Eco Tycoon: Project Green is a business simulation game in which players
have to manage various environmental concerns while maintaining the country’s
economy. On starting playing a new game, the players begin their journey in
the year 2010, and have a limited 50 years to reduce their carbon dioxide
emissions as agreed upon at “World Summits”, which take place every five years
beginning in 2015. The “world summit” is an in-game organisation that
determines how aid is distributed to promote emission reductions. The player
starts with a small region containing only cities in which he constructs such
buildings as mines, power plants, and businesses. There is a finite number of
locations in which buildings can be placed, requiring careful planning. Along
with reducing emissions, the player must also balance the production and
consumption of electricity, water, food and garbage while sustaining the
economy.

There are seven playable regions in-game: North America, South America,
Europe, Africa, North Asia, South Asia and Australasia. Every region has
different environmental balance, different resource availability and
population. For a single-player game the player chooses a region and the rest
are controlled by computer, or the AI. There is no rivalry among the different
regions, indeed they are friendly and money and resources can be traded with
each other.
