The energy revolution at the end of the world

Description

Scotland’s Northern Isles, Orkney and Shetland, have long benefited from North Sea oil revenues. But with reserves declining, and climate change forcing a transformation of energy policy around the world, the islands have become a hotbed of renewable energy innovation. As Scotland prepares to host the COP26 UN climate summit in November, the Northern Isles could serve as an example for other nations, both of cutting edge technologies, and of difficult political choices.

  • Power & Revolution 2023 Edition Trailer

    Official website: www.power-and-revolution.com 2023: A World Under Pressure! As 2023 begins, the war in the Ukraine is inflaming the planet. Other than the risk of military escalation in this conflict, the effects can also be geopolitical, first of all, with a clash of ideologies between the democratic model and the authoritarian model, and secondly, economic, with inflation remaining very high throughout the world, leading to a reduction of purchasing power and an increase in social inequality. Nevertheless, every nation in the world agrees: the war must end as soon as possible! But between the Ukraine preparing their counteroffensive and Russia trying to retain the regions they annexed, the situation seems interminable. For an even more detailed simulation of this conflict, several wargame features have been added: digging trenches, building "dragon's teeth" type barriers or bunkers, incorporating artillery by the use of mortar rounds, laying down minefields, simulating troop morale which influences combat effectiveness and the risk of desertions, the possibility of moving troops stealthily, the use of suicide drones, partial mobilization, budgeting for the training and equipping of infantrymen, hiring a private paramilitary group, high velocity missiles, creation of an international military base, etc. The "Ukrainian Counteroffensive" scenario allows you to play as the Ukraine just as they launch their attack with up to date data: front lines, troop strength, detailed weaponry, especially those promised by Western powers... Your objective is to recover as much of your territory as you can to be able to negotiate peace accords from a position of strength, all while being very mindful about the possibility of nuclear weapons. After years of COVID, immigration is once again growing substantially throughout the world, a result of the harmful effects of global warming and economic consequences in poor countries from the rising costs of energy and food. The 2023 Edition expands the migration engine by integrating detailed information on immigration flow for all countries, entering and leaving (illegal immigration, economic, students, humanitarian, familial…) and by offering new tools for migratory policy: regulating jus solis, family unification, naturalization, regularization of illegals; construction of detention centers and border walls; agreements with countries of origin on the issuing of visas, reinforcing borders, detention of migrants in transit, facilitating the deportation of illegal immigrants; entering and leaving the Schengen Area… The new scenario on reducing illegal immigration will demonstrate how the implementation of these actions will play out. Other themes developed for the 2023 Edition: • the sale, purchase and annexation of territory in order to acquire or cede territory peacefully with a popular referendum. Scenarios on the acquisition and annexation of Greenland (as either a major world power or a Nordic country) allow you to carry out these changes in sovereignty. • the judicial system and determining the severity of sentences -, various regulations on control measures (facial recognition, social credit), legislation on the youth of the country (age of criminal responsibility, sexual consent, corporal punishment) along with the scenario on reducing crime. • children's rights, defended primarily by the representative from UNICEF, in order to improve their living conditions and to participate in the eradication of child labor and pedophilia. • various societal laws such as surrogacy, the status of transgendered persons, the level of smoking restrictions in public spaces, regulation of religious garb, the fight against unreported employment and modern slavery… and many other additions such as the interest rates of the European Central Bank, fixing severance pay, the option of realistic construction times, the Australian Senate, mega wind and solar farms, a scenario to establish over 100 democracies in the world, various improvements to the God’n’Spy mod (joining an organization, accelerated production of military equipment, details on the combativeness of soldiers)... The 2023 Edition allows you to play as any head of state or opposition leader on the planet, as the head of one or multiple nations on January 1, 2023 with all updated information, especially political changes and armament data for every country in the world.
