This is a complicated browser game (Complicated being a good thing. 
.) that I recently discovered and I must say, it is quite addictive. It deals with Factions that you chose to be apart of, then in that are empires which are like guilds. It’s a space themed game in which you can create ships from scratch using technology that you discover by researching it. The colony screen is pretty detailed with a happiness level, unemployment rate, crime rate, and education rate along with a bunch of other things including 11 different resources, colony wealth, size, density, and number of scientists that are present in your colony. Of course there are a bunch of other things in the game, so much in fact that I will not begin to list them.
I urge all who have time on there hands to try it out. If you do, I’m of the Discordian faction and my user name is Xilivai Ferozix (Imagine that.).

Edit: Forgot to mention that I did not create the game or participate in it’s creation in anyway.
