Following the fall of the mighty Soviet Union, the Republic of Novistrana verges on collapse and numerous factions struggle for power. Starting with nothing more than a small base of local support, you must build a nationwide faction powerful enough to start a revolution, and oust the President… by any means necessary.
Starting with a single loyal supporter, a tiny secret HQ and a very small base of local support, you must build up a nationwide faction powerful enough to overthrow the President and rule the Republic of Novistrana.
Other factions each with their own agendas will be vying for power with you. And of course, most formidably of all, the President will go to any lengths necessary to hold onto power. Persuade, hire and recruit all manner of specialist characters to your cause or use less ethical methods such as brainwashing or blackmailing to achieve your aims. These characters range from Army generals to TV film stars to Archbishops.
Players may follow different strands of play, allowing them to play as politicians, businessmen, criminals, religious leaders or generals. Behave as ruthlessly or as compassionately as you want! The choice is yours – but beware as every decision has its consequences and repercussions.
Influence the general populace through your key supporters by using them to instigate actions. Hundreds of exciting and diverse actions to order and orchestrate from vast rallies and riots to secret police ‘hits’ to broadcasting news propaganda.
