Sim Secession

Secession

Just an idea for a game I'm musing about. Basically, it'd be a kind of sim-city/civilizations type game, but with an interface like football manager. Instead of "building an empire" your goal would be to secede from one. In a US scenario, you'd have "easy" and "hard" states to pick from (eg. easy = California; hard = Nevada). Foster dissatisfaction with your national government! Encourage local state rivalries! Leverage governors into voting for things that make secession possible! Finally, build up local militias, grab the local military bases, ensure you have the nuke launch codes and hold out for your own country!! In multi-player, everyone plays a state and is trying to achieve the same thing - the winner is the one to get there first. Note: I'm a Brit, so don't flame me with secessionist US politics ideas - I'm not really bothered, I just think it would make for an interesting game. And it doesn't have to be US either - soviet-era Russia would do just fine too; Roman-era Europe works just as well (though you'd have to do a decent amount of historical research).
