Official Gameplay Trailer
Now in Multiplayer
Everything you do in single player, you can do in multiplayer. Run your economy, trade on the world market, research the Knowledge Network, pass laws and win elections, run covert operations, negotiate treaties, vote in the Security Council, command armies, fleets and air wings — and climb the DEFCON ladder if it comes to that.
Team up against the world, race each other for supremacy, or betray your friends at the perfect moment. Up to eight players share one world while the AI runs every other nation on Earth.
2–8 players, one world
Each player leads a different nation; the AI runs the rest of the planet.

Cross-play

Only orders cross the network: every machine simulates the whole planet — every AI decision included — in deterministic lockstep, verified by a world fingerprint every in-game week and backed by automatic, self-healing resync.

Global Protocol: New World Order is a data-driven grand strategy game set in the real world of 2026. Play as any of 221 playable countries — 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 221 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 4,600 provinces cover the entire world — every region matters.
Deep Strategic Systems
Economy
Manage GDP growth, inflation, trade agreements, resource extraction, budgets, and construction. Build 70 different building types across economic, military, infrastructure, research, social, defense, and intelligence categories.
Military
Command 17 unit types across land, sea, and air. Assemble armies, deploy fleets, launch air missions, manage logistics, and fight wars of attrition or lightning strikes.
Knowledge Network
Shape your nation through the Knowledge Network: 10 research branches and 150 doctrines, with mutually exclusive choices at every tier that define your strategic identity.
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. 68 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 field seven missile types — from tactical and cruise missiles to ICBMs and submarine-launched SLBMs. 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.
Victory on Your Terms
Pursue one of 5 victory conditions:
Military Hegemony
Dominate the world through territorial control and unchallenged military power.
Economic Superpower
Control the global economy with the world's strongest markets and trade networks.
Diplomatic Leader
Lead through alliances, prestige, and international cooperation.
Technological Ascendancy
Lead the world in research and technological development.
Nuclear Deterrence

Or play in sandbox mode with no time limit.

Why Early Access?
Global Protocol: New World Order is an ambitious grand strategy game with deeply interconnected systems — economy, military, diplomacy, espionage, AI decision-making, and nuclear deterrence — all operating across 221 nations and over 4,600 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, research, espionage, events, nuclear deterrence, fog of war, and 5 victory conditions — plus online multiplayer for 2–8 players.
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.
Community
Your feedback directly shapes development. Report bugs, debate balance, suggest features — we read everything on Steam Community discussions.
