Controls & screens
You steer the whole world from one 3D globe and a set of top tabs. Drag to rotate, scroll to zoom, click a nation to inspect or act on it, and let the clock advance in quarterly turns.
How it works
The globe is the main surface: drag to rotate the planet, scroll to zoom in and out, and click any country to select it. Selecting your own nation opens your domestic controls; selecting another nation is how you start diplomacy, trade, war or espionage with it. World news streams in one corner and the live power rankings sit in another, so you always see how you stack up against everyone else.
The top tabs split your government into the areas you manage — politics, economy, military and diplomacy — and each holds the levers for that domain (tax and budget, industry sectors, force building, treaties and relations). Changes you make there feed the same simulation the AI reads, so the tabs and the AI chief of staff are two ways to touch the exact same numbers.
Time moves in quarterly turns rather than all at once, which gives the economy, stability and relations room to react between your decisions. You can act at any point during play — the world keeps simulating, news keeps arriving, and your rank updates continuously until the 2050 finale.
