In a time of growing unrest and uncertainty, a new threat to humanity emerges - take control of any nation as major outbreaks challenge world order. Global Pandemics and Mysterious Outbreaks will test humanity to the limits. Choose your country and manage their army, air force and navy around the world. Research, produce, buy and sell military equipment to optimize your armed forces and generate extra revenue. Each land unit is a battalion, each aircraft a squadron. Assemble battlegroups of combined force abilities to counter enemy tactics. Deploy your naval battlegroups as fleets to protect your maritime borders from naval landings by enemy nations. Load your units with far reaching missiles, either conventional or nuclear, to strike at the enemy from afar.
Country management also requires managing relationships. Allies or enemies can be found next door or halfway around the world. Sign treaties, trade commodities and share research to rise in power. Use covert operations to gain an intelligence edge or slow the progress of other nations through sabotage. But keep some of your spies in reserve, you might need to send them on counter-intel missions to cover your own assets.
Manage all aspects of your country, right down to financial and supply chain needs. Tanks cost money and people expect to be fed. You'll need a steady hand and good judgment to manage all the competing needs of your nation. Fail to anticipate the needs of your population and you could see your political opponents remove you from power or large chunks of your country simply declare independence. Hope you kept some tanks in reserve!
