My idea for a grand strategy game is this: you create your country with sliders and stuff:
Ideologies:
This section will allow you to choose the ideology of your country, such as socialist, democratic, fascist, communist, capitalist, social democracy.
Religion:
This section will allow you to choose the religion of your country. Animist, Shamanist, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican, Confucianist, Buddhist, Taoist, Hindu, Islam, tolerant, or a lack of religion will be some of the many choices.
Government Type:
This section will allow you to choose the type of government, such as republic, dictatorship, papacy, empire, and kingdom.
Culture:
This section will allow you to choose a predefined culture, or a custom one.
That's some of the few sections, basically my idea is based off of Thrive. However, it won't include space.
I'll turn this into an epic map war if you want. Once you set up your country, turns will be taken both to change the borders of the country using a map, and to change policies, manage economics, carry out trade and diplomacy, and so on.
Format:
Name of Country:

Other information:
Currently that'll be all to set up when this gets to be an actual map game. I want to revive what died, and make it better and more complex. Any takers?
I'll make it more complex as we go, I'm don't really want to take the time to do it all at once.
