Description:

Century 22 is a game depicting the history of the 22nd century. Players
take the roles of nations, responding to changing social, economic,
political, and technological conditions. Turns represent 5 year time
periods, which means that players will be more concerned with long term
trends and crises than daily political events.

The economic system is quite detailed but simple to use. There is
roleplaying as you deal with the other players, all of whom are directing
nations of their own, but the game requires a different kind of input than
a free form role playing game. You don't half to post a paragraph every
other day describing the next 10 seconds in your character's life, but you
do have to fill out a turn order once a month telling me what you did. You
will have to choose your nation's policies- do you favor Labor or
Industry?- it's spending- guns, roads, schools or profits? - and its
investments, and guide your nation, if you wish into the exploration of
space.
