Command any of 261 real-world nations in this modern-era grand strategy game. Build your economy, raise armies, forge alliances, and shape the global order starting from 2026.
Take Command of the Modern World
Global Protocol: New World Order is a data-driven grand strategy game set in the real world of 2026. Play as any of 261 nations — from global superpowers to developing states — and navigate the complex web of modern geopolitics, economics, warfare, and diplomacy.
Every country starts with real-world data: GDP, population, military strength, alliances, resources, and political systems. What happens next is up to you.
Every Nation, Your Way
Choose from 261 playable countries, each rated on a 5-star difficulty scale. Lead the United States and maintain global hegemony, guide Brazil through economic transformation, or take on the ultimate challenge with a fragile state fighting for survival.
Over 3,600 provinces cover the entire world — every region matters.
Deep Strategic Systems
Economy
Manage GDP growth, inflation, trade agreements, resource extraction, budgets, and construction. Build 20 different building types across economic, military, research, and social categories.
Military
Command 13 unit types across land, sea, and air. Assemble armies, deploy fleets, launch air missions, manage logistics, and fight wars of attrition or lightning strikes.
Technology
Research 47 technologies across Military, Civilian, and Space branches. Unlock new capabilities, improve your economy, and gain strategic advantages.
Espionage
Build intelligence agencies, run covert operations, steal technology, sabotage rivals, and protect your own secrets. Real-world agencies like the CIA, MI6, FSB, and Mossad each bring unique advantages.
Shape the Global Order
Diplomacy goes far beyond simple alliances. Negotiate trade deals, impose multilateral sanctions through the UN Security Council, form and break military pacts like NATO or the Shanghai Pact, join economic blocs, and compete for prestige on the world stage.
The G7, G20, and UNSC are active bodies whose decisions reshape the global balance of power.
A Living World
Each country is governed by its own AI personality — aggressive, cautious, opportunistic, or isolationist. Over 100 scripted events draw from real-world 2026 flashpoints, while procedural events react to your decisions.
- ◆ Alliance betrayals and diplomatic crises unfold dynamically
- ◆ Economic recessions and booms ripple across trade networks
- ◆ Border disputes and regime changes emerge from player actions
- ◆ Every action has consequences that cascade across the globe
Command Your Forces
Deploy infantry, armor, artillery, fighters, bombers, helicopters, destroyers, submarines, and carriers across a detailed world map.
- ◆ Establish air superiority over contested regions
- ◆ Blockade enemy ports and disrupt supply lines
- ◆ Transport armies across oceans with naval logistics
- ◆ Manage fuel, manpower, and supply that keep your war machine running
- ◆ Fog of war ensures that intelligence is as valuable as firepower
Nuclear Deterrence
The DEFCON system tracks global nuclear tension across 5 escalation levels. Nine nuclear-armed nations possess ICBMs, SLBMs, cruise missiles, tactical warheads, and hypersonic weapons. Launch a first strike — or hold your arsenal as the ultimate deterrent.
Mutual Assured Destruction is not just a theory; it is a game mechanic.

Early Access
Why Early Access?
Global Protocol: New World Order has deeply interconnected systems — economy, military, diplomacy, espionage, AI decision-making, and nuclear deterrence — all operating across 261 nations and over 3,600 provinces. Getting these systems to feel right requires real players pushing boundaries, exposing edge cases, and telling us what works.
Early Access lets us put a fully playable game in your hands now while we refine balance, deepen AI behavior, and ensure every system adds genuine strategic value — not just complexity for its own sake.
Current State
Fully playable with all core systems: economy, military, diplomacy, technology, espionage, events, nuclear deterrence, fog of war, and 5 victory conditions.
Timeline
Estimated 6–12 months of Early Access. We'd rather take the time to get it right than rush to a 1.0 that doesn't meet our standards.
Pricing
Early Access priced at $19.99 USD to reward early supporters. Price will increase at full release to reflect added content and refinement.

Generative AI Disclosure
Art Assets: Store page capsule art, in-game UI icons (unit types, building types, resource types, cursors, notification icons), and promotional imagery were created with the assistance of generative AI tools, then reviewed, composited, and finalized by the development team. Country flags are real-world flags sourced from public datasets.
Audio: Sound effects and music tracks were generated with the assistance of AI tools, then curated, edited, and mixed by the development team.
Map and Terrain: Map textures, heightmaps, and province geometry are derived from real-world public domain geodata (Natural Earth shapefiles, NASA SRTM elevation data), not generated by AI.
Game Data: Country statistics, province data, economic figures, and military data are sourced from real-world public datasets (World Bank, REST Countries API, Natural Earth) and processed through deterministic data pipelines.
Gameplay and Simulation: Game logic, AI behavior, economic formulas, combat resolution, and diplomacy systems were developed with the assistance of AI coding tools, then reviewed, tested, and refined. No generative AI is used at runtime during gameplay.
