This is actually pretty cool. There’s this program called S.E.N.S.E. (Strategic Economic Needs and Security Exercise) from Poland that lets government officials try out various scenarios that might that a good ol’ fashioned market economy might run across, in the hopes that officials might know what to expect when they face it in real life. Soon, officials from the newly-liberated Egypt, Tunisia and Libya will be taking a crack at it.

> SENSE models developments in an imaginary country called Akrona and can involve between 40 and 66 participants at one time, with each ‘player’ taking on the role of a different official, state actor or business.  
>  
> An exercise generally consists of two days of conflict management and negotiation training, followed by three days of computer-based simulation and instruction.

Seeing as the game accommodates 40 to 66 players at once, it’s probably a safe bet to say that S.E.N.S.E. won’t be seeing a commercial release any time soon, but it’s good to know that even world governments see the same potential in games that we see over here at *Kill Screen*.
