Supreme Ruler is a strategy video game in which a player controls a region's government and attempts to conquer a fictional world of fragmented states. The game simulates raising funds through taxes and spending on agriculture, government services, and the military. Up to 9 regions play at once, either human hotseat or AI-controlled, and all actions are resolved simultaneously at the end of each turn. The design of Supreme Ruler was influenced by earlier nation-state simulations such as Sumer, though the concept is taken further with the addition of multiplayer, military battles, and a more sophisticated design.
The game was created by George Geczy and produced and published by JMG Software International, released for the TRS-80 microcomputer system in October 1982. An updated and expanded version, Supreme Ruler Plus, was released in May 1983.[1]
