New Content for the 2019 Edition

• Simulations of major global threats
  The Geopolitical Simulator 2019 Edition simulates all the major perils that threaten the planet and produces a comprehensive assessment for each one from the results along with specific graphics. The list of threats is substantial and many of them are interconnected: global warming, the widening of social inequality, the risk of global atomic war, overpopulation, unemployment, atmospheric pollution, terrorism, cybercrime, regional conflicts, food insecurity, world hunger, deforestation, natural disasters (storms, floods, drought, extreme heat...), rising sea levels, ocean acidity, disappearance of animal species, climate refugees, epidemics, endocrine-disrupting chemicals…
• Global Warming
  One specific scenario, "Global Warming", based on the goals of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), has the objective of limiting global warming to 1.5° Celsius for 2100, and to reduce CO2 emissions by 45% by the year 2030. As the head of the 30 largest CO2 emitters, initiate a global energetic transition by pursuing policies on infrastructures (dismantling of thermal power industries, constructing power plants with renewable energies…), finance (taxes on petroleum products, carbon tax...), the environment, innovations (CO2 capture, development of electric vehicles…)… and all while avoiding energy shortages and maintaining a balanced budget as well as social stability!
• Chaos 2030
  In this free-mode, futuristic and dystopic game mode, nations have turned inward and have opted for more radical governments, some of whom have gained access to nuclear weapons. Relations between these states are strained, are sources of conflict and key international organizations have been dissolved. The fight against global warming has failed: temperature curves are showing a rise of 7° in 2100 and serious consequences are being felt. With an unprecedented economic crisis and a growth in social inequality, people are on edge, political upheavals are increasing and terrorist organizations are growing on this fertile ground of instability.

New legislations and features

• The possibility of a tax on cannabis if it is legalized and its economic sector is opened

• Management of the electric car and self-driving vehicle industry
• The possibility of dismantling infrastructures on the map
• Closing and re-opening of nuclear power plants
• New technology: self-driving cars, hyperloop train (at more than 1000 km/h, constructible on the map), CO2 capture plants, high-density batteries, third generation nuclear power plant (EPR) ; and the addition of progress levels for scientific research.
• Simulation of electricity shortages.
• Quantification of illegal economic sectors (drugs)
• Proliferation of riots in the region
• New displays, new comparative maps: global warming temperature curves up to the year 2100; social inequality; malnourished populations; terrorist threats; deaths due to drug use; environmental maps including forested areas, deforestation, organically cultivated areas; maps related to women's rights (salary equality, practice of female circumcision).
• Game option of whether or not to include actual historic results in calculating election results.
• New achievements.
