• Utopia - Join over 80,000 players and experience the world's most popular interactive webgame! Utopia. Join in and get involved in one of the most unique and exciting experiences on the internet. Read the Guide to Utopia and select a game today! More information is also available in About The Games. - Utopia is absolutely FREE to play - is another game from Echelon Games of Earth: 2025 fame (formerly Solaria Games). It is fantasy-based and basically the same sort of menu-driven kingdom management game as many others, except with some interesting differences. Every action in the game (attacking, building, etc) takes game time to complete (almost a real-time game). The game also does a good job of putting an emphasis on politics and cooperation, as well as a slight geographical aspect.

  The game is set in one large World, and this is broken into several Islands (at least 10). Each Island in turn contains several Kingdoms (about 50?). Finally, each Kingdom contains up to 25 Provinces (typically 10) - and you are put in charge of a Province. Each Kingdom is pretty much a randomly generated team - a Regent must be voted who gains an advantage and dictates the relationships with other kingdoms. To become Regent you require a certain percentage of the votes, and your votes depends on your power (so you can certainly bully your way into the position but it will damage the kingdom as a whole).

And each one seeking to give their nation the technological and strategic edge that will allow it to conquer all. It is a massively multplayer strategy game which awards cash prizes. It is free to play, but the trick is that you can spend money (indirectly via PayPal) to gain advantages during the game (such as special technologies). You develop a nation through a large technological range while competing for control of mysterious orbs that are scattered throughout the landscape.
