Not sure how it will go but I really like the concept, so I created CRLFthe nation of Merlandia in the game of NationStates, a CRLFstraight-forward world politics simulation. One thing I like about CRLFthis is the pacing: you are presented with one issue a day. The CRLFgame could be more sophisticated, but it's a wonderful idea, the CRLFsort of thing that would be great to to start the class on in CRLFSeptember and have them play throughout the year. CRLFNationStates isn't quite ready for that level, though. Also CRLFinteresting is the economic model behind this site: no fees or CRLFsubscriptions, but the site is associated with a book, and the CRLFbook is regularly advertised.
