The world is at your feet, Mr. President.
As the commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces you have unlimited access to every single military operation conducted by the USA. In I Am Your President, you overwatch the world by opening its control panel, the map, where you have insight into every country’s details.
Once you open the map, you are immediately informed about the latest events on the globe. Some of them might have been triggered by you by e.g. sending out spies. Other events happen automatically, as the world never sleeps.

The map offers you various options but one particular of them is what brought many players here - the nuclear attack. However, you must remember one thing - the term ‘nuclear’ here is metaphorical, as well as blunt. Once you deploy an attack of this kind, its outcome may be disastrous for your foreign politics. You’d better use it only when your Diplomacy skills are topping.

Of course, you can do what you want. After all, it is you who owns the Gold Codes. No country shall be a challenge for you.

However, the countries allied to the one you decide to attack won’t be happy with this course of events. The more countries you make the USA fall out with, the worse your country’s opinion in the world will be.

Last but not least, you have to remember that the world is divided into spheres of influence. Because of that, you must be considerably cautious when planning actions on the map. That little country in Eastern Europe may not seem dangerous but the Big Bear behind it is something you should be not interested in fighting with. Not immediately, at least.

People use to address the President of the United States of America as the Leader of the Free World. Well, it is up to you how you define “free” but undoubtedly you have a huge impact on the whole globe. Use it wisely.
