The biggest content update yet: a complete Innovation Economy layer where nations compete to lead in startups, AI, compute, talent and the platform economy.
NEW: INNOVATION DASHBOARD (FUTURE tab) - A national innovation score plus live ranks for AI Leadership and Startup Ecosystem, 19 tracked metrics with trend arrows, a 24-month history, a global "Race to the Top" leaderboard, and "why this changed" breakdowns.
GIG ECONOMY, STARTUPS & THE AI RACE - 23 new laws across Gig Economy, Startups & Venture Capital, and AI & Future Tech — each with full impact previews. Real tradeoffs: deregulate platforms for growth (and inequality), or protect workers (and raise costs); race for the AI frontier, or pick a defensible niche. - Dedicated Gig Economy, Startups & VC, AI Race and Tech Sectors screens.
A LIVING GLOBAL RACE - A yearly startup lifecycle across 12 sectors (founded, failed, scaled, unicorns, IPOs, acquisitions, relocations). - AI nations now pursue their own innovation strategies by regime and wealth — and overtake each other on the leaderboards over time. - 3 new ranking domains and 5 new world-map overlays (AI power, startup hubs, gig intensity, data centers, talent).
EVENTS & ACHIEVEMENTS - 8 new events that emerge from your fundamentals, not dice: AI breakthroughs, tech layoffs, gig strikes, data breaches, chip shortages, data-center energy crises, deepfake election crises, unicorn IPOs. - 8 new achievements: First Unicorn, Regional Startup Hub, AI Contender, AI Superpower, Compute Powerhouse, Talent Magnet, Platform Economy Leader, Responsible AI Leader.
