Take Command in Dummynation
Dummynation is a tactical nation-simulation made for iPhone by Alejandro Hernandez Ferrero. The game is free to download and places you at the helm of a country with the long-term objective of becoming the dominant global power. You’ll make far-reaching choices about territory, foreign relations, and domestic policy while trying to outmaneuver rival states.
Core mechanics and player options
- Diplomacy and influence: use treaties, alliances, and subterfuge to weaken opponents without triggering a broad coalition against you.
- Economic and technological management: allocate budgets to research and development, public services, and the economy so your nation can support expansion.
- Military conquest and occupation: seize land by force when necessary, but expand at a sustainable pace to avoid stretching your control too thin.
Strategy pointers for lasting success
Avoid rapid territorial expansion that leaves provinces undefended or drains your administrative capacity. Carefully weigh diplomatic moves—well-timed negotiations and manipulative deals can let you take territory while keeping powerful foes isolated. Keep a realistic budget: fund research and military operations, but don’t bankrupt your economy in pursuit of short-term gains. The best victories come from balancing a growing economy, steady technological progress, and a capable armed force.
Suggested alternative
If you’re interested in a different take on global strategy, consider Age of History 3 (paid). It offers a more detailed map-driven campaign and a different pacing model, which some players prefer for long-term grand strategy play.
