players
to control entire countries. Players control countries in 3 major areas:
political,
economic and military, but this time, in a beautiful real-time 3D environment.

while
competing against sophisticated A.I. Along the way, gamers make use of
economic
sanctions, political alliances, and military actions to wage their battles.
