QED.

For instance: games may be added to the simulation according to global
gains (sum off all game results, GNP); neutral or cooperative
strategies may be used for small gains (both gain), but envious
strategies when gains are too big or disproportionate. Of course, a
"national strategy" would be the probability distribution of
individual strategies of players. And this model can be "filled" by
actual figures (kind of econometrics), for instance, by making
interviews or monitoring current behaviours...
