Terra Invicta: Top 5 Nations to Start With

Nations in Terra Invicta are where military and political conflicts take place in the game. It goes without saying that picking the right nation to start with can give you an edge against your opponents.

In this guide, we’ll look through 5 of the best nations that can give you just that.

Top 5 Nations to Start With in Terra Invicta

There are several factors to consider when choosing your starter nation. And while each nation has its own unique traits, some are just way better than others. That said, here are the top 5 nations that you should choose from on your first playthrough:

#5: Israel

If you’re looking for a solid all-rounder of a nation, then your best option is Israel. For starters, it comes with four small nations within it and has pretty decent Research. Apart from that, its modern army can easily overwhelm armies from surrounding nations, making it easier for you to claim territories.

Besides, it’s located in a strategic location where the surrounding nations are considerably weaker when it comes to military might. Israel also has a nuke as well as the Tel Aviv Launch Facility which is the nation’s spaceport.

#4: Russia

As a huge nation, Russia is without a doubt powerful, but with a cost. Unlike most nations, Russia has many rival nations including the US, the UK, Germany, Israel, and any other nations that belong to the European Union.

If that doesn’t discourage you from picking this nation, then Russia will have a lot of amazing things to offer you.

First off, it has tons of resources compared to most nations in the game. It also has 3 Mission Controls as well as 3 spaceports namely the Plesetsk, Vastochny, and Yasny cosmodromes. Due to how powerful this nation is, it can easily take control of its surrounding nations either by peaceful or hostile means.

Last but not the least, Russia has the most number of nukes in the game at 30.

#3: USA

As the most powerful nation in the game, picking the US is a no-brainer. Of course, it has a caveat which is that it’s quite hard to control. It comes with 6 Mission Controls as well as 3 spaceports which offer the best boost in the game.

Also, it’s only second to Russia when it comes to its number of nukes which is 28. If not for the fact that controlling the nation is challenging, it would have been number one on this list.

#2: Kazakhstan

The main reason why Kazakhstan is listed number two on this list is simple: it has one of the biggest spaceports in the game. That port is the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Aside from that, the nation also has access to lots of resources that will help you boost your economy in the early stages of the game.

Then there’s the fact that it’s part of the Eurasian Union which allows you to unify it with Russia later on in the game.

#1: France

On our top spot is France for a number of good reasons. For starters, gaining control over this nation allows you to unify all of the nations that are part of the European Union pretty easily. Also, it’s quite easy to settle, and it even has amazing access to naval control.

As far as spaceports go, France has the Central Space Guyanais which is located in Southern America just right above Brazil. This allows you to take advantage of a very efficient boost as long as the surrounding nations have good GDP.
