it's not based on our world, no. But is has events, people, countries etc that are somewhat similiar to our world.

This world has kingdoms for what is supposed to be around the time of the modern age and said kingdoms are a superpower. It kind of plays upon earth's world tensions despite for what seems like a different world.

It's not fantasy, all humans with no magic.

This.
The world game is based on the real world but with different names and lore.
The year would probably be somewhere around the 60s/70s, during the cold war and before the fall of the URRS.
There are two superpowers, one capitalist and one communist, with something similar to NATO and the Pact of varsovia. And you play in a country in "the middle east" in a resource rich region.

In the base game you play as the president of a democracy in crisis and in need for reforms, having to make deals with all the power groups inside the country and outside, during a big economic crisis. You can be full free market, full planned economy or something in between.
And in the DLC you play as the new king of a stable country, but with internal turmoil and with territorial losses; having to deal at the same time with the politics of royalty.

Both really good political games, you can be a dictator or a democratic leader, go to war or resolve things peacefully.
