This game is both too detailed and too vague to be playable.

The game gives you tons of economic data, but a handful only a handful of cards without detailed description of what they do.
You have to 'buy' for tens of dollars? the abstraction makes no sense. (if you are a world government, you should have more power)
Parts of the world have to buy technology you paid to develop from each other, makes no sense. (south america buys 'deep sea drilling technology' from north america)

Why give me this amount of detail, but so little control? if it's big picture, give me big picture overviews.

Its politics is also questionable as far as climate policy goes, as it is a firm believer in the power of managed capitalism to buy our way out of global warming.

It is also stuck on a strict 'developed world', 'developing', 'underdeveloped' framing. The end goal of human existence is the united states, not living in harmony with nature or something.

p.s.
Consider playing the free 'Half-earth socialism' for a flawed, but better designed game.
