SFC Nations turns the dry parts of social studies — budgets, taxes, government types, trade — into a strategy game you actually want to log into. Can be used by homeschoolers, teachers, and curious adults.
Most 'educational games' are flashcards with a coat of paint. SFC Nations is the opposite — it's a real strategy simulator first, and the learning happens because the game systems are modeled on the real concepts. You don't memorize what a deficit is. You run one, watch your army go unpaid, and figure out how to fix it.
Budgeting and taxation. Trade agreements and reputation. Resource scarcity and 32 different resources with real-world parallels. Military spending vs. social investment.

Homeschool parents looking for a meaty social studies supplement. Teachers running an after-school strategy club. Adults who want a slow-burn nation builder that respects their time. Anyone who wishes Civilization had a free, persistent, real-time browser version.
Primarily economics, civics, and geography, with some history through random world events.
Yes. It's free, browser-based, and the only content rated for caution is the optional opt-in arcade.
10-20 minutes a day is the sweet spot. The game progresses in real time so checking in daily is enough.
Free to play. No credit card. One nation per player.
