THE PERSONALITY BASE

With nearly 300 personalities for each country (50.000 for the world) and about twenty personal variables for each personality (age, political leaning, religion, popularity, charisma, loyalty to head of state, etc ...).
All these figures are portrayed with a 3D face and speak during the meetings. The game includes over 6 hours of dialog.
The names of the characters incorporate the linguistic roots of the different countries.
The artificial intelligence algorithms determine the reactions and the initiatives of the characters. Each character is actually linked to variables (age, health, personality, skills, ambition, political affiliation, hobbies . . . ) that establish a sort of opinion table on the different subjects of the game. The actions accumulated by the player(s) and world developments are then collated with these opinions. Depending on the character's popularity and his or her degree of influence, his or specific behavior is produced. 

THE INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS
