Dictators: No Peace (called Dictators: No Peace Countryballs by Steam) is a casual strategy video game for smartphones and computers running Windows based on Polandball by Rahul Naik released in 2019. In it, you play as one of 159 countryballs, trying to colonize all other countries. This is done by earning money, improving your country's army, navy, and air force, and sending them to invade the target country. If all three of these forces are stronger than the target's, you take it over and can buy cash-increasing activities on them, though you also lose the resources that were spent during the attack.

Along the way, rebels in taken over countries may try to take control away from you, or the more powerful ones like China and Spain may try invading them as well, though the in-game news system always warns you when it's about to happen. There is also a product-trading system for potential cash production and an option to nuke countries and deal up to 150 damage to them.


This game provides examples of:

  • Ad Reward: The game grants you one use of a nuke on any country you like to weaken its defenses by 150 upon watching an ad.
  • Anti-Frustration Features: If you don't remember where a country that must be defended is, you can pay a small fee to get it shown.
  • Dissonant Serenity: The main countryballs are smiling and happy, even when they see their armies fight in their country.
  • Drugs Are Good: You can bribe friendly rebels with drugs.
  • Nuke 'em: After colonizing at least 10 countries, you can drop an ICBM missile to significantly lower a country's defenses by 150 points. It is never actually necessary to drop them, though.
  • Propaganda Machine: You can use propaganda to recruit friendly rebels.
  • Take Over the World: You must colonise and control all other countries.
  • War Has Never Been So Much Fun: As expected when countries are balls. There are no casualties shown and the mood is largely happy.
  • A Winner Is You: The only thing you get for colonizing the world is one congratulatory screen that calls you the greatest dictator.
  • You Don't Look Like You: Israel, Kazakhstan, Nepal, and Singapore lose their signature Non-Standard Character Design from the comics (a cube, a brick, a rawr, and a triangle, respectively), becoming regular balls. In addition, Poland is no longer upside down.
