--UPDATE--
I've just done a big final update, which includes a difficulty setting and some new maps (on my site). *Newgrounds is now up to date with the new version.
--UPDATE--
Thanks for all the positive responses! Until it got into the spotlight, the score was briefly at #2 on the all-time list, which was pretty cool.

Keep your people happy at all costs while you rebuild civilization. Be an evil dictator or a hippy in this sarcastic take on the future!
This is the advanced sequal to my RTS colony game of 2 years ago.. I made the original to get into College, and this sequal is the first game I've made since graduating, and it's the first time I've tried drawing everything in Photoshop. It's taken FAR too long to complete (50+ pages of code!!!), and I've been away FAR too long.. but I'm back!
---- NOOB TIP ----
When you lose, you can still continue the game! It doesn't matter if you lose while learning.
-- Features --
*18 different buildings
*8 government types (including crazy ones)
*3 unique maps
*Dozens of random (and usually sarcastic) events
*Build roads and bridges
*Control your stupid people with fear and lies!
-- Basic Controls / Notes --
(Most of the game should explain itself)
*Hold your mouse over buttons and stuff for more info
*Use arrows or WASD to scroll the map
*You can only build bridges in shallow water!
*If it runs slowly, click the MENU button on the bottom right and lower graphics. It is also recommended that you close other windows / programs.
*There's even a developer console (press "~"). Cheats are up at

Good replay value; challenging.
The minimalistic yet appealing and elegant fast-paced gameplay makes for a great game. Great work!
== BUGS ==
Noticed a bug where the amount of resources added per week doesn't correspond to the amount displayed on the interface (happens with almost every government). Pretty annoying on the higher difficulties where you sometimes have to carefully micro-manage your resources. This bug happens in both the NG and Flyborg.net versions.
Maybe it's a browser-related problem? I'm running Firefox 2.0.0.6 ENG.
== TIPS ==
Winning a gaming with a kleptocracy government IS possible! Here's how I did it:
Map: I
Starting point: Northern part of the largest island, near the ore resource and the river
Immediately build a mine, then a dam. Then work your way towards the ore deposit on the nearby island. Afterwards, build a TV station, a farm and two quarries. Build 2-3 coal power plants and maybe 1-2 farms.
As soon as you have enough resources, build a city or two and a college. Keep spamming coal plants (always on hills) and quarries to produce ore as quick as possible with some farms to keep your populace from whining. While you build all of this, first make your way towards the southern river of the largest island and build a dam and a mine south of it (build roads if you have to).
If you're having problems keeping the people happy, quickly colonize the second largest island and build a second TV station.
When you've more or less momentarily stabilized the situation, quickly build a fort, a Faux News TV station and start building nuclear power plants to replace your coal plants.
Keep practicing until you get it just right and you should make it. I won a kleptocracy game at the end of the 25th week.
Misc tips:
Don't build junk factories, they're huge resource hogs and don't help much if your populace is starving or dying from brown outs.
Never have more ore stored than what a building requires. If you don't know what to build: coal plants + quarries and fine tune number of farms
1 coal plant = power for 2 quarries
I didn't use biodome farms or factories when playing kleptocracy. You can try using them but I found out that quarries + farms work just fine.

Awesome Game!
I Like having the small turtle as my advisor! Great job on the graphics. I saw the comparison to the old game and the graphics improved A LOT!

Pretty good.
Could've been better, but could've been alot worse. The graphics were kinda simplistic and a walkthrough tutorial(optional) would've been nice.

beat it
woo heres some hints to start for noobs pick robocracy as ur government cause the 3 weeks really makes it easier. first land by a river on first map and build hydro dam and a mine. second start building a city and colledge along with Ranches because they give u ore. after colledge is finished build around 6 windmills.for power. Also dont forget quarrys and recycling great for getting more ore. soon build the imperial fortress for tech 3 then its simple upgrade and keep building stuff to upgrade ur happiness. famine doesnt matter much cause ur population grows super fast. just build tvs and stuff that upgrades happiness the fastest. Good luck follow that and ull beat it P.S super fun
