Alien Nations (German: Die Völker) is a real-time strategy video game developed by Neo Software and published by JoWooD Productions for Microsoft Windows in 1999.
Alien Nations was a commercial hit in the German market, and ultimately sold close to 1 million units worldwide.
Der Spiegel's Frank Patalong noted that it was one of the construction and management simulations that "dominated the German sales charts for years", alongside Anno 1602 and the Settlers series.
