All countries have certain statistics that are changed during the time according to certain events which randomly happen in the world. Player must take decisions to maintain the situation in the world, decision making process is represented as actions like – invest money, land money to countries, humanitarian help etc. All these actions will have their resultant outputs on the sititation in the World or in a certain country. Player must have the priority aim to keep the World’s Balance sheet positive.
The aim of the game is to make player understand how hard it is fight the poverty around the world.
