Have you ever looked at a graph of stocks and thought "damn, those really are some red and green bars, too bad I don't know what they mean"?

Have you ever wanted to experience the same thing in a video game?

Then you'll love Victoria II! The only game with trademarked "mysterious black box" economics! How do they work? No idea! But I can tell you that my artisans are making airplanes out of fruit, if china gets access to the global market, the economy collapses, and the capitalists are convinced that the clothes factory should be upgraded in the province with a load of iron but no cotton. Or anything else to make clothes out of. Somehow, its still making money.

My brain hurts.
