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.
