      Something that, in real life, does not exist, and arguably the idea of which is intrinsically fascist and oppressive The idea that there is a USA "player" who "owns" all the people who are born in the USA and has the right to demand they sacrifice themselves for its welfare

      The world needs a first-person grand strategy game. You wander around a castle doing whatever you like, sending and receiving correspondence and reports. Maybe you go roaming, get a sense of things on the ground, maybe slap a few enemies. Mount and Blade kind of going that way.

      I remember all the hype over Master of Orion 3, where they said they were going to add a "5th X" to the 4X formula -- eXperience I.e. it would somehow be a realistic, immersive simulation of being a galactic warlord It turned out this meant lots of emails and spreadsheets

      Probably accurate, so far as this goes -- anyone in that position in real life would have to do a lot of delegating via a lot of obnoxious paperwork -- but not really what players want in a game

      None of these games factor in the unreliable data from underlings either. Like if your staff are lying for their own advancement. e.g Three months of letters saying the rebels are on the run then a bloodied scrap of paper reports your legions are all destroyed or in retreat.

      Yeah the protective shell of yes-men is the one of the most common and obvious failure modes of autocracy that these fantasies of being an all-powerful autocrat never really engage with

      Or just imperfect information in general Even in the best of situations everything people tell you is politicized

      Those tycoon games never have you deal with the fact that your bad employees might straight up lie to you about how things are going under their watch so you don't know that they're bad employees until there's a disaster When this is one of the key traits of bad employees

      it turns out that empire management sims are really personnel management sims and occasionally you press a button that says "WAR!"

      Yeah the reason people like 4X-style games is they DON'T have the 5th X of eXperience Not just that administration is a lot more physically boring than watching simulated battles on a map But that a "realistic" look at holding that kind of position means lots more annoying shit

      Most of what you do even if you were a Stalin-level dictator is sitting in fucking meetings

          Even with modern technology you can't just click on something to order it done and it happens You have to tell an actual person to do it, and then they have to talk to people, etc

          I have been told at work that while I am excellent at my ostensible job, if I want to be promoted, I need to talk to people more and proverbially have more meetings

          And the meetings would be largely pointless because every fucker would be lying to you all the time.
