addedFULL MILITARY & WAR SYSTEM - Every one of the ~200 countries now has a complete military profile (personnel, doctrine, logistics, readiness, tech, air/navy/army, cyber, missiles, nuclear status and more). - New Balance of Power screen: compare your military with any country across every dimension, with alliances, geography and economic endurance factored in. Quality, logistics and alliances matter — not just troop counts. - War goals: every war now has a stated objective (defend, seize, regime change, liberation, annexation and more) with legality, domestic support, escalation risk and success criteria. Changing your goal mid-war is politically costly. - Comprehensive monthly war reports: casualties, civilian/refugee impact, territory, goal progress, costs, escalation and ceasefire odds, humanitarian level, a commander's assessment and recommended options. - Ceasefires and peace treaties: 8 ceasefire types (monitored, DMZ, frozen, prisoner-exchange, brokered and more) with trust and violations, plus 20 selectable treaty terms with an AI acceptance model and international recognition of territory changes. - Home-front impact by regime type: rally-round-the-flag, conscription backlash, veterans burden, casualty tolerance and coup risk.
addedREGIME STABILITY & GLOBAL INSTABILITY - Every country now has a drill-downable Regime Stability score (Very Stable to Near Collapse) and an Instability score (Stable to Failed State), each broken into its real drivers. - Global Instability Spillover: unstable countries affect neighbours first, then the region, then the world — through refugees, terrorism, crime, trade and commodity shocks. A Global Risk Briefing shows what's reaching you, with response tools (humanitarian aid, border security, stabilization funds).
changedPROXY WARS & MERCENARIES - Proxy conflicts with factions, sponsors and a six-level escalation ladder. Back a side with funding, weapons, drones, advisors, intelligence or covert support — every action shows its cost, exposure, escalation and humanitarian risk before you commit. Get exposed and face the consequences. - A global mercenary / PMC market: hire private military companies for combat, security, training or protection, weighing capability against political, human-rights and sanctions risk. Stop paying and they grow unreliable — or defect. - Delegate proxy management to your ministries with doctrines (avoid escalation, contain rivals, anti-terror, regime change and more), and watch AI rivals run their own proxy wars.
addedQUALITY OF LIFE - Strategic Pressures on the Command Center: four flagship feedback loops (Debt & Sovereignty, Fiscal & Legitimacy, Growth Engine, Stability Dial) surfaced as live gauges with plain-language next-step guidance. - A ranked "what changed this month" digest with causes, plus trend sparklines. - Optional scenario win/lose conditions and an end-of-run legacy score. - New map overlays: Military Power, Active Wars, Instability, Spillover, Proxy Conflicts, Sponsor Influence, Mercenary Activity and more.

World Order: Global Power v1.1.0 is a huge, fully additive update that turns conflict, regime survival, and global instability into a living strategic system. All your existing saves keep working.

A LIVING WORLD OF CONFLICT The whole update is built on one idea: instability spreads. A regime-change operation destabilizes a country, which spills onto its neighbours, which reshapes the region. You now feel the consequences ripple outward.

FULL MILITARY & WAR SYSTEM - Every one of the ~200 countries now has a complete military profile (personnel, doctrine, logistics, readiness, tech, air/navy/army, cyber, missiles, nuclear status and more). - New Balance of Power screen: compare your military with any country across every dimension, with alliances, geography and economic endurance factored in. Quality, logistics and alliances matter — not just troop counts. - War goals: every war now has a stated objective (defend, seize, regime change, liberation, annexation and more) with legality, domestic support, escalation risk and success criteria. Changing your goal mid-war is politically costly. - Comprehensive monthly war reports: casualties, civilian/refugee impact, territory, goal progress, costs, escalation and ceasefire odds, humanitarian level, a commander's assessment and recommended options. - Ceasefires and peace treaties: 8 ceasefire types (monitored, DMZ, frozen, prisoner-exchange, brokered and more) with trust and violations, plus 20 selectable treaty terms with an AI acceptance model and international recognition of territory changes. - Home-front impact by regime type: rally-round-the-flag, conscription backlash, veterans burden, casualty tolerance and coup risk.

REGIME STABILITY & GLOBAL INSTABILITY - Every country now has a drill-downable Regime Stability score (Very Stable to Near Collapse) and an Instability score (Stable to Failed State), each broken into its real drivers. - Global Instability Spillover: unstable countries affect neighbours first, then the region, then the world — through refugees, terrorism, crime, trade and commodity shocks. A Global Risk Briefing shows what's reaching you, with response tools (humanitarian aid, border security, stabilization funds).

FOREIGN INFLUENCE & COVERT OPERATIONS - A full Covert Operations Center: influence operations, election interference, information warfare, covert ops and regime-change campaigns. Outcomes are gradual and never guaranteed — success depends on intelligence, the target's counterintelligence, legitimacy, instability and local support. Exposure triggers diplomatic crises. Defend with counterintelligence.

PROXY WARS & MERCENARIES - Proxy conflicts with factions, sponsors and a six-level escalation ladder. Back a side with funding, weapons, drones, advisors, intelligence or covert support — every action shows its cost, exposure, escalation and humanitarian risk before you commit. Get exposed and face the consequences. - A global mercenary / PMC market: hire private military companies for combat, security, training or protection, weighing capability against political, human-rights and sanctions risk. Stop paying and they grow unreliable — or defect. - Delegate proxy management to your ministries with doctrines (avoid escalation, contain rivals, anti-terror, regime change and more), and watch AI rivals run their own proxy wars.

QUALITY OF LIFE - Strategic Pressures on the Command Center: four flagship feedback loops (Debt & Sovereignty, Fiscal & Legitimacy, Growth Engine, Stability Dial) surfaced as live gauges with plain-language next-step guidance. - A ranked "what changed this month" digest with causes, plus trend sparklines. - Optional scenario win/lose conditions and an end-of-run legacy score. - New map overlays: Military Power, Active Wars, Instability, Spillover, Proxy Conflicts, Sponsor Influence, Mercenary Activity and more.

FIXES - Fixed the Economy screen clipping/overflow; the interface now adapts cleanly to any window size.
