Simulations
Playable models of how states compete over energy, money and influence. Built for the classroom: each one runs in the browser, takes about half an hour, and explains the theory behind every move.
Iraq without Hormuz
Since March 2026 the strait that carries nine in ten of Iraq's barrels has been shut. Move through the months, switch on the pipelines Iraq lost or never built (to Aqaba, to the Mediterranean, through Saudi Arabia and Türkiye), and see what they would have saved in revenue, salaries and the street value of the dinar, under three scenarios for the US–Iran talks.

Energy Imperium
Lead a hegemon, a petro-superpower, a critical mineral supplier or a fragile rentier state through the energy transition from 2026 to 2050, against three rival states on a live world map. They build, sanction, form cartels and remember what you did. Play alone, or run it with a whole class: teams take states on a shared map with timed turns and a debrief at the end.
