NEW FEATURES

Geopolitical Simulator 5 incorporates new game modes and new features compared to Power & Revolution - Geopolitical Simulator 4:

• New Map
  
  The new 3D world map is 10 times more precise than GPS4, with almost 2 million polygons and more than 10 million grid squares for you to build on along with the ability to zoom in closer to the ground. There are new high-resolution textures (forests, rocks, farmland...) along with the modeling of rivers, lakes, bridges, tunnels, and more than 60 types of buildings (commercial, factories, infrastructures...)
  The military unit movement AI is optimized according to the type of terrain and highways.
• New Macro-Economic Engine
  
  It has been restructured to include the simulation of thousands of worldwide companies that contribute to the GDP of the country, with finer detail on economic exchanges between countries, product shortages and surplus situations, price variation, taxes, embargoes, etc. The engine includes all the buildings present on the world map and in all activity sectors (in GPS4, only the energy sector was included). New sectors have been added: fertilizer, hydrogen, food industry, medical equipment, mobile phones, etc.
• New Interface
  
  The interface has been completely redesigned and revamped to be more dynamic and user-friendly.
  It is designed to adapt to different-sized screens and to make use of their respective configurations, especially for 4K screens or double screens. The player can also choose the scale of the interface for optimal viewing and to pre-position game windows to organize and personalize their space. A generalized information system allows the player to access detailed explanations or additional information on game elements.
• Turmoil Around the Globe
  
  In 2024, points of tension are emerging almost everywhere, threatening to destabilize the global geopolitical equilibrium and whose outcomes are extremely uncertain.
  Four new scenarios to illustrate this chaotic world:
  -US Elections: with the candidate of your choice, you the player run your campaign to win the presidential election and redefine American politics.
  -Threats to the Olympic Games: terrorist organizations redouble their efforts on the Olympic Games in Paris. The player must act quickly to thwart any attempted terrorist attacks.
  -New Data on France: after the surprise dissolution by the French head of state, you become the head of the opposition party or the new head of the French government after legislative elections, with an eye on the presidential election in 2027.
• Simulation of multinational corporations and the player-CEO
  
  More than 3000 major worldwide companies are included along with their real-world data and several thousand others are simulated in all economic sectors and all the countries of the world. As the head of one or more of these companies, you have all the tools and all the information necessary to lead and develop your companies.
  Each company's data is precisely detailed: revenue, market shares, sales by product, competition, shareholders, staffing, balance sheet...
  You must engage in multiple activities within the company: production, commerce, marketing, human resources, finances, taxation, research, security, legal, and politics.
  You'll have advisors in various domains and you can also speak to your banker, shareholder representative, or union leader.
• A wide variety of actions
  
  The game engine calculates in real time all exchanges between companies worldwide and the consumption of products by the population or states using various criteria (purchasing power, price of products, supply and demand, product innovation, quality labels, corporate taxes...).
  The business AI adapts to market fluctuations and tries to capture the market share. States and companies are interconnected, with the corporate GDP impacting State revenue; taxation, economic, and taxation policies of the government influence business directions and results.
  You as the CEO can make many decisions. Some examples include: establishing pay scale, setting employee profit-sharing, regulating working conditions, constructing new factories, recruitment, starting a redundancy, opening retail outlets, signing new agreements with suppliers, determining sale prices, creating new products, sponsoring contracts with celebrities or partnerships during major events, setting budgets for the legal department, research, or cybersecurity, launching a marketing campaign, distribution of dividends to shareholders...
• Managing Conflicts
  
  The union AI responds according to working conditions, business results, sharing the wealth, all within the context of the country. You may have to face minor or major social movements and can respond either by negotiation or on the other hand, by law enforcement intervention.
  Relations with employees determine productivity.
• Financial Strategy
  
  You can challenge the competition by promoting their products or modifying the price, for example, but there are also different financial strategies to follow: acquiring shares, increasing capital for development, attempting a takeover bid for a competing company, publicly offering an unlisted company, creating subsidiaries worldwide, etc.
• The Seedy Underbelly
  
  There is also a whole arsenal of dirty tricks, like in the real world, with the risk of backfiring on the perpetrator if they are discovered: payment of kickbacks, tax evasion, tax fraud, illegal price fixing, political lobbying to encourage lawmakers to vote for laws that favor the interests of the multinational company.
  By playing as both the head of state and head of a company, you can use the secret services of the country to conduct industrial espionage or launch a cyberattack on competing businesses.
• Grandeur and decadence through several scenarios
  
  You can also dream big: become one of the biggest multinational corporations in the world, acquire a personal fortune and become part of the billionaire class, engage in politics, and win elections.
  But the road to glory is fraught with dangers: bankruptcy, removal by disappointed shareholders, salary disputes that turn ugly, or absorption by a competing consortium.
  Various scenarios include some of these situations: Initial Public Offering, Hostile Takeover, Top 10! Etc.
