White Giant, Golden Rainbow and Little Upsilon are the second, third and fifth planets of Mauri Kappa - RK091, 25.2 light years from earth.

The distance between Vega minor and Mauri kappa is 0.2 light years.

There are 5 worlds and using space ships, you can travel between them, move products and trade them, store weapon and ammunition on space stations and use them later if needed.

Taking care of your empire requires a good strategy and sometimes decisive action.

Fearless Blue is more accommodating for players who want to participate in the war game. New players are protected while building their defenses.

War is part of Simcountry. You can however become a peaceful president and you will never be involved in any war.

The worlds are densely populated. Countries have populations ranging from 9 to 300 millions.

Some of the most populated countries are very successful. They can build many corporations and a strong financial base for their countries.

Countries can become highly populated. Some are poor but some are so rich and stable, they turn into money makers.

Make sure your citizens are happy. Check salary levels, unemployment, education and health.

Increase your income with more corporations, set tax levels and build an army that fits the financial power of the country.

Population is small at the start. It will grow fast if conditions are good.

There are however other ways to increase your population and catch up quickly with the Highly populated countries. Look into the cash market feature.

Spending may increase above your income. This is no problem for a while. If growth is fast, you will be able to repay loans.

There are many empires in each world. Some are large and forceful but none can dominate a very large area. There is always room for new and even stronger empires.

Empires are easy to build. You need to conquer several countries but there are many without a president and wars are initially easy.

Large empires are tougher to build and maintain. With 10 developed countries you will become an influential emperor.

Empires can also be created by bidding for countries on the Cash Market or buying countries that do not have a president.

If your economy is strong, you will be able to purchase valuable assets in all the worlds.

Protecting your countries is essential. If you want to play the war game, build a strong defense first.

We have seen many large empires go down in flames.

Join a strong federation. Federation members are protecting each other during war, making it easier to create good defenses.

If you plan to participate in the war game, start building your defense in the first month you play.

Your main country will always be protected against war unless you start one.

Waging an offensive war requires a large and well equipped offensive army and large stocks of ammunition.

Attacking countries far from your own, requires landing units and a strong air force and navy to support them.

A navy requires many ships, weapons, navy airplanes, ammunition and support. It must also be defended properly.

Take good care of your corporations and their workers. Increase quality and efficiency. High quality products are selling for a higher price.

Make salaries in your corporations competitive and check stocks of raw materials. Make sure production is at 100% of capacity.

If corporations are short on workers or materials, production drops.

Most trading takes place on the world market.

This is a real time market with offers and requests coming from all the countries in the world.

If production is smaller than demand for any product, these shortages will cause a price increase. Over-production will cause product pricing to decline.

Contracts between players are handled outside the market at the agreed price.

Contracts can reduce price volatility and ensure the delivery of many products you need.

Products like Plutonium, Uranium and all nuclear weapons, do not sell on the open market. These products are traded directly between players.
