"Congratulations on being appointed as newly independent Scotland’s first Ambassador to Central Asia. The Scottish Government has decided to place only one embassy in the region, which will provide diplomatic and consular coverage of all five countries in the region, as well as serving as an important channel for Scotland’s soft power projection.
As one of the country’s foremost experts on Central Asia, the Prime Minister has invited you to lead an initial mission to five countries to assess their suitability to host the embassy. You will visit each capital, meet with leaders and ultimately decide which city you will recommend to the Prime Minister."
I created this interactive, text-based story as the final coursework project for a master’s level course in Political Communication at KIMEP University, Almaty Kazakhstan. An academic paper accompanies the story, with citations and more formal explanations of the basis for the game. Everything can be found on the Letters to Scotland minisite.
