Geopolitical Analysis

International relations are driven by actors with competing objectives, hidden agendas, and imperfect information. A sanctions package triggers counter-moves. A diplomatic statement reshapes alliances. A policy change cascades through institutions.

Foretide models these dynamics by creating agent archetypes for each actor — nations, institutions, factions, key individuals — each with their own goals, constraints, and decision-making patterns. Agents negotiate, form alliances, apply pressure, and respond to events across multiple rounds.

The simulation reveals second-order effects: the alliance shifts, the backchannels that open, the unintended escalations that traditional analysis misses.
