Disclaimer
Head of State is fiction. It starts from real countries and a simplified picture of the world in 2025 and 2026. From there everything is simulated: the events, decisions, crises, wars and outcomes are made by the game. They do not depict or predict real events, and they do not reflect the policies of any real government or the views of the developer.
No real person appears in the game. The leader you play has no name, and other countries' leaders are not named or shown.
Maps and borders are drawn for gameplay from Natural Earth data and imply no position on the status of any territory or on any disputed border. Where a border is disputed, the game draws it one way so it can be played. That choice is not a claim. Where a capital is disputed, the game uses another major city as the country's seat. On the World map, smaller countries are folded into a neighbour so the map stays playable.
Governments are sorted into a few simplified game types, such as democracy or autocracy, and figures such as army sizes and economies are rough approximations for play. They are not assessments of any real country.
The game starts with the real disputes of 2026 as tensions between countries. You can turn them off in Settings (Real disputes).
