The simulator calculates a society's success rate based on the complex interplay between three main classes (lower, middle, and upper) and numerous societal factors. It employs a nuanced algorithm that considers:

• Class prosperity and distribution
• Economic indicators
• Social cohesion
• Government effectiveness
• Environmental factors
• Infrastructure quality
• And more...

• Lower Class Prosperity (45% weight) - Represents basic needs and survival
• Middle Class Stability (40% weight) - Represents economic engine
• Upper Class Wealth (15% weight) - Represents investment capacity

The simulation uses a sophisticated algorithm that considers:

1. Base Success: Weighted combination of class prosperities

2. Penalty Factors:

   • Extreme inequality penalties
   • Failed state conditions
   • Low class penalties
   • Factor-specific penalties (corruption, unemployment, etc.)
   • Economic inequality impact

3. Bonus Factors:

   • Social cohesion
   • Class balance
   • Positive synergies between factors

The simulator determines various societal states including:

• Moderately Stable Society
• Lower Class Poverty Crisis
• Middle Class Economic Instability
• Upper Class Wealth Decline
• Widespread Government Corruption
• Severe Social Fragmentation
• Extreme Economic Inequality

For added entertainment value, the simulator includes optional fantasy scenarios:

• Mana Storms
• Thanos Snap Events
• Godzilla Rampages
• Joker Chaos
• Graphene Technology Revolution

• Node.js 18.x or higher
• npm or yarn package manager

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/civilization-simulator.git
cd civilization-simulator

2. Install dependencies:

npm install
# or
yarn install

3. Start the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev

4. Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser to see the application.

• npm run dev - Start development server
• npm run build - Build production version
• npm run start - Start production server
• npm run lint - Run linting
• npm run test - Run tests (when implemented)

The simulation processes various input factors through multiple stages:

1. Base Calculations:

   • Computes prosperity for each class
   • Applies factor effects and synergies
   • Calculates penalties and bonuses

2. Adjustments:

   • Applies scaling factors
   • Implements minimum thresholds
   • Caps maximum penalties

3. Final Output:

   • Success rate (0-100%)
   • Class prosperity levels
   • Current state assessment
   • Notable events

The simulation uses:

• TypeScript for type safety
• Modern JavaScript features
• Complex mathematical models
• Event generation system
• State determination logic

The simulator can model various real-world scenarios:

• Economic inequality impacts
• Failed state conditions
• Social mobility effects
• Policy change outcomes
• Crisis response effectiveness

The simulator acknowledges certain limitations:

• Simplified model of complex real-world dynamics
• Focus on specific aspects of society
• Abstraction of many detailed factors
• Idealized interactions between factors

Planned improvements include:

• More sophisticated economic models
• Additional societal factors
• Enhanced historical scenarios
• Improved visualization tools
• Time-based progression
