East India Company is a computer game currently being developed by Finnish company Nitro Games. It is set for release somewhere around 2008.
The game is based on the history of European conquest of South Asia and South-East Asia by means of their East India Companies. In the game, the player takes on the role of the Governor Director of the East Indies. The task is to conquer the East Indies and establish a trade empire to rule over all others.
