Does anyone know a game similar to Superpower 2? It's a game where you have a country on a world globe and use economic, political and military pressure so you can annex other countries and see your country grow in size.

Does anyone know a game similar to it? Superpower 2 is already 10 years old. The platform (Windows, Mac and iOS) doesn't really matter.

How about the Europa Universalis line of games? They start in the late middle ages and renaissance era, but they are VERY accurate as far as modeling geopolitics, historically possible wars, colonization, imperialism, and global domination. Even wars of religion (e.g. jihads, crusades) are covered under those games.

It covers very complex topics like one superpower nation vassalizing a smaller nation. Also things like trade sanctions, embargoes, etc. And even named (historical) military leaders (who command army units in the game and give them combat bonuses).

Superpower 2 sounds like a more generic game like Risk, where you are some fictional global superpower?

But Superpower 2 takes place in today's world with real countries and their real borders.
