The game was published by Fellow Travaler on 4 December 2020 and developed by Torpor Games.

The country lies in a bad state, between regional rivalries, increasingly aggressive neighbors, an economic recession that is on the verge of becoming a full crisis, increasingly powerful separatist movements, politically motivated violence and widespread corruption. The objective is to shape the country as you see fit, possibly surviving the backlash that is going to form both internally and externally.
