I found the
Middle East Conflict Simulator on the excellent Home of the Underdogs site. It’s worth a look, though it’s incredibly shallow and lacks a lot of the features it could have. Pity no one creates political simulators any more. Go to
this thread for more details.
In any case, I was fooling around with it for a while, and ended in about 2002 with this geopolitical map-
Iran: Reconstruction government controlled by the Uprising of the New Born Christ
Iraq: Reconstruction government controlled by the Islamic Fundamentalist Party of God
Jordan: Puppet reconstruction government controlled by Syria
Syria: Puppet government controlled by old gov’t of Iraq, I guess the fundies inherited it.
Libya: Controlled by Egypt
Egypt: Game ended with Islamic fundamentalists coming to power
Lebanon: Government overthrew, controlled by Christian Anarchic Fundamentalists
Anyone care to explain that?
