What if South Sudan broke into pieces?
South Sudan fell in 2306, taken by Sudan.
The year is 2026, and South Sudan 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. South Sudan outlasted 45 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.
