Comparative politics / Nationalism, institutions & belonging

Manytide

One route.
Many ways to belong.

A household has three destinations. A train arrives after the shift begins. A jurisdiction line does not tell you who needs a service. In Manytide, you follow a public-systems mission through five stops in a fictional country, making choices about records, work, rivers, authority and money. Read the evidence, predict what your arrangement will change, then return to the people and obligations it leaves behind. Explore nationalism, federalism and belonging through a story that gives your explanations something to answer for. About 45–60 minutes, with an optional ten-minute coastal detour. No prior theory knowledge needed. Save, revisit and print your field journal. Created by Yoav Duman.
