If that was in fact your impression, then the ad clearly failed in its intended purpose. Aside from being a strategy title, the game has almost nothing to do with SupCom.

The Supreme Ruler series takes place in the near future, in which you take control of one of a couple hundred regions (sometimes -- but not always -- based on the world's existing nation-states). You manage your economy, conduct diplomacy, build real-world military units to defend your region, etc. It actually looks pretty interesting, although I never got around to trying out the previous 2010 game. More info can be found here, by the way.

I tried the demo for 2020, but I got scared. It seems more complicated and less intuitive than Victoria: Empire Under the Sun. And that game is scary.

Gelatinous:

Would you say that this game is more or less complicated than Hearts of Iron?

I bought 2020 and I have to admit that I'm totally lost at this one.
Victoria in all it's complex glory, I atleast could feel that I could get started and get my country running.
Here, I have no idea where to start.
I tried to play as Sweden and really confused.
I keep hearing explosions and yet I have no idea why.
Also I keep getting tanks and yet my factory isn't building anything.
But atleast my economy was in the green.

Interesting. I'll have to try the demo.

Ok, tried the tutorial.
Still lost.
Of course the tutorial was pretty damn bad.
