What if Guyana broke into pieces?

Guyana fell in 2167, taken by Venezuela.

The year is 2026, and Guyana splits apart overnight, city by city. Nobody touches anything after that: 300 years of history, left to play out.

Of 133 countries put through the same fate, 47 fell. Guyana outlasted 22 of them.

Yes. Press Play this world: the same seed opens in your browser, free, and unfolds the same way until you change something.

Every page is a real run of the Play God on Earth engine (deterministic: same seed, same result). Historical facts are not implied; this is a game.
