So far it's interesting. You start out by choosing the name of the country, the leader's name (you), currency, tax rate, national religion, war/peace preference, and a brief bio. From there your country is given money to invest in land, infrastructure, "improvements", military, technology and wonders. You have to pay bills and collect taxes when they're due.
The fun part, I'd imagine is when it comes to interaction. I'm not quite there yet, although I've already had invitations from multiple alliances. Several of them promised to give me money, which I find a bit off-putting. As a liberal, I'm wary of international aid.
I created the republic of Jarmo, the first known city, and I put it where it used to be, in Northern Iraq (I thus have Arab citizens). So far, I've purchased 30 soldiers, paid my bills, collected taxes, invested a bit in infrastructure (8.00, whatever that means), but I'm waiting on "improvements" and "wonders" which, like Sim City, require certain requirements before becoming available. I have 112 citizens and apparently they're happy. So far it's like Sim City without the fun graphics.
