	The '''Geoscape''' is a combination of base management screens and the world view. The Geoscape is where you fight the strategic war, whereas the [[Battlescape]] is where you fight tactical battles. In the Geoscape, you can [[Base Management\|manage your bases]], view alien activity graphs, [[Country Funding]], view the in-game [[UFOpaedia]], load and save games, [[UFO Interception\|intercept UFOs]], and send your [[soldiers]] on missions. The Geoscape is played in real time, although management of [[X-COM Base\|bases]] and ordering planes pauses the game and these can be done at leisure. All non-trivial actions, such as planes flying to their destination, [[research]], [[manufacturing]], and so on, take time to accomplish and this time must be waited out in the world view.

	The map is basically broken into several different continents/ regions. X-COM base cost will be determined by which region it is in. Alien activity will also be specifically launched on a [[ZONAL.DAT\|regional basis]]. Therefore, it makes sense to take this into account when placing your bases.

	Despite the large number of regions, the [[Hyper-wave Decoder]] covers such a large area that you only need a few radar bases to effectively have total global coverage and never let a UFO go undetected on Earth. One Hyper-wave Decoder in the middle of Africa will give pretty much total radar coverage to the entire continent, as shown on this [[UFO Detection#Detection Ranges\|map]].
