Set in the real world in the not to distant future, Warpol is a game of
conquest in which players take control of a real world nation and through
the use of both political and military assets try to become a world super
power and rule the entire globe. In order to sustain and develop your
authority it will be necessary to trade, research, build, conquer and
control yours and other nations you conquer with all the tools at your
disposal.
Your national population are hopelessly devoted to your regime, its ideals
and future plans, and they will follow your every command faithfully. They
believe you are their god, their ultimate leader, and are devoted to you,
believing every word you utter. They are the backbone of your nation
whatever path you choose to lead them down.

As the nations leader, it is you who decides your international friends and
foes. Allegiance to the better-equipped and more powerful nations allows you
in turn to become more powerful; gaining more wealth and resources than you
ever would on your own. But with friendship there will come a time where
loyalty goes out of the window, treachery and betrayal becomes rife, and
your once powerful allies become your adversary's.

Too much power also brings with it hatred and jealousy. Keep your friends
close, but keep your enemies even closer, and remember that your enemy's
enemy is also your friend. Political management, financial rewards and
lucrative arms and trade agreements will keep most nations sweet and
possibly swing them in your favour, but there is no match for military might
when a nation does not want to play ball or decides to invade or attack you.

You make all the decisions, which will take you to glory or defeat: How
would you make your nation a super power? Turn your economy/resource
production around? Turn your country into a feared and brutal regime across
the globe while keeping national tension low? Keep international peace while
propelling your own interests? Deceive and manipulate other nations into war
to defeat your enemies?

This game lets you do all this and more - In a nutshell Warpol is a Play by
E-mail, turn-based, order-driven, role-playing game that allows you to take
control of a nation and conquer the world by allowing you to make strategic
and tactical decisions on many avenues including research, trade and
politics, and if those fail then you can always use military action.

In two words it is a 'presidential simulator'.
