Not sure if anyone would be interested in this, but it is a free online geo-politics simulator. You compete against other people, scheming, going to war and generally trying to keep your country's sovereignty intact and trying to increase your own power. I've been playing it for a month or two and its pretty entertaining. Someone else here might find it interesting.

Sure doesn't tell very much about rules and gameplay. I
can't find that information anywhere.

If you can't corrupt less developed nations via bribery and
installing "military advisers" while oppressing their populace
and murdering all social activists while labelling them commies,
in order to maintain a cheap and docile source of labour after
you take over all their industries, and then pipe all their
resources and products back home via sweetheart contracts for
vastly under market fees, plundering them until you've sucked
them dry, then it won't be a very realistic simulation.

The only rule is to not make more than one account. Beyond that you do what you want when you can. The gameplay is via buttons that you click on a screen. They usually cost money which you get based on what your GDP is. There is a guide on the forum
