About Supreme Ruler

In January 2010, due to a growing sense of international optimism, the World Market announced a new goal - to terminate existing regionalism. It is uncertain whether this pronouncement had the intended effect . Over the next few months some regions began working together with neighbors and organized peaceful reunification votes. Yet other regions began to further isolate themselves and begin military buildups. It became apparent to many that no matter how benign the objective, it could not be achieved without great cost. What would happen next was anyone’s guess.

Supreme Ruler 2010 is a groundbreaking Economic, Political, and Military Strategy game for Windows PCs. It supports Single and Multi-Player (up to 16) in either “Real Time” or “Turn Based” modes.

Supreme Ruler 2010 will be available for purchase on May 10, 2005 at all major retailers at a suggested retail price of $39.99 and is Rated Everyone by ESRB.
