[[Civilization]] is a popular [[4X
The general concept is that the player controls a civilization from the stone age through the present day into the space age. The first installments gave you two ways to win: conquering everyone, or [[Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri|sending a colony to Alpha Centauri]]. Later, three more conditions were added: get elected leader of the world by the [[United Nations]], controlling a dominant chunk of the planet (which kind of obsoletes the "conquer everyone" goal, which is probably why it was removed again later), or create a culture so influential that it engulfs everyone else's.

** Also in ''IV'', if you've been at war with someone else for a while, one of the "War Weariness" descriptions is "WAR... What is it good for? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!"
** In ''V'' the music for the Helsinki city-state is "Ievan Polkka" by Loituma, a Finnish song best known from the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wnE4vF9CQ4 Leek Spin] meme.
** The [[Cosmetic Award|achievements]] for ''Civilization V'' are almost entirely [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]]. [[Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog|"The World Is a Mess, and I Just Need to Rule It"]], [[Battlestar Galactica
** In the expert lumberjack's Civilopedia entry for the ''Colonization'' expansion, it states that "[[Monty Python's Flying Circus|they were lumberjacks and they're OK.]]"
* [[Shown Their Work]]: ''Rhye's and Fall of Civilization'', a historical simulator for ''the entire world'', is ridiculously detailed, with pretty much every tile named after a city that really exists there, [[Istanbul (Not Constantinople)|and they change according to the controlling Ci]]v. It's a [[Game Mod]], not something made by the developers, although one that usually gets included as a bonus in expansion packs for the game.
