Sims: March on Washington


There's certainly something to be said about the assumptions, say, Civilization builds into its simulations. Look at its winstates and what they value - technological progress, military conquest, economic superiority, and cultural domination. You don't win by eliminating hunger or poverty or by nuclear deproliferation or by having a particularly high standard of living. You get it for, for lack of a better way to phrase this, very American goals.
