I think a territorial Go style game makes the most sense. It is, in essence a fight for territory. The openness of my plays in Go make for a "diverse" number of plays. While the diversity can lead to a players ruin. But with understanding patterns and some history of the game play becomes a bit more linear, and refined.

So while diversity is great and all, it really can cause a complete and utter loss in just the opening moves.

Kind of like reality.

Go is a great game and a good point to start.

We can add several different colors for the pieces in order to represent different nations. But this means that we have to play by completely different rules.

Nationalist side gets a bunch of identical units that are weak alone but gain large power buffs when in proximity to one other. Have a couple different options for those, but the player only gets one kind to play with each game.

Globalist side gets a miasma of all the other groups of units (so no proximity buffs) and a tiny number of superpowered units. The latter, as one of their powers, can go behind enemy lines. The presence of the superpowered units in a region allows them to move their lesser units into that region. You could manage the superpower units as being “hidden” using a mechanic like Stratego’s. If you’re making a game that isn’t digital, you could have a grossly simplified format of “laws” whereupon the superpower units being in a region allow them to slowly revoke the unity powers of the opponent’s units in that region.

Seems pretty easy to make. It’ll never be published, though.

I think your answer might be the best one so far. If we can combine this with the metrics suggested above by @progressbin and the territorial properties of Go, we might be on the right track of solving this problem.

There are plenty of details, however, that need to be worked out, and a video simulation could help us a lot to understand the strategy better.

A game similar to Risk. A world map divided into nations. 2-6 players initially divide the map among themselves. Each player decides whether to play as Globalist or Nationalist. Through alliances and war both overt and covert each player attempts to expand their empire.

I can imagine many details to be worked out.
