MARSHALLINIUS — State Building Simulation

What happens when Anno 1602 and Transport Tycoon have a child and “Aufschwung Ost” is the big sister?

You get MARSHALLINIUS.

A retro-inspired state building simulation where you found a nation in 1994 and guide it through decades of economic development — from coal power plants and small towns to hyperloops, fusion reactors and flying cars.

Inspired by classic 90s strategy and tycoon games, MARSHALLINIUS combines economic simulation, infrastructure building and technological progress into a sandbox where every decision shapes the future of your country.

Build a Nation From 1994 to the Future

Start with a small settlement, a government building and a bank loan.

Your task is to transform your country into a global superpower by managing:

• infrastructure

• industry

• population growth

• finances

• trade and diplomacy

Expand your territory, construct cities, connect industries and guide your economy through technological eras.

If your economy collapses, people will leave.

If you succeed, your nation will thrive for generations.
