For instance, the Civ games are basically Whig History: The Game, presenting liberal capitalism as the ideal end point for all societies. It even includes uncivilized "barbarian tribes" whose sole purpose is to be exterminated so you can take their land for the glory of capitalism.

    there was a civ spinoff game done by a different studio that had it's end game wonders be some kind of nanoreplicator for post-scarcity and a universal bill of rights that eliminated all victimless crimes. also it went far into the future with underwater cities and hovertanks. plus i think civilizations could spin off of others from revolutions. the AI was a mess and it had issues but it seemed at the time lightyears ahead of the regular civ games.
