Are you are an armchair political pundit? Maybe you find politics a snooze. Either way, you’re likely to find some entertainment at Max Barry’s “Nation States,” a free on-line nation simulation game where you build your own country, starting from scratch. Miffed at the United Nations? Then withdraw and exist as a rogue state. Negotiate trade with other countries on the message board, make decisions on gun laws, capital punishment, decide separation or inclusion of church and state. Your decisions will make or break your country.
Come on, it may be your once-in-a-lifetime chance to negotiate world peace, or take a different path and become a dictator. Ah, the power!
