You can trigger disasters and all kinds of events to damage the Ecosystems & Pollution and turn the planet into an unliveable hell! Earth’s arsenal is based on real-life threats, ranging from virus outbreaks, to locust plagues, and even asteroid impacts.As the World Leaders, you create the laws and regulations the others need to abide by. If a virus breaks out, will you instigate global lockdowns, partial lockdowns, or none at all? Will you forcefully evacuate the Public ahead of the asteroid impact and risk revolt to save their lives, or will you value their free will? The Industry manages all corporations and the economy. Will you force your staff to work remotely to limit virus spread, force them to come into the office to limit productivity loss, or allow them to choose for themselves? Will you hire the Scientists to research ways to lower your emissions, or prioritize profits?Scientists need to spend resources to successfully complete scientific research and discover solutions to humanity's struggles. The more you spend, the bigger the chance of success, but at the cost of lowering your influence. Will you prioritize the greater good? Or will self-interest prevail?The Media needs to report the news and inform the other players. Will you do your duty and keep it truthful, or will you sensationalize events for more clicks?

Will you follow virus safety guidelines or do you want to keep living life as usual? Will you enter the asteroid impact zone to save your fellow humans, or leave it up to rescue workers?
