Don't like how things are going in our own country? Think you can do better, or just wish that you could escape from it for a few minutes a day? Well, while there's always <a href='http://www.2kgames.com/civ4/home.htm' target='_blank'>Civilization</a>, <a href='http://simcity.ea.com/' target='_blank'>SimCity</a> or some other games of the sort, for a quick and dirty web-based version, try <span style='font-size:10pt;line-height:100%'><a href='http://www.cybernations.net/' target='_blank'>Cyber Nations</a></span>.
It's all a bit daunting at first specially since it's a text-based game, and you're working with abstract ideas and such. People who have an aversion to reading lots of text will most likely not enjoy.
I know that there's a lot of forum-based games like this floating around on the Net, but this one really caught my attention, maybe because of the fact that it's deeper than most of the others out there and is really open-ended. It's definitely not a dead investment of your time. There's politics, war-mongering, research of technologies and other stuff that only governments think of. Parang Civ talaga ang dating, pero no installation required hehe. To top it off, there's a very active community of around 25,000 people to interact with. That's a lot for the types of transactions you'll be doing here.
If you're thinking of playing, how about an alliances and trade agreements, yeah? My ginormous totalitarian nation of 75 people and 10 soldiers living on 2 miles of land really need it. XD
