BattleGoat Studios will utilize satellite imagery from NASA in their upcoming geo-political strategy PC title Supreme Ruler 2020.

A sequel to BattleGoat's Supreme Ruler 2010, the game prompts players to unite a world of fractured states into a single, global mega-empire using all aspects of government.

The publisher suggests that the use of the high-resolution imagery creates a "unique feeling of accuracy", allowing players to zoom into small regions and capitals from outer space while managing their empire.

Supreme Ruler 2020 is scheduled for a spring 2008 release.

If this is the same Blue Marble dataset that's been out forever, this isn't really that big of a deal. It's the same free-to-use imagery that Celestia uses and that the Blue Marble Civ IV mod used to create more impressively-colored terrain.

Sorry. :(

Am I missing a joke or is the sequel being the same name as the new game a typo?
