or tell them to toe the line. Negotiate with unions, ask for votes on a bill, or call on personalities to vote for you in the next election.

For the first time on PC the Geo-Political Simulator Game (GPS) is an ultra-real simulation of our world and its politics, from now until the end of the century. Energy, security, economy, environment, strategy, diplomatic alliances, culture policy, intelligence, infrastructure – anything could make you the greatest political leader of the 21st century ... if you stay in power!

You're in charge. You have the power. But do you have what it takes?

Geo-Political Simulator will be released in the UK on PC by Eversim in Q4.
