The game casts you as the new president of Chimerica, a South American country that has just overthrown a tyrant named Farsante.

The interface is a simple map of the world showing the current level of influence the USSR and the US has on each nation. Turns are based around crises which much be resolved through diplomacy. This in turn affects the status of nations and the global threat level. If the threat level [DEFCON] gets too high, the game ends.
