Oiligarchy
About Oiligarchy
Oiligarchy is a satirical business simulation Flash game where players run a global oil empire, lobbying governments and exploiting resources while managing environmental and political fallout.
How to play Oiligarchy
In Oiligarchy, your objective is to maximize profits by extracting oil and maintaining society's dependence on petroleum. Start by clicking on domestic lands to survey and build oil wells. As domestic reserves deplete, use your massive profits to lobby Washington, fund political campaigns, and trigger military interventions in oil-rich foreign regions like the Middle East and South America to secure new drilling rights.
Monitor the 'Oil Addiction' meter and keep prices stable to keep the public happy. If discontent rises or resources run dry, invest in green technology to transition or face retirement. Use your mouse to navigate the global map, construct rigs, manage political donations, and trigger covert operations. Balance aggressive expansion with political manipulation to delay the inevitable peak oil crisis.
