How do I start playing as Moldova?
Create a free account, name your nation, then drop your capital on or near Chișinău on the real-world map. From that moment Moldova's starting treasury, citizens and resources are yours to run.
Do I have to name my nation "Moldova"?
No. Landing on this page seeds your Europe location and flavour, but the name on your flag is entirely yours — call it Moldova, a historical variant, or something invented.
Which nations will I be playing against near Moldova?
Your immediate Europe neighbourhood includes Greece, Germany and Hungary, plus every real player who has anchored nearby and the 8 AI powers that operate worldwide. Proximity matters for trade routes and for who notices when you mobilise.
What makes Moldova a different game than a superpower?
Moldova is landlocked Eastern European state, EU candidate. That shapes which resources spawn near you, which alliances court you, and how much room you have to manoeuvre before a bigger Europe power decides you're worth attacking.
Can Moldova realistically win?
Yes. Rankings are driven by population, treasury, technology and military — not by real-world GDP. A well-run Moldova regularly out-earns a badly-run superpower, and the leaderboards reflect exactly that.
Is the Moldova nation simulator free?
Completely. There's no paywall, no premium tier and no gameplay locked behind donations. Everything from espionage to alliances to the war room is open the moment you found your nation.
