Greetings, beautiful mutants.

ITT we will conquer the modern world.

For those of you who do not know about it, Superpower 2 is a grand strategy game set in the 2000's in which you take the helm of basically any country in the world and then try to steer it to whatever end. Think Supreme Ruler 2020, except with less micro and actually fun.

The game unfolds in real time, with multiple speeds available and of course a pause option for when the shit hits the fan. It always does.

Now, because I'm such a democrat at heart, I've chosen to let you vote on which country we will be taking into it's new Codex-fuelled golden age. In times of EXXXTREME choices and consequences, you will also be called on to do your civic duty and vote on the best course of action.

Regarding the country we'll pick; I'm pretty open about it. I will however not accept military superpowers such as the US or Russia, since playing these tends to make the game too easy unless you are playing at a GD-worthy level of retardedness. This game is best enjoyed when you pick a minor power (or some third world shithole, if you feel like a challenge or many lulz) and gradually start pulling your weight on the world stage. When suggesting a country, feel free to include what you think would be a good short-term goal to start off our glorious Codexian republic.

Our goal during this game will simply be world domination. The country we choose will dictate our short and medium term objectives, but long term strategic goal will be annexation of the planet and the advent of a united Earth (directorate lololol SC2 sucks). This may well take a few centuries of ingame time, depending on what nation we choose, but we will prevail.

Discuss!! (Or rather, suggest countries. Country with the most vote by approximately 10 hours from now will be the lucky Chosen One.)

And now some screenshots, to wet your appetite:

Clearly you want to lead the military might of Denmark to take over the entirety of europe and deliver bacon to all.

I remember playing it as Poland and getting 120000$ GDP per capita and developing nuclear weapons to finally obliterate China. Seemed very buggy and unpolished...

Just to troll and for the lulz, I vote for Israel if that's an option.

Besides, you'll have huge amounts of Jewgold to fund the final stage of the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.

Yeah, all the suggestions so far are present in the game.

Total tally so far indicates Israel will finally fulfill it's manifest destiny of pwning Arabs and eclipsing the Third Reich, as it is obviously trying to do.

Unless the situation is reversed overnight (I'm going to sleep), I'll start the game as Israel, probably tomorrow evening unless RL offers me more worthy timesinks.

Yeah, game out of the box was very buggy and allowed some truly silly stuff to happen. I've got it patched and modded, it's much less inane now, although it still allows you to do some whacky shit if you put some thought into it... but that's the magic of the game. Conquering South Korea and the South East Pacific and Japan (in that order) as North Korea is not something that would likely be feasible in the real world, but given a few decades of war preparations (and some VERY crafty diplomacy and covert ops to dissasemble alliances) it can be pulled off here.

And now for the dreaded Israeli PMS Jewmandos:

North Korea is Best Korea. Play it and spread communism (true communism) to all Asians. They deserve it.
