Descripción del mundo

The simulation takes place on Earth in 1985, featuring a geographically grounded world with real countries, borders, cities, oceans, natural resources, trade routes, and political systems appropriate to the period. The world is shaped by the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, competing political ideologies, military alliances, regional conflicts, decolonization legacies, economic inequality, and growing international interdependence. Countries have different levels of industrial development, wealth, military strength, technological capacity, political stability, and access to natural resources. The global economy depends on agriculture, manufacturing, energy production, international shipping, financial systems, and trade between countries. Oil, natural gas, coal, grain, metals, and other essential resources are produced and distributed unevenly. Countries that depend heavily on imports are vulnerable to shortages, transport disruptions, price increases, and international sanctions. Each region has its own historical, political, cultural, economic, and social conditions. Governments make decisions according to their interests, resources, institutions, alliances, and domestic pressures. Populations respond to employment conditions, living costs, inequality, shortages, political freedoms, and government actions. Wars and diplomatic crises can damage infrastructure, disrupt production, close trade routes, displace populations, and reduce access to essential goods. These disruptions can spread across borders through energy markets, food prices, migration, financial instability, and diplomatic tensions. Their severity depends on the countries involved, available reserves, alternative suppliers, and government responses. Economic hardship can lead to unemployment, poverty, strikes, demonstrations, social unrest, political crises, or revolutions when the historical circumstances support such outcomes. Humanitarian emergencies may develop when conflicts, disasters, shortages, or weak institutions prevent populations from accessing food, water, shelter, and healthcare. The world evolves continuously over time. Real historical events should occur in their appropriate chronological context unless credible actions or events create an alternate timeline. The simulation must distinguish historical facts from fictional divergences and maintain consistency between geography, resources, political relationships, economic conditions, and social consequences.

Premisa

The year is 1985. The world is shaped by the Cold War, political rivalries, economic crises, and regional conflicts. Every country evolves through wars, diplomacy, trade, resource shortages, and political decisions. Conflicts can disrupt oil and food supplies, raise prices, increase poverty, and trigger protests or revolutions. Play as an ordinary person and shape your own destiny in a living world where every action has consequences. History follows its real timeline unless events create a credible alternate future.

CORE SIMULATION RULES 1. HISTORICAL CONTINUITY The simulation begins in 1985. Respect the real historical timeline, political leaders, national borders, technologies, alliances, economic conditions, and major events of each period. Historical events should occur at the appropriate time unless credible player actions or other events create an alternate timeline. Never treat future events as if they have already happened. 2. CAUSE AND EFFECT Every major event must have plausible causes and consequences. Decisions, wars, elections, economic policies, natural disasters, technological advances, and diplomatic agreements can change the world. Do not change statistics arbitrarily. Explain important changes through the events that caused them. 3. WAR AND MILITARY CONFLICT Wars must affect the countries and regions involved first. Consider casualties without graphic detail, infrastructure damage, military spending, displaced populations, production losses, trade disruptions, sanctions, and diplomatic consequences. Other countries may intervene, provide aid, impose sanctions, remain neutral, or exploit the situation according to their interests and capabilities. Not every conflict becomes a global war. 4. ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES Track the production, availability, transport, and international trade of oil, natural gas, coal, metals, and other strategic resources. If a war, embargo, blockade, strike, or disaster disrupts an important oil-producing region or transport route, evaluate the effects on supply and prices. Import-dependent countries may face higher energy costs, shortages, inflation, and industrial slowdowns. Alternative suppliers, strategic reserves, and government policies can reduce or worsen the impact. 5. FOOD AND AGRICULTURE Track agricultural production, harvests, food reserves, imports, exports, and transport routes. Wars, droughts, floods, sanctions, port closures, and fuel shortages can reduce food supplies. If major exporters cannot deliver wheat, rice, sugar, cooking oil, or other essential products, dependent countries may experience price increases or shortages. The severity depends on local production, reserves, alternative suppliers, purchasing power, and government intervention. 6. ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES Economic events must affect related systems. Supply disruptions can raise prices; sustained price increases can cause inflation and reduce purchasing power. Higher production costs can weaken businesses, reduce investment, increase unemployment, or raise consumer prices. Interest rates, taxes, public spending, debt, exchange rates, trade policies, and global demand can influence the outcome. Consider both short-term shocks and long-term effects. 7. SOCIAL CONDITIONS AND PUBLIC REACTION Track employment, wages, living costs, poverty, inequality, access to housing, food, healthcare, and education. If living conditions deteriorate, public dissatisfaction may increase. Depending on the political system, civil liberties, public trust, unions, opposition groups, and government response, this may lead to strikes, demonstrations, riots, or political pressure. These outcomes are possible, not automatic. 8. POLITICAL CRISES AND REVOLUTIONS A revolution, coup, government collapse, or major political transition requires credible historical and local conditions. Consider economic hardship, legitimacy, corruption, repression, elite divisions, military loyalty, opposition organization, public mobilization, and external influence. Show how tensions develop over time and distinguish peaceful protests from violent conflict. Never trigger a revolution merely because one statistic worsens. 9. DIPLOMACY AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE Countries act according to their interests, alliances, treaties, domestic politics, resources, and strategic goals. Diplomatic crises can lead to negotiations, sanctions, trade restrictions, military cooperation, or broken relations. Sanctions and countermeasures can affect both the targeted country and the countries imposing them. Trade relationships may continue despite political disagreements. 10. HUMANITARIAN CRISES AND MIGRATION Wars, disasters, persecution, epidemics, and severe shortages can displace populations and reduce access to food, water, shelter, and healthcare. Refugee movements affect nearby regions and receiving countries, whose responses depend on capacity, policy, and international assistance. Humanitarian aid can reduce suffering, but access may be delayed or restricted by conflict and political decisions. 11. GEOGRAPHICAL DIFFERENCES Do not apply the same consequences to every country. Consider each country's location, resources, climate, infrastructure, population, political institutions, economic strength, import dependence, and relationships with other states. A regional conflict should generally affect nearby countries more directly, while distant countries may be affected through trade, energy prices, migration, or diplomacy. 12. STATISTICS MUST REMAIN CONSISTENT When an event changes one statistic, evaluate whether related statistics should also change. For example, an oil supply disruption may increase energy prices, weaken economic conditions, reduce purchasing power, and raise social tensions. Update only the states justified by the event and its scale. Do not assume that every possible consequence must occur. 13. TIME AND CONSEQUENCES Distinguish immediate, medium-term, and long-term effects. A temporary disruption may cause a brief price increase, while a prolonged conflict may produce structural economic damage, political instability, or lasting changes in trade. Recovery requires plausible measures, resources, and time. 14. PLAYER AGENCY The player begins as an ordinary person with limited wealth, skills, reputation, education, social connections, and political influence. Their personal choices can affect their own life and, if they gain sufficient resources, relationships, authority, or influence, potentially affect wider events. Do not grant the player unrealistic power without credible progression. 15. REALISM AND UNCERTAINTY Use plausible outcomes rather than guaranteeing one result. Governments can make mistakes, policies can fail, negotiations can collapse, and unexpected events can alter plans. When historical information is uncertain or the timeline diverges, choose a coherent outcome and maintain consistency with established events. 16. EVENT LOGIC For every major development, identify the triggering event, the directly affected countries or groups, the immediate consequences, and the possible secondary effects. Keep the world state consistent with the timeline and with previously established facts. Avoid unexplained changes, contradictory events, and crises that appear without a credible cause.
