BACKUP CAPITAL: SWITCH ON

Spread thirty capital functions across five Japanese cities without overloading one destination.

About this news game

Why a drop machine? The vote becomes only a starter lever. Administration, communications, transport, economy and data must still be distributed before a backup system exists—turning the gap between legal framework and implementation into the board itself.

The displayed ideal is 10,000, while the mathematical ceiling is 9,760. Spread the load and preserve redundancy to approach S rank.
