How do I start playing as Taiwan?
Create a free account, name your nation, then drop your capital on or near Taipei on the real-world map. From that moment Taiwan's starting treasury, citizens and resources are yours to run.
Do I have to name my nation "Taiwan"?
No. Landing on this page seeds your Asia location and flavour, but the name on your flag is entirely yours — call it Taiwan, a historical variant, or something invented.
Which nations will I be playing against near Taiwan?
Your immediate Asia neighbourhood includes Georgia, India and Indonesia, 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 Taiwan a different game than a superpower?
Taiwan is island democracy and global semiconductor hub. That shapes which resources spawn near you, which alliances court you, and how much room you have to manoeuvre before a bigger Asia power decides you're worth attacking.
Can Taiwan realistically win?
Yes. Rankings are driven by population, treasury, technology and military — not by real-world GDP. A well-run Taiwan regularly out-earns a badly-run superpower, and the leaderboards reflect exactly that.
Is the Taiwan 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.
