This simulator models geopolitical risk as a cascading process on a network: seven countries are linked by weighted trade and diplomatic ties, and clicking any link lets you impose sanctions or trigger open conflict on that single relationship. Rather than staying contained, the resulting shock diffuses through every remaining link — proportionally weaker where trade has been restricted or severed — so neighbours, allies and third-party trading partners absorb secondary risk even when they were never part of the original dispute. Node colour tracks each country's live risk level from stable green to high-risk red, while the risk index and affected-country count summarise the overall state of the network. Adjust effect strength to see how a single flashpoint can stay local or spiral into a systemic shock.

⚙ Under the hood

Network graph of 7 countries linked by weighted trade/diplomatic ties. Click a link to cycle Trade -> Sanctions -> Conflict; a continuous diffusion model spreads the resulting risk through the remaining links each frame, with node color shifting green to red and a live weighted risk index plus affected-country count.
