Soooo.... maybe in video reality terms we should allow the person to deal with struggles inside a region/nation of their choice (let them be a ruler) and then they would be interlinked with peoples representing the other nations or using the computer to simulate problems they would encounter with the other nations. Other options they could choose would to be a world leader and as time progresses they have to attempt to better solve the world's problems at the time, taking into account cause and effect all over. They could also choose to create their own nation and world,not a representation of our world today, with or without being linked to other people, and they would encounter common problems but not linked to any particular time space or region. etc... etc..... I have lots of those ideas...
I also agree with Sara that a United Nations type assembly is needed (for class).
Slave/able body person trade would add a unique spin and along with that adding in a civil war within a country(s) would be fun as well.
And of course as many others have stated already the environment plays a major factor (maybe the player could choose the epoch in which they will play in)
Building: we could have economy enhanced by travel in certain countries, so other countries can use their resources and trading to build "monumental" sites.
The video game should be kind of like our website building it will become "easier" more fun and challenging as you progress and feel out the game. (should be able to pretty much self teach or the game will prompt you throughout with you options and choices.)

Maybe we should also analyze and critique pros and cons of governments and their rule, and look at books like Animal Farm.
