Populus is a low fantasy colony sim about settling distant lands and shaping a new society.

The game focuses heavily on economic and political systems. Exploit local resources, trade with the homeland, and grow a thriving settlement. You can develop a specialized industry or aim for a balanced economy. It’s your choice.

At the heart of the game is settler autonomy. You don’t command individuals directly. Instead, you issue orders. Assigning tasks, providing tools, training soldiers. Your people act on their own will, adapting to the conditions you create.
