Civitas is a country-scale city and nation builder. Most games in the genre simulate a single city. Civitas simulates an entire country: hundreds of kilometres of coast and hinterland, millions of citizens going about their lives, and a real economy and political system running underneath every decision you make.

You're not running a town. You're running a nation.

The studio has spent the engineering up front. A working 2D prototype already runs the full simulation across a 102 by 102 km map. The Kickstarter (goal: £250,000) funds the next 18 to 24 months: artists, designers, and the production push to take the game from engineer's workbench to a finished 3D release on PC.

The simulation is real. The Kickstarter funds the game that goes on top of it.
