About Cyber Nations - Welcome to Cyber Nations, a nation simulation game. Create a nation anywhere in the world and decide how you will rule your people by choosing a government type, a national religion, ethnicity, tax rate, currency type, and more in this new geo-political, nation, and government simulator. Build your empire by purchasing infrastructure to support your citizens, land to expand your borders, technology to increase your nation's effectiveness, and national improvements to build your nation according to your choosing.

Declare war on others and purchase from a wide variety of military options including soldiers and tanks used to defend against and attack your enemies, cruise missiles to bomb their cities, and nuclear weapons to bring wrath upon those who dare cross you. View your nation on real world maps and watch as your borders expand (or recede) over time. Communicate with other nations through private internal messages or discuss and debate issues in the Cyber Nations Forums. Send foreign aid packages and trade with other nations to grow your nation and improve your status in the Cyber Nations world.

Cyber Nations is an Internet web based game about simulating nation building and management and will require you to exercise your management skills on a day to day basis. You can play Cyber Nations with most modern web browsers that have JavaScript enabled. Cyber Nations runs 24/7 (except when we are performing maintenance and upgrades) so even while you are not online your nation will still be active allowing other players to interact with you through trade offers, foreign aid offers, war declarations, private messages, and much more. Cyber Nations has never been reset since it's inception on 01/06/06 and no resets are planned in the future. We take extreme care to provide complete backups of our game databases and files to ensure your uninterrupted gaming experience.

Game Play - Cyber Nations is not a game that can be completed in one sitting and there is really no way to 'beat' the game. There are many different ways you can build your nation; treat your people kindly through representation of a benevolent government or rule them with an iron fist as a malevolent dictator. Become a war monger and participate in destroying other nations or grow peacefully as a diplomat among the other nations of the world. Grow your nation in size and strength to become all powerful or run your nation into the ground through mismanagement. It’s all up to you.

Getting Started - The first thing you'll need to do is register a ruler name. This allows you to keep one single user name which your nation will be created under. Once you've successfully registered a user name you'll notice your menu bar on the left of the screen change. You'll see a few new links right away which begins with the Create Your Nation link. This link will take you to the nation creation screen to create your Cyber Nation. Additional links include My Inbox, Sent Message, and Compose Message which all deal with the actions of sending private internal messages to the other nations and users of Cyber Nations.


Creating A Nation - The Create Your Nation page allows you to create your nation by giving it a name, a name for your capital city, (as indicated by the colored markers on the map) a team, nation background color, government type, tax rate, religion, ethnicity, and more. It's all up to you on what you select when creating your nation. There is no wrong or right answer here. Once you have successfully created your nation you will notice even more changes to the menu bar on the left of the screen. New menu items will include links to manage your nation (view nation, view nation map, deploy military, wage war, edit your nation, etc...) perform nation purchases (land, infrastructure, military, etc...) and links to view other nations and information about the Cyber Nations world. View the Sample Nation to get an idea of what your nation display screen will look like once you create your own nation.


Playing the Game - Once you've registered a user ID and created your nation there are many things you can do. You can purchase infrastructure, land, build your military forces, or begin saving your money to purchase that first level of technology; which ever direction you want to go. I could spend a lot of time discussing everything here but you probably just want to get on with the game. Here's a few tips to get you started:

Probably the most common activity that you will perform in Cyber Nations is collecting taxes and paying bills. You can collect a percentage of your citizens income base on your government's tax rate each day. The money that you collect can be used for nation purchases or to send to others via the foreign aid system. You can collect your taxes once everyday or save up for a couple of days between tax collections to gain an added bonus in interest. Beware however, the same rule applies to your nation's bills (charged for on infrastructure, soldiers, tanks, etc...) so if you don't pay your taxes daily you might end up paying interest on your unpaid bills.



Keep an eye on the Nation Messages that appear at the top of your nation information page. These messages are important and will guide you in the right direction of successfully managing your nation.

Keep an eye on the happiness of your population. Nothing can bring an economy and progress down more than unhappy citizens.



Keep a close eye on your Government Financial information. Your financial situation determines what you can buy and therefore how quickly your nation grows.



Even if you desire not to wage wars and select to be a peaceful nation it is still important to invest in your military. Soldiers act both as military and as a police force in Cyber Nations so you'll want to have some soldiers defending your nation at all times in order to keep your population happy. (Just make sure your forces are not too powerful as they might make your citizens uncomfortable.)

Seek trading partners early on. There are many resources available in the Cyber Nations world, each with their own unique benefits. Choose your resources carefully:
