The Earthpedia · A golden age

What if Honduras had a golden age?

Honduras fell in 2209, taken by Costa Rica.

In 2026, Honduras began a fifty-year golden age: richer, stronger and very pleased with itself. Then history was left to run for 300 years, untouched.

Of 133 countries put through the same fate, 40 fell. Honduras outlasted 21 of them.

Is this what would really happen?

No one can know. This is one run of a game engine that simulates every country on the real map: wars by temperament, armies from land and people, civil wars, golden ages. Same seed, same result, every time.

Can I try it myself?

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.
