Could you build this?

No Building a historical 4X grand strategy game with a custom deterministic simulation engine, complex geopolitical mechanics, and extensive sourced historical research requires specialized game development expertise far beyond vibe coding.

What it would actually take: Requires Unity/C# with an ECS or custom deterministic simulation architecture ensuring bit-exact game state determinism for turns and events. The challenging elements are balancing complex interlocking political/economic systems, implementing sophisticated AI opponent logic, and compiling an exhaustive, historically accurate relational database of ministers, events, and regional demographics.
