The Nations (German: Die Völker 2: Aufstieg zum Königreich) is a real-time strategy video game developed and published by Austrian company JoWooD Productions for Microsoft Windows in 2001.

The story of The Nations follows the rebellion of a Pimmon named Korn who creates unrest when making a prophecy that a divine prophet will arrive to revolutionise life on Lukkat.

The game also allows the player to pursue victory through multiple approaches, including military conquest, or uniting tribes and nations through diplomacy.

[1] Other innovations in the game include merchants, trade of various goods, production chains, and new options for military conquest and diplomacy.

"[10] Bruce Geryk of GameSpot found the mechanics shallow, noting "it really amounts to absolutely no personality at all...all the units do basically the same things (and) they look and sound the same as well.
