I just started playing a persistent browser game that centers around developing your own personal nation. you begin with two randomly selected resources that grant discounts or buffs, and can build combo resources by "trading" with others (you both get access to each person's natural resources). decide on your government type and your national religion; pay your bills and collect taxes; try to keep your followers happy!
spend your money upgrading:
-Infrastructure
-Technology level
-a plethora of Military units, from soldiers to aircraft to nukes

if you're interested in joining, shoot me a CM and I'll send you my referral link. might be fun to form our own alliance and whatnot =)
