I once mixed Settlers of Catane with Risk soldiers, to improve the former’s game military aspect. The result was surprisingly fun and balanced.

Sounds like Junta https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junta_(game)

Essentially, everybody has a role in a banana republic government. President hands out money which everyone tries to get into their swiss bank account. If the players are not pleased they can start a revolution and it turns into a Risk game. After a revolution the roles can be switched.

Great fun with the right people.

You easily notice it's 40 years old though, the game is horribly unbalanced by modern standards.

interesting and had me thinking on a tangent if banks are more balanced today than 40 years ago and my gut feeling is that they are less balanced today than 40 years ago. Though can't nail exactly why I feel that is the case.

How did the turn order effect the game? I know with risk and reinforcement cards it had a huge impact, more so if you use increasing over fixed.
