Field notes
The described simulation assigns a name, sex, location, family-income position, and parents’ work at birth, alongside indicators such as life expectancy and under-five mortality risk. Each simulated year brings changes to four gauges, while players choose whether to study, work, save, or care for health and family. The homepage says many events include a country statistic and its source; it also links to a comparison covering 18 francophone countries.
