Overview
Description

Neocolonialism is a turn‑based strategy sandbox where you control a nation’s hidden levers of power. Buy votes, forge free‑trade deals, and manipulate the IMF to extract wealth while watching the world turn upside‑down. The game blends 4X expansion with ruthless political economics, offering both single‑player campaigns and multiplayer rivalries for players who love deep, indie‑crafted simulations of global domination.

Sid Meier's Colonization lets you lead one of four colonial powers to discover, explore, and colonize the New World. Manage resources, grow colonies, and establish trade routes while balancing economics, politics, and military might.\nFace native nations and rival empires, use diplomacy or force, and eventually fight for independence to create your own powerful nation.
