Victoria 3 is a grand strategy video game. It is a sequel to the 2010 game Victoria II. The game spans world history and takes place over a century, starting in 1836 and ending in 1936. Within that time period, players must choose one of over one hundred countries and control it over the course of the century. The core of the game is focused on politics and demographics, and as such, how you run your country is up to you. The gameplay focuses on appeasing and appealing to population groups, who each have different needs and wants. These Pops heavily influence politics; as such, what you do in-game affects different aspects of your nation. The choice is yours if you want to appease the masses and give them what they want, or you want to shun their calls for action in the interest of maintaining the status quo.
The economy also plays a major role in influencing how you play the game. Taxes, production, trade, and construction; how you play these cards will affect how far your chosen country will develop. Buildings also play a large role in running your chosen country, both on the political level and on the production level. You will need to make sure that the buildings in your country are filled with qualified Pops who can work to produce the resources that both the country and they need. Upgrade these buildings and help turn your cities into economic titans.
A big addition to Victoria 3 is the Diplomatic Plays system. When you want something from another country, you can present that demand with a diplomatic proclamation. The target country will then present its own demands. From that point, a timer starts and you enter a phase where you can either mobilize your country's troops or offer spoils of war to other countries to get their support. This system can end in one of two ways: either one country will back down and get what they ask for, or the timer runs out and war will be declared. Whether you wish to wield diplomacy or declare war in the interests of progressing your society, think carefully and ensure that your country's economy can sustain the possible conflict.
