Natsimga (NATion SIMulation GAme) is a browser-based multiplayer nation simulation game inspired by the classic online republic of Jottonia (originally created in 2000 as Mida$). Players in Natsimga are citizens of a living virtual country with an active economic, political, journalistic, legal, and social scene.
The heart of Natsimga's economy is the National Investment Center, where 105 publicly traded companies across 20 industries are listed. Every citizen begins a game round with starting capital in Natsimga currency ($penn) and competes to grow their net worth and National Ranking Points (NRPs). Stock prices move dynamically through both real-time market tickers and player-driven Market Mover Orders — when citizens buy or sell large stakes in a company, their volume generates momentum ripples over subsequent market ticks. Holding at least 10% of a company's shares grants a special Power Rating boost to your National Ranking!
While stock trading is a round-based competition to purchase the Winning Asset Certificate (Winner's Trophy) from the National Shopping Center, Natsimga is a persistent society. Purchasing the Winning Asset ends the round and awards a permanent Blue Gem next to your citizen name. Citizens also compete to acquire scarce Limited Goods (Pink Gems), ascend to Aristocracy, and earn role badges as Sovereign, Government Ministers, Parliamentarians, High Court Judges, GSP Officers, and Journalists.
Natsimga is a constitutional semi-democratic state maintaining a Sovereign & Royal Household alongside a democratically elected Parliament. Citizens can join political affiliations (such as NAFA, AWE, or RGP), stand for election, and vote on national bills. Accredited journalists publish investigative reports in The Natsimga Times, while attorneys and justices settle sabotage and restitution disputes in the High Court of Natsimga.
