Politics & War

Hal August 07, 2022 at 01:29 am

A nation sim game similar to Cyber Nations, which preceded it (which itself was preceded by NationStates, created by the author of the novel Jennifer Government). As a third generation nation sim game, it benefits from many of the lessons learned from its predecessors.

That said, its admin enjoys the income he receives from donations to the game a little too well. He actively encourages players to spend real life money in large quantities (up to $99.99/month) to enable interface features and to more rapidly develop their nation. As a result, while it is still possible to enjoy the game without making donations, as a player's nation grows, they will become increasing frustrated with the slow pace of development beyond a certain level.

As with Cyber Nations, this is not a game to play if you are looking for fancy graphics. It is browser-based (though there is an app that allows for play with some limitations on a smart phone or tablet), mostly text-based game. As with similar nation sims, expect to spend a lot of time on Discord talking to other players at times, especially if you are in alliance government. Alliance membership is mandatory if you expect to have a good time playing the game at any level. Raids for resources and cash on independent nations and nations in small alliances that don't have protectorate agreements with larger alliances are frequent. Indeed, they are encouraged in a number of ways by the game admin.

It's difficult to recommend this game unless you have deep pockets. However, if you don't care about building the biggest nation with the most cities or at least reaching the top tiers, it's still possible to have fun playing.

This game is awful. Expect to be heavily taxed to join an alliance or to get attacked literally 20 times a day by the same players even when they get 0 gain from attacking you. Its obvious the players are excessively board.

the game is really awesome it makes me fill like a leader and shows me how a nation is being ruled.

Join Rose, we're the best alliance in the game, we are good at wars and have 0% tax yet give out funding for every city and all projects.

Hello guys, I am Nao the guy who is the best player in this game. If you play this game, I can assure you that you will not end up infected by any Abbas, just the ones which are made by the obnoxious Uranicas Socialitas and Green Protection Agency alliances. I highly suspect that both of these Shellhounds are simply just running multies on an unprecedented scale however I am having issues tracking them down. Would anyone like to hmu on kik on how to get rid of these guys so that my game can be just like Bloc and more like saetonn?

This game is a rip-off. Just been asked to pay 2 credits ($9.75) so I can display the English national flag on my nation page. For some reason the owner of this site doesn't recognise England as a nation yet I could have the Welsh and Scottish flag for free?

I've been playing this game for a little over 400 days. In that time I have served in 3 major wars, served 3 terms in government, and have even become vice-leader in an alliance of over 100 members. This game has a real knack for serving players of all kinds. Those like me, who have nothing better to do, and those who have lives and merely wish to be the occasional roleplayer.

Abbas July 09, 2015 at 04:55 pm

I am the great Caliph Abbasmehdi, leader of the Islamic State Of Orbis. We at ISIS have come to Orbis and have created the great alliance Uranicus Socialitas, anybody who does not join shall be beheaded, as Islam is a religion of peace.

For Ramadan, we fast. Instead of eating we use the time to play PW and convert people to Islam, Allah is the truth, ISIS is great!

Great is Allah! Great is Abbastopia! Great is Uranicus Socialitas!

Hello. I am Grealind, I am a player of this game and I am buying the game from Sheepy in the near future. I hope to bring new life to the game once I do and fix all the exploits and ban those awful exploiters.

I've had large amount of experance as an admin, when I ran a game of the same type, I saw new life there and it became greater then ever before. I hope to bring that glory here and make PW the best game on Earth, with Grealind as admin, we can do it!

The Truth July 07, 2015 at 09:57 pm

Currently there are players who have the ability to spawn money and other things out of thin air. This game is broken and should not be played until it is fixed.

Sorry for everyone who wanted to post nice things, but this is the truth. Until the cheaters are discovered, the exploit fixed, and everything put back to normal, DO NOT waste your time on this game.

I'm also using my in-game name :D. Politics and War is honestly a fantastic game, and it's an absolute blast to play. Not only can you build your own nation, but the politics between alliances and nations are truly dynamic and interesting, and there are a whole lot of great communities in P&W.

Using my PW name here. Politics and war is a great game that allows you to make a nation and manage its resources and economy by building your nation's infra which will increase the population and land that is needed to produce food for your citizen's. The more infra you get the more improvements you can buy ( you get 1 improvement slot per 50 infra) which can go from raw resource improvs such as coal and iron to improvs that cam refine your raw resources into steel and ammunition. You can also join alliances filled with veteran players who can help you buold your nation and teach you how to play and give you a chance to join a good community. Every alliance is different with their own set of guides and way of playing. So join pw now and join in on the fun.
