A browser game where players build businesses, trade resources, and shape the fictional island economy of Mercedonia.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The game organizes its economy around a five-step maker loop: explore, source, craft, trade, and reinvest. Its current slice names nine island districts, 15 business types, 11 resource markets, and one shared economy, with the greenhouse example adding inputs, production queues, equipment, bills, and performance measurement. The site also describes nine island markets where forecasts, price differences, travel costs, and contracts turn geography into an opportunity board.
