Reminded of Fate of the World [1], a similar take on the concept from 2011: [1] https://store.steampowered.com/app/80200/Fate_of_the_World/

Fate of the World is certainly more challenging and perhaps honest, although less aspirational. climate induced mass famine and social breakdown is a near inevitability in vanilla Fate of The World. I reallu reccomend the rebalance mod touted in the steam discussions.

I always find it interesting how some cultures or languages seem to treat "socialism" and "communism" as synonyms.

Do you see them as the same thing? Or you think that even though the game references "socialism" you still think it's communist propaganda (as opposed to socialist propaganda).

I really liked this. I feel like I’ve completely solved it, and am now a little pissy that the game stops you from completing your tenure if you achieve your “goal”. I’m curious if the late game space projects are even possible to achieve? Has anyone managed to do it? I think the answer is no because it seemed like even with production optimized investment I wasn’t going to have enough time, but I might try once more…

Ok, shit, finishing my third playthrough bleary eyed and annoyed that I can’t help but win even with 100% coal I just want to see space

Ok, I’ve fully minmaxed this game. Over 16,000 political capital gained in one turn and I think all space tech researched. It’s pretty hard to get this far without accidentally winning.
